Can Miquelet

Nestled at the foot of the rugged Teix mountain, this tranquil hideaway is the perfect Mallorcan escape. There is something mystical about the village of Deià. Once a much-loved hideaway of Princess Diana and the haunt of many an artisan, painter, and writer, these honey-coloured streets are full of treasures, spilling out into an endless, sparkling backdrop of the Mediterranean. Ca’n Miquelet occupies just the spot to sit back and take it all in, surrounded by craggy peaks and with sea views that turn from turquoise to golden as the sun disappears behind the horizon.

Crisp, white walls bathe the villa’s interiors with a fresh and airy feel, punctuated by painted blue accents throughout. This simple colour scheme instantly makes you feel cool and relaxed — a classic Mediterranean aesthetic. Ca’n Miquelet spaciously sleeps up to eight guests across four large bedrooms, each of which has been beautifully finished with crisp, white bedding and equipped with a modern ensuite. A bright and airy living space opens out onto the sun-kissed terrace, and there is also a separate dining room for family meals.

The villa’s large, saltwater swimming pool looks boldly out at the lapping waves of the Mediterranean. Scattered all around it are plush sunbeds, lush olive trees, and a shady dining area that you can retire to for sunset barbecues. The surrounding gardens are also brimming with vegetation. Take a leisurely stroll to enjoy the soft aromas of lemon, orange, and a variety of local herbs.

A delight for mountain lovers, Ca’n Miquelet is an ideal starting point for a selection of scenic hiking trails. The villa is in Llucalcari, a little hamlet in Deià with an exceptionally beautiful pebble beach that has pools formed from a freshwater spring. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Deià’s picturesque plains have also attracted a number of Michelin-starred restaurants and atmospheric bars to take residence. Enjoy the village's laid-back, bohemian vibe over cocktails while listening to live, local music at Sa Fonda, or head to El Olivo or Bens d’Aavall-C for a fine dining experience. For traditional tapas, we recommend Xeillini.
