Born from long hikes in the Serra de Tramuntana and the quiet pause of a global pandemic, Deià Unpacked is an intimate podcast exploring the stories that shape one of Mallorca’s most remarkable villages.

Hosted by Tara — a native New Yorker who once lived in Washington DC and now calls Deià home — the podcast grew organically from curiosity: about the island’s layered history, its creative spirit, and the people who pass through or choose to stay.

Through relaxed, low-key conversations, Deià Unpacked offers listeners a genuine, behind-the-scenes look at the lives, ideas, and journeys of fascinating residents and visitors of Deià and Mallorca. Each episode feels like a thoughtful walk and a good chat — honest, unhurried, and deeply human.

Recorded in inspiring settings, including the iconic La Residencia, the podcast invites you to slow down, listen closely, and experience the island beyond the postcard.

A Note from Tara, Host of Deià Unpacked
Like many good projects, Deià Unpacked started with a simple idea — and grew through collaboration, friendship, and trust. What began as a personal passion quickly became a shared effort, made possible by family, close friends, and a small but mighty creative team.

I’m endlessly grateful to Joseph for helping launch the podcast; to Matthew and Karolina for the beautiful logo and cover art; to our brilliant tech wizard Bence; and to musical artist Tristan René, who wrote and performed our opening theme, Tea Break.

A very special thank you goes to Hannah and Thomas at La Residencia, Deià, whose support made it possible to record in such a magical and historic setting. And of course, my deepest thanks to every guest who has trusted me with their stories.

If you — or someone you know — have a Deià or Mallorca story to share, I’d love to hear from you. You can reach me at info@deia-unpacked.com or via Instagram DM.

Until then, I hope you enjoy listening.

With love,
Tara
