Deià from Sóller: Getting There, What to See and the Robert Graves House

By bus. TIB line 203 links Port de Sóller and Sóller with Deià, Valldemossa and Palma. According to the official timetable valid in November 2026, Sóller to Deià takes about 25 minutes and Sóller to Valldemossa about 40. Full times are in our bus 203 guide. That timetable is valid until 30 November 2026; after that, check the new one on tib.org.

By car. It is about 10 km (approx.) along the Ma-10. Parking in the village is limited, so read the parking section below.

By taxi or on foot. For taxis, see taxi and transport. If you like walking, Deià is a regular stop on coastal routes: see hiking in Sóller.

The village sits on a hill above a valley, with the Puig del Teix above it. Its present shape dates from the Muslim period (10th to 13th centuries), when the terraces and irrigation system were built, and it became independent from Valldemossa in the 16th century.

• Church and cemetery: you walk up through the village; the views are worth the effort.
• Robert Graves house: see the next section.
• Stone streets: an easy stroll through the old village with valley views.

The English poet and novelist Robert Graves was one of the first foreigners to settle in Deià and lived there until his last days. His house is now a museum and the home of the Robert Graves Foundation; the garden has been restored to its 1930s layout.

According to the foundation's official website, the museum is open all year five days a week, but that page gives no opening times or prices. Confirm them before you go on the foundation's website or by phone (+34 971 636 185). The house is a few minutes' walk from the village centre, on the road from Deià to Sóller.

Cala Deià is a small stone cove at the end of a narrow road, with very limited parking. The municipality has about 5 km of coast, including Sa Foradada, Cala de Deià and the small cove of Lluc Alcari. You can also get there by sea from Port de Sóller: see boat trips. For beaches and coves nearby, see Sóller beaches.

Deià has an archaeological museum, a parish museum, the Robert Graves house and the Son Marroig museum, the former estate of Archduke Luis Salvador. The International Festival of Deià, a classical music festival, is held every year; the dates were not in the sources I checked, so confirm them before planning. The village's patron saints are John the Baptist and Sebastian of Milan.

In summer it is hard to park in the village and on the road to Cala Deià. Arrive early or, better, take the bus from Sóller so you do not depend on parking. For the Sóller valley, see parking in Sóller.
