The idea of holidays in Magaluf probably conjures thoughts of foam parties and beach bars - but there is plenty more to this Majorcan resort, besides the lively party atmosphere.
The sun-soaked resort in the south west of Majorca, which is the largest of Spain's Balearic Islands, offers plenty for families as well as groups and singles. The long and wide beach which is covered with fine, pale sand and dotted by shade-giving palm trees, is perfect for family breaks in the sun with opportunities galore to hit the waves via the water sports on offer.
Magaluf holidays do have a reputation for wild nights and high-rise hotels, but recent years have seen the redevelopment of this resort and moves towards a more family-friendly image.
Partygoers can rest assured though, as Magaluf's legendary nightlife scene is still thriving. It's just there is now something for everyone under the Majorcan sun in Magaluf.
The lively resort is home to a wide variety of accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets, and is packed with restaurants and bars in which to spend warm evenings sipping a cocktail or two and enjoying the local hospitality.
Party people will love the famous nightspots, such as Linekers Bar and BCM Planet Dance. 
A popular evening activity is the Pirates Adventure dinner show, which draws plenty of crowds eager for a side order of swashbuckling with their food. If you're aged over 18 and enjoy a bit of pirate-themed sauciness, the Pirates Uncut show is hosted much later in the evening and one not to miss. The Cala Vinas casino is just a short taxi ride away and offers even more nightly entertainment.
There is plenty to see and do during the daytime in Magaluf, if you can tear away from the lovely beach and gentle waters of the coast. At Marineland, there are dolphins, sharks, penguins and a variety of other marine life to see, while you can immerse the family in water-based fun at the nearby Aqualand water park. The Western Water Park, which is themed around the Wild West, is another fun-packed water adventure for the family.
The capital city of Palma is just 20 minutes away and easily accessed by frequent bus services - or you could hire a car to get about on Majorca. Shopping and sightseeing are top of the agenda in charming Palma.
Holidays in Magaluf can be reached via flights into Palma Mallorca Airport (PMI) - Mallorca is the Spanish name for the island - and take just two hours from the UK.
