In the northwest of the largest of the Balearic Islands, between the mountains of the Sierra de Tramuntana on one side and the Mediterranean Sea on the other, there is a tiny village called Deia. Narrow streets, orange gardens, a hotel in an old manor house, simply called La Residencia ... Little has changed here since the days of corsairs and smugglers. Habitat in Deia may seem to be a kind of stagnation in the rural wilderness in contrast to the high society life of the south of Majorca. There are no sandy beaches, cheap hotels and noisy vacationing families. Maybe this is why royals, artists, writers, musicians and Hollywood stars come here. Many celebrities, such as Michael Douglas or Claudia Schiffer, have bought villas here. Those who have not yet acquired their own modest apartments in Deia, will certainly stay at the Hotel La Residencia, which without exaggeration can be called one of the best in the Balearic Islands. La Residencia in its current form was born in 1987 and is obliged to the owner of the transnational Virgin Empire Richard Branson (the one who promises space tours for everyone in the near future). However, the actual buildings in which the hotel is located, were built long before that - in the XVI-XVIII centuries. Although inside everything was refitted in accordance with the requirements of modern comfort, we managed to keep the main thing - the atmosphere of an old Spanish manor. In 2002, La Residencia entered the Orient Express hotel chain, and Richard Branson reserved the right to come to his favorite room overlooking the mountains and the sea once a year. A total of 59 rooms in La Residencia. The pride of the hotel - four suites with a private terrace and pool. The guests have at their disposal a huge territory, two tennis courts, a golf course, several swimming pools, a beauty salon and a SPA center. That is why, even if all the apartments are occupied, you can easily imagine that you live in this picturesque village all alone. After that, with pleasure you begin to turn into a real rural inhabitant, a connoisseur of simple village joys, with feeling, plainly and the disposition of one who lives in his own residence in Majorca.Отель The Residence Flight: in Palma de Mallorca you can fly through any European capital, a flight through Zurich, for example, will cost from $ 795, then 50 km by car.Weather: in May in Mallorca it is already warm - +23 ... + 25 ° С.Accommodation: from 185 to 2350.Entertainment: SPA, fitness, beauty salon, tennis, golf, hiking in the mountains.
