The breathtaking village of Deià, 16 miles north of Palma, has stone houses on winding streets in a romantic setting in the Tramuntana mountains. If you don’t spend the night at Deià’s La Residencia (C/Son Canals s/n, 971 639 011, www.hotellaresidencia.com, €285-€595), don’t miss lunch at its restaurant. The laziest way to see the area is a trip from Palma to Sóller on the charming, narrow-gauge Orange Blossom train (971 752 051, www.sollernet.com) from its own small station next to the main station on the Plaça Espanya.
