Step into the world of one of Mallorca's most colorful residents at Son Marroig. The picturesque house was the home of the Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria, a late 19th-century nobleman who decided to escape court life in Vienna and retreat to the scenic island, where he became one of Europe's first environmentalists. Perched on a hill overlooking the sea, the house now functions as a museum, where displays of the archduke's books, pictures, and personal items celebrate his life and work to preserve Mallorca's wildlife and traditions. Next to the house, you can enjoy a stroll through its colorful garden. The house also serves as a popular performance venue; concerts are held here throughout the year. Use our Deia trip tool to add Son Marroig and other attractions to your Deia vacation plans.

It's the view that counts. An old house still privately owned but you are allowed in to enjoy the view and memorabilia of a globetrotting archduke evicted from Italy. by Garibaldi

Spectacular setting in the remote northern part of the island. Not too much in the house; nice garden area. It's quite a drive up here, but the views are spectacular.

Beautiful castle, attended a wedding hosted there. Did not visit the museum. Things to improve: Catering staff was quite friendly but very poor English and low attention span. E g I’ve been ordering drinks and several times they prepared a wrong one or wrong amounts. (E g Gin & Tonic instead of Negroni). Not sure if catering staff was arranged by the castle or externally. Also during the wedding ceremony outside we were sitting on chairs; our chair was on an anthill! Ants bite quite a bit :( We were also given paper umbrellas from the sun which helps from the heat BUT you can’t see anything behind the rows of umbrellas (bride/groom/view etc). Great things: THE VIEW. Breath-taking, especially if you go out of the entrance towards a bar about 100 meters to the left, there is a nice panorama. Catering/food Not sure if that was managed by the castle or external catering firm but the food was the best one I’ve ever had on weddings. Other Was taking a Taxi from southern part of the island and Taxi drivers refused to get us there several times cause it quite far, even if we pre-ordered taxi from the hotel, which was quite frustrating.

Nice museum although the half-island Sa Foradada is more attractive, so if you are at Son Marroig, go forward climb the railing and have a nice walk...
-
4€ per person to see this. It gets crowded often times but it is worth it. Nice view. You can also go to the toilets there.
-
Nice view and small museum if you are passing nearby it’s worth checking.
-
Beautiful. The drive was awesome up through the hills and towns. View spectacular. Warm in September, perfect temp.
