Deià Mallorca: The Essential Guide from Local Residents…

Enjoy our quick guide to Deià, a small coastal village in the Spanish island of Mallorca known for its residents who have a penchant for music and literature.

Featuring a stunning scenery every day of the year, it has been attracting American, English and German expats since the end of the First World War.


Why Retirement is a Terrible Idea (And What to Do Instead)...

For 30 years, I built businesses with one goal in mind: the finish line. Like many, I pictured the classic dream—moving to Spain, soaking up the sun, and finally switching off. But now that I’m here, I’ve started questioning everything.

Watch the video below and let me know in the comments: are you ready to retire or are you ready to reinvent?


Below we feature two interviews with local expert Deia estate agents who give a wealth of tips and advice about Deia and the surrounding area.

We start with Meila Alzamora Good of LUXE PROPERTIES who covers Deià and the surrounding areas.

Specifically, we asked Meila on the advantages of choosing Deià as a place to live and the value for money that you can get if you decide to stay permanently in the area.

Meila, thanks for helping our readers. I guess we should start off by asking what would you say would be the advantages to living in Deià compared to other Mallorca towns?

It is a beautiful small village in the mountains near the sea. Perfect place to relax, sit and enjoy the exquisite views. During the season there are great restaurants that serve a simple meal or fine dining experience. There are also a number of small art and cultural events.

Would the Deia area not suit certain types of people, i.e. are there any possible downsides?

Folks with mobility issues as the terrain is quite mountainous.
