Magaluf holidays

Set on the largest of Spain's Balearic Islands, Magaluf offers plenty for families, as well as groups and couples.

The long and wide beach, which is covered with fine, pale sand and dotted with shade-giving palm trees, is perfect for family breaks and groups and couples too, 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. Many of the hotels have been pulled down and replaced by low rise properties.

Partygoers need not worry 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. And in the winter months you'll find a peaceful, quiet resort with an older crowd there to soak up the winter sun on offer.

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.

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.
