House museum and viewpoint over Sa Foradada · 25-45 min · €4, free up to age 12 · Closed on Sunday

Son Marroig was one of the houses of Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria, the traveller and naturalist who bought a good part of this coast in the 19th century. Today it is a house museum in his honour, on the Valldemossa to Deià road, with the white marble temple that appears in every photo and Sa Foradada, the holed peninsula, at its feet.
What you see
The route passes through the ground floor and the old 15th-century tower, the chapel, a first-floor room with a Portuguese four-poster bed, the lounge with paintings and display cases of objects and books, and a room with photos of the Nixe, the archduke's yacht. It ends in the garden, with a small pond and the marble temple facing the sea. The arches terrace opens only from May to September, and the sacristy is closed for works. It takes between 25 and 45 minutes.
Hours and price
Monday to Saturday, from 9:30 to 14:00 and from 15:30 to 16:30. Closed on Sunday. Admission: €4 adults, €3 in groups of more than 20 and free for children up to age 12. Visits phone: 971 639 158.
Getting there
It is at kilometre point 65.5 of the Valldemossa – Deià road, the Ma-10, about ten minutes by car from each village. The path to Sa Foradada leaves from the estate's car park.
With children and reduced mobility
Under-12s do not pay and the garden with the temple appeals to them. To reach the first floor there is a narrow, steep staircase.
