This place is just a divine. After being here, you will have no doubt why a member of the monarch family, the Habsburgs, chose this scenic spot for his house. You will be drawn by the nature.
It's an informative, compact house-museum with accompanying explanations, real photos, etc. Decorated with freshly flowers...and I would say in such a heat it was a nice touch.
Keep in mind that Luis Salvador wasn't a man of luxury like SiSi (so don't expect to see a Hofburg or Belvedere); he was a scientist, explorer, mariner, etc. He simply bought an old, ruined mansion and restored it. It's simple inside, but impressive outside with terraces and a chapel, and the views just breathtaking.
All the belongings and furniture are well preserved and cared.
An ancient sundial is on the wall of the building, dating from that time. Care to find? :)
A beautiful, small, and well-maintained garden.
Interesting fact: one of the houses that Luis Salvador bought for his "amante" in this area now belongs to and is run by Michael Douglas.

Read moreAs a wedding photographer, I can honestly say that Son Marroig is one of the most breathtaking venues in Mallorca. Perched on the cliffs between Valldemossa and Deià, it combines history, elegance, and one of the most iconic views on the island. The famous white temple overlooking the sea has become a landmark for Mallorca weddings – and it’s even more magical in real life.
Many couples choose Son Marroig because of its unforgettable sunsets. A ceremony in the garden, with the ocean stretching endlessly behind, feels both romantic and cinematic. From a photographer’s perspective, the light here is extraordinary – soft, golden, and perfectly balanced by the dramatic backdrop of mountains and sea. Every moment becomes a picture you’ll want to frame.
The venue has space for larger guest lists while still feeling intimate, and it’s flexible enough to host both outdoor and indoor celebrations. Most couples bring in their own catering, rentals, and décor, which makes the event fully customizable with the help of a wedding planner. This gives you the chance to create a wedding weekend that’s entirely your own while anchored in such a historic, timeless setting.
