33 Best Sights in Mallorca, Ibiza and the Balearic Islands

This stunning estate belonged to Austrian archduke Luis Salvador, who arrived here as a young man and fell in love with the place. He acquired vast tracts of land along the northwestern coast, building miradors (lookouts) at the most spectacular points but leaving the pristine beauty intact. Below the mirador, you can see Sa Foradada, a rock peninsula pierced by a huge archway, where the archduke moored his yacht. Now a museum, the estate house contains the archduke's collections of Mediterranean pottery and ceramics, Mallorcan furniture, and paintings. The garden is lovely. From May through September, the Deià International Festival holds classical concerts here (see  www.dimf.com for the schedule). 

Maintained by the Fundació Tren de l'Art, these galleries have two small but remarkable collections—one of engravings by Miró, whose grandfather was born in Sóller, and the other of ceramics by Picasso.

Take time to appreciate the neoclassical symmetry of this theater, Palma's chief venue for classical music. The opera season here usually runs through June.
