Deya Holidays

On the northwestern coast of Majorca, Deya is one of the most famous villages in Majorca. Traditionally home to an international array of writers, musicians and actors including poet Robert Graves, the combination of culture and natural beauty is a seductive one. The stone buildings are a typical example of Majorcan architecture and, huddling as they do beneath steep hillsides, conjure up an idyllic scene. Cobbled lanes add to the village's rustic charm and are well worth exploring before heading down to the coast to cool off in the warm waters of the Mediterranean.

The rugged and mountainous coastline makes for an impressive backdrop to a day by the sea. To work up a sweat before plunging into the Mediterranean, take a walk along the shoreline. There are plenty throughout the area and on foot is definitely the best way to take in the majesty of the scenery. You can also take the steep 30 minute walk up to Deya village from the coast. Here you will be spoilt for choice in terms of eating and drinking with many fine bars and restaurants lining the cobbled streets, offering the best in local food and ambience.

Holidays in Deya are an absolute dream for walkers and lovers of all things arty. Known as Deia locally, this village on Majorca's northern coast is set on the steep, terraced slopes of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range and gazes over the sparkling Mediterranean.

Over the years it has attracted many artists, writers and musicians. Galleries and workshops jostle amidst boutiques, bars and cafes on the town's steep cobblestone streets. In addition to tapas and local cuisine sample the wines, beers and liqueurs of the region, like 'palo' and 'hierbas.'

Pick up an original or visit the 15th century parish church and museum which houses a religious art collection, the 13th century monastery of Miramar and the archaeological museum. On your holidays to Deya, there's plenty of exploring and browsing to do.

And it's all accessible from the idyllic Hotel Es Moli Deya. Spending your holidays in Deya here is sheer bliss. Tear yourself away from the gorgeous pool and you'll find the only way to really explore is on foot. Amble downhill to Cala Deya on the coast. You'll find excellent bathing and snorkelling from its pebbly beach and welcome refreshment from the couple of restaurants.

Venture further along the shore on the rough, precipitous coastal path to Puerto De Soller and take the replica San Francisco tram up to attractive Soller Town which has more shops and restaurants in its narrow, medieval streets.

Deya could capture your heart and imagination, so be prepared for a love affair that may last a lifetime.
