La Residencia, set amongst olive trees in the artists' village of Deià, Mallorca, offers the warmth yet sophisticated feel of a Mediterranean country house with stunning views, amazing service, and some of the best food in all of Spain. A true Mediterranean dream!

Last March, we launched one of the largest sculpture gardens in Spain, complementing the already large art collection guests can enjoy throughout the property and at the Sa Tafona Gallery. The sculptures are placed around the gardens, terraces, and mountainside and include works in different materials by a series of distinguished national and international sculptors. Juan Waelder, the hotel's sculptor in residence, welcomes students of all ages to join his classes or to simply pass by for an informal chat.

Sheltered by green mountains on Mallorca’s north-west coast, and just an olive stone's throw from a pretty swimming cove, La Residencia is a Mediterranean dream.

UNESCO declared the Tramuntana Mountains, on Mallorca's Northern Coast, a World Natural Heritage Site.

Situated in the heart of the Tramuntana area, La Residencia combines unique luxury with pride in its rural roots. Its twin manor houses sit in lush gardens among citrus groves on the edge of the artists’ village of Deia: La Residencia is a true Mediterranean dream.

Liam Chronnell discovers some of the delights of Palma de Mallorca June through to August was a virtual wash out. By September I’d had enough — I needed sunshine and, with this in mind, we headed off to Palma in Majorca.

Just over two hours away by plane, the capital and only city on the largest of the Balearic Islands was the perfect antidote to England’s ill winds.

Palma de Mallorca, to give it its proper title, has undergone a major resurgence in recent years as a city break destination to compete with the likes of Barcelona and Milan.

The island has been a magnet for mass tourism since the 1950s, as the hordes arrive at the nearby San Son Joan airport on the way to package holiday destinations from the tacky Magaluf to the boutiques of Pollensa and everywhere in between.
