Visit Deià, Mallorca
A must see! Deià is a town that you have to visit during your time in Mallorca. The location is magical, in the evergreen valley on the slopes of Tramuntana. Its charming houses rise between the mountains, giving it a romantic and unique environment. It became a haven for numerous painters and writers in the 1960s and is currently a mandatory stop for travelers traveling to the north of the island.
Deià is the perfect destination to take a walk, visit its emblematic points, have dinner in one of its many romantic restaurants, or take a dip in its famous Cala Deià, 3km from the town (steep walk). The town comes to live in the evening and is still very popular with the locals.
What to do in Deià?
Go up to Mirador de Deià, you will get a fantastic view of the stone houses on the hillside. The Museo Arqueológico, American painter and amateur archaeologist, William Henre Waldren, built and created this small museum where he could display his finds for others to enjoy. Visit the Church of Sant Joan Baptista, the cemetery and the Robert Graves´s house.
You can take a dip in Cala Deià but in summer we found it rather poluted by oil from all the yachts. And on the way back you can go through the emblematic Son Marroig and of course arrive at Sa Foradada for sunset.
There are plenty of restaurants in town. One of our favorites is the lovely veggie shop/restaurant De moniö. Looking for an official restaurant, then the upmarket El Olivio is a must or the Instafamous Ca's Patró March. Reservations are a must.
