Deià is a small village in Mallorca's Serra de Tramuntana that suits walkers and couples drawn by its artists and Robert Graves's house. Choice is very small, and the cove is a walk down from the village, with paid parking.
Deià is a village of around 740 people on Mallorca's north coast, squeezed between the Tramuntana mountains and the sea. Robert Graves built a house here in 1932 and stayed until his death; it is now a museum, and many writers and musicians have lived here since. The church of San Juan Bautista and its cemetery sit at the top of the village, and the whole place is small enough to see on foot. Cala Deià, the cove below, is where locals gather and boats anchor in summer.
