A favoured haunt of shedloads of celebs, holidays to Deia take you to a world of lush olive groves and old Spanish charm.
Pretty village
Deia, located on the Balearic Island of Majorca's north-west coast, is a village that's not short on charm. Palm trees and pines sway next to rust-coloured hills, but don't be fooled by the sleepy vibe – this place has welcomed famous faces like Mick Jagger and Richard Branson.
Delicious dishes
Splash out at the swish Michelin-starred number, or pop into locally run restaurants for more casual options. Specialities to get your mouth watering include suckling pig and seafood paella. Round off your evening meal with a tipple at an al fresco bar with mountain views.
Perfect days out
The nearest beach is Cala Deia, a five-minute drive away – the petite pebbly shores sparkle with clear water. It's also worth checking out Palma, the island's capital, at a slightly longer 45-minute drive. Here, you'll find an old cathedral, tapas bars and boutiques lining historic cobbled streets.
