Magaluf holidays are perfect for boisterous behaviour, a proper boogie, keeping the kids busy and just kicking back completely on a dreamy beach.
It’s no secret… Magaluf loves a party. Dust off those dancing shoes and bust a groove in world-famous BCM, grab a glass of bubbly (or three) at the bougie Nikki Beach or amble along the main strip Punta Ballena, where happy hours get the ball rolling for cheeky stag dos, hen groups and big birthday bashes. Where better to celebrate a milestone, eh! Visit BH Mallorca for world-famous DJs, EastEnders bar for cracking karaoke or kick back and watch sunset from the relative refuge of Rooftop Nine’s roof terrace.
Swap the tipsy silliness for chillin’ beach days, feel your work stress dissolve in the sea breeze as you wander the Palmanova promenade or get a serious buzz flyboarding out at sea. And if flyboarding is a bit too oh-my-god, there are loads of other watersports (let’s hear it for the pedalo!). Purpose-built for banging holidays, Magaluf is entertainment central, with affordable hotels and all-inclusives galore — go on, beat your record for visits to the breakfast bar!
Packed with modernist art and stylish plazas, Mallorca’s colourful capital will defo get the romance flowing. Stroll the botanical gardens, coast lazily between boutiques and bars on Paseo Maritimo and dip into gorgeous galleries. Check out the gothic cathedral too — those stained-glass windows are exquisite. Palma’s laid-back vibes are an hour’s bus ride from Magaluf, or twenty minutes if you drive. Bask in it!
Magaluf holidays and fast-food favourites are a match made in heaven. What better for your cloudy head than a full-stack Maccies breakfast? Mmmm. Hit local joints to try authentic Mallorcan dishes like sweet ensaimadas pastries, cured sobrasada sausage and Tumbet — a summery plate of grilled veggies in a tangy tommie sauce. Fusion’s the name of the game elsewhere, so grab medleys of fresh seafood, steak, thai and tapas on the gorgeous Mediterranean coastline.
Best for... Avid dancers, beach bums and families after an action-packed getaway 🕺
Go... Outside peak summer for gorgeous temps and fewer roving ravers 😎
You have to... Hit the beach for watersports and day trip to beautiful Palma 🏄

Peak summer crowds bring serious energy to Magaluf, so check the event schedule if you’ve got a particular party or DJ in mind! Avoid the July and August school holiday rush if you’re after more R&R.
Spring and autumn have perfect Mediterranean weather — hot enough to get your tan on and go exploring, and cool enough to not totally fry. These seasons are quieter and cheaper for all your shenanigans too.
Magaluf mostly shuts up shop in winter, so steer clear then. Palma’s a vibe all year round though — visit during April’s Easter parades or the artsy festivities of Nit de l’Art in September.
