Dance until dawn then recover on the beach, or enjoy family shows and paddling on holidays to Magaluf.
Loud, brash and endlessly fun, Magaluf is one of Spain's most-visited resorts. Magaluf lounges along the western edge of the huge Bay of Palma on the southwest coast of Majorca, the biggest of Spain's Balearic Islands. While nightlife might be the first thing that springs to mind when booking holidays in Magaluf, the blue-flag beach is a wide, mile-long arc of fine pale sand that's rightly popular with families. In peak season, the beach is covered in sun-worshipping holidaymakers from Britain, Germany and Scandinavia. Hotels, restaurants, bars and palm trees line the coast whilst swimmers and lazily floating snorkelers pepper the calm, clear Mediterranean waters.
Best of Magaluf holidays for...
- Nightlife: Neon-lit Punta Ballena strip is the focal point of Magaluf's legendary nightlife. BCM Planet Dance, the resort's biggest club, sprays outgoing dancers with foam and dazzles with laser shows long past dawn.
- Babies & toddlers: There's nothing like a bucket and spade to keep young kids happy. Spend your holidays to Magaluf hanging out on the beach building sandcastles and eating ice creams. Simple!
- Shopping: Hop aboard a frequent bus and hit the shops of Palma, the island's capital. The area around Plaza Weyler is awash with boutiques while the old quarter is the place to go for local arts and crafts.
- Kids & teens: Walk the plank to the Pirates show for dinner served with a swashbuckling mix of dance, music and adventure - think Captain Jack Sparrow meets Cirque du Soleil. It's a family-friendly night out, unless, of course, you go for the late-night Uncut version, strictly for over 18s.
- Active types: Behind the main town, along Carretera de Cala Figuera, Western Water Park Magaluf is a western-themed water park where kamikaze slides, such as The Beast with its 30m drop, are guaranteed to thrill.
