Kimkim's Take
Pros
- In Deià, it's all about the location, and this hotel has one of the best in the village, right on the hillside overlooking the town and valley—the views are truly incredible.
- You can enjoy each meal at a different eatery, with outdoor and indoor dining, plus unique experiences like candlelight dinners under olive trees, afternoon teas, and meals in an art studio.
- The award-winning spa features a few pools and soaking tubs, both indoor and outdoor, and a treatment menu.
- Relax at the outdoor pool surrounded by tall palm trees, sun loungers, and village views.
- The hotel's kids' center is filled with activities that even adults might want to join, like cooking classes with a chef, pottery workshops with the resident artist, nature walks with donkeys, tennis lessons, and a giant coloring wall.
- The rooms are exceptionally cozy and stylish, with antique furnishings and balconies, though upgraded units and suites have furnished terraces and seating areas.
- Groups and families might enjoy the three-bedroom villa with its own pool, though families with kids can also request extra beds and receive discounts on connected rooms.
- The design suite really offers an artistic experience and has beautiful private outdoor spaces, including an individual pool.
- Other reasons to love this hotel include its sculpture garden, walking trail, art gallery, and picnic lunches escorted by a donkey.
- Everything feels so stylish at this hotel, but the bathrooms are quite outdated.
