What are the best beaches in Magaluf?

We can’t talk about beaches in Magaluf without giving mention to Magaluf Beach itself. Packed with activities and lined with nightclubs in the lively tourist centre, if you’re worried about FOMO then this is the place to be. The iconic Palmanova Beach is also located closeby, with sun loungers, parasols and swanky bars within easy reach. If you prefer something a little more scenic, though, then head to Cala Vinyes. This palm-studded bay is just 60m long, with shallow waters great for the little ones, and there's not a jet ski in sight, making it the perfect spot to unwind with your beach read.

What are the top hotels in Magaluf?

When it comes to party scenes, nowhere does it like Maga. If you’re jetting off for some adult-only fun in the sun, then BH Mallorca Hotel is the perfect backdrop thanks to its central location, supersized sun terrace and thrilling waterpark where you won’t be waiting in line behind the kids. All about those beach scenes and pool days? Sol Barbados and Sol Wave House All Suites won’t disappoint, with extravagant pool complexes and family-friendly activities all round. If you’re looking for somewhere to take the little ones though, then it has to be Sol Katmandu Park & Resort. This resort is home to one of TripAdvisor’s Top Ten Amusement and Water Parks in Spain, along with three outdoor swimming pools and non-stop entertainment.

What's the food like in Magaluf?

​Whether you’re looking to enjoy a sit-down dinner or grab a burger on your way to the beach, you won’t have to walk far to find it in Magaluf. You’ve heard of paella, but have you heard of fideua? This Mediterranean dish has all of the ingredients and flavours of a traditional paella, but it’s made with pasta noodles instead of rice for a comforting twist. When it comes to midday snacks, give ensaimada a go - a traditional Mallorcan sweet bread, or sink your teeth into some turron - a homemade almond nougat. Missing the food from home? This tourist resort has plenty of British restaurants at hand, Tom Brown’s being one of the most popular. Here you can tuck into some comfort food (we’re talking breakfast baps, jacket potatoes and baked beans) whilst washing it down with your favourite beer.

Where’s the best nightlife in Magaluf?

From pool parties to neon nights, the fun never stops in Magaluf. For three floors of VIP booths and banging beats, head to BCM Planet Dance - the largest nightclub in Majorca. The Magaluf Strip is also packed with lively venues like Tokio Joe’s Nightclub, Banana’s Disco with its own resident DJs, and Carwash - known for its epic foam parties and cheesy tunes. If you prefer something a little more lowkey, then give Piano Bar Magaluf a try for a great atmosphere with karaoke nights, or Zeppelin Live Music Bar for premium cocktails and top-class music lineups.
