Son Marroig & Sa Foradada
Son Marroig
A former estate of an Austrian archduke, its marble gazebo framing the sea stack of Sa Foradada with its huge hole.
Son Marroig was one of the estates of 19th-century Austrian Archduke Ludwig Salvator on Mallorca; he devoted his life to studying the Balearic Islands. The estate is now a small museum, and the circular gazebo of Carrara marble in its garden is one of the island's most classic photo spots, facing the sea stack of Sa Foradada, which has a circular hole about 18 meters in diameter through its middle. From the estate, a dirt path leads on foot down to the headland in about an hour, where a restaurant serving paella and seafood operates in summer. Admission is about 5 euros. Located on the Ma-10 road between Deià and Valldemossa, it can be reached by Bus 203.
