The Tramuntana classic, booked for the art, the olive groves and a terrace facing Deià, if you can live with the stairs. Check availability for a Deluxe Junior Suite. Old Mallorca at its most polished: manor houses, olive terraces and art in a village that has drawn painters and writers for generations, with the sea a walk downhill rather than at the door.

Is Cap Vermell Grand Hotel worth it?

Come for Voro and stay for the quiet valley, the space and the spa. Book the table first, then the Junior Suite Valley View.
