Where Do Celebrities Stay in Mallorca?
Spain is SUPER popular this year as a summer destination! From bustling Barcelona, to my friends who just returned from San Sebastian ~ to Becca Tilley getting engaged to Hayley Kiyoko by turquoise waters in Mallorca, to celebrities partying all over Ibiza: Spain is THE place to be this year. And since two podcasts I recently listened to both mentioned travel to Mallorca, it got me wondering: “Where Do Celebrities Stay in Mallorca?”

Overview of Famous Mallorca Hotels

- La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel ($$$$$) = The Most Famous A-List Hotel in Mallorca. This hotel has hosted more stars than any other in Mallorca. From Princess Diana to Dua Lipa, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tom Hanks, U2, Harrison Ford, Naomi Campbell, Sting, & most recently, “Chicks in the Office” podcaster Ria! And once upon a time, soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo actually lived in La Residencia, taking over their top floor. This is THE hotel to be seen at in Mallorca. Chelsea Handler owns a home just to the north, & the Kardashians also love the little village of Deia.
🥇 My Top Pick for Celebrity Spotting: La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel
If your dream Mallorca vacation involves beautiful mountain villages, incredible scenery, & the possibility of star-spotting: La Residencia in Deia is where I’d stay.

Magical Deia.
Great Budget Option Nearby: Hostal Miramar ($120+) — Boutique hotel with TONS of character, located right by La Residencia, with incredible hilltop views!!! I would soooo stay here!!
- St. Regis Mardavall ($$$$) = Gorgeous Luxury Resort on the Beach ~ By Palma. Cristiano Ronaldo also loves this hotel, vacationing here nearly every summer. Other stars who’ve stayed include Sofia Vergara, Tiger Woods, Megan Fox & MGK, Melissa Joan Hart, & rapper 50 Cent. The St. Regis is located by Palma (Mallorca’s major city + airport), on a lovely little bay. If being by the beach & having a spa is important to you: stay here.

St. Regis Mardavall.
Great Budget Option Nearby: Hotel ROC Illetas & Spa ($160+) — Located right on the water with stunning ocean views, several outdoor pools, & a relaxing spa + wellness center.
- Four Seasons Mallorca at Formentor ($$$$) = Historic Hotel + Host of Hollywood Legends. Located at the very northern tip of the island: Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin, Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, & F. Scott Fitzgerald have all stayed here ~ when it was Hotel Formentor. And Agatha Christie (my favorite writer!) wrote a novel here. Since its been turned into a Four Seasons, everything is top-of-the-line: including the dining.
The only downside: you’re pretty far from Palma & its nightlife.

Why Couples Love the Four Seasons Mallorca:
- 💕 Secluded & Romantic: Set on the beautiful Formentor Peninsula, offers a peaceful escape surrounded by pine forests, turquoise waters, & stunning Mediterranean scenery.
- 🥂 Perfect for Special Occasions: With elegant dining, beautiful beaches, & luxurious amenities, it’s an ideal choice for honeymoons or anniversaries.
- 🌅 A Dreamy Mediterranean Setting: Relax by the sea & enjoy sunset cocktails…

Where to Ball on a Budget in Mallorca…
I get it: the properties listed above are super expensive. Is there anywhere you can stay in Mallorca that still gives you that feeling of luxury, without crushing your bank account?
In a word: yes.
Want the La Residencia experience for less?
My Budget-Friendly Alternative: If La Residencia is too expensive, try staying nearby at Hostal Miramar. You can still experience Deia’s incredible scenery without paying five-star prices. And bonus: you can dine at La Residencia without staying there!
Hostal Miramar is a darling B&B located by La Residencia in Deia ~ for a fraction of the price. Click on photo for pricing.
Stay by the St. Regis Mardavall for Less: Hotel ROC Illetas & Spa
Hotel ROC Illetas is a great option if you want beachfront pools + easy access to Palma, like the St. Regis. Click on photo for pricing.
Some Other Options…
Here are some options: The Yartan Boutique Hotel ($215+) is located in the top-right corner of the island. This is a super-chic hotel set in a former 18th-century mansion.
Their long lap pool is breathtaking; rooms are modern & airy.

Another option, & where I’d want to stay: Hotel Creu de Tau Art & Spa ($206+). Also set on the top-right corner of the island, this hotel has an indoor AND outdoor pool with incredible castle views, is Adults-Only, with works of art featured throughout the hotel. When you see their wood-beamed rooms & upscale restaurant: you’ll wonder why this 4-star hotel only costs around $200/night….which is a steal on Mallorca!

To close out the article, let’s discuss a few stars who own homes in Mallorca. Brad Pitt owns a villa in Port d’Antratx (on the southern coast), while Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta-Jones own Villa S’Estaca, which is located close to the cute village of Deia, on 250 acres & is worth a staggering 30 million dollars!
Chelsea Handler recently bought a beachfront “fixer-upper” in Port de Soller, which is just north of La Residencia ~ the island’s most famous celebrity hotel…

Welcome to GWTW!
So our best chance for celeb-spotting in Mallorca is at La Residencia, it sounds like? Are there any cheaper hotels nearby where we could stay, then run up to La Residencia for dinner, etc?
Hi Stacey, thanks for your question! Yes, I think that La Residencia & the town of Deia are generally the best places for star-spotting on Mallorca. Two more reasonable hotels nearby are: 1) Villaverde Deia, which is very charming, & 2) Hostal Miramar, which has incredible views! Hope that helps : ) xoxo
That’s fun, Andrea! xoxo
