You could easily miss Mallorca's smallest village, which consists of little more than a bend in the Deia to Soller road. With just a handful of houses and a hotel, it would make an ideal base for a walking holiday in the nearby mountains.

Deià is an idyllic village of green-shuttered, honey-coloured houses that has become a millionaires' hideaway resting in the shadow of the Teix mountain, part of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range.

Being on the west coast, it's also one of the best spots to catch a beautiful Mallorcan sunset.
