Where to eat at and around La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel

The hotel has three kitchens. El Olivo cooks Pablo Aranda's tasting menus, with a vegetarian version, in an old olive mill or on its terrace facing the village, every evening of the season; Bar and Restaurante Miró serves all day under 33 works by Joan Miró; and the Tramuntana Grill cooks over charcoal by the pool, lunch from April to October and dinner from May to September. The five places in Deià below are 3 to 5 minutes on foot each way, along or just off the main road, timed from the hotel's door: add the lifts and steps from a suite at the top of the grounds, and the climb back to it. Cala Deià, with its fish restaurant on the rocks, Ca's Patró March, open for lunch, is 26 minutes downhill on foot and a stiff climb back, or 9 minutes by car. For Sóller, its port and Valldemossa you will want a car or a taxi: Sóller is 17 minutes away, Valldemossa 16 and Port de Sóller 19.

The hotel's fine-dining room sits inside an old olive mill that keeps its original press, and in good weather the tables move out to a terrace facing the village and the mountains. Pablo Aranda, in charge since 2023, cooks tasting menus built on Mallorcan produce, with a vegetarian version. The MICHELIN Guide lists it in the 2026 selection without a star; the setting is the reason to book. Dinner only, every evening through the season. Outside guests can book 30 days ahead, so reserve a table when you book the room.
