Don't waste your time with magical protections. I've noticed that the beholders' attacks in IWD seem to even ignore such things as an anti-magic shell.

The best defense against instant death attacks like disintegration is to direct them elsewhere. Summon monsters and let them lead the way. While they occupy the beholder's attention hit it fast and hard with spells like flame arrow and magic missile and your most powerful missile weapons like bolts of lightning. Beholders go down reasonably quickly if they are hit fast and hard.
