Where is Magaluf
Magaluf is a well-known tourist destination located in the municipality of Calviá, about 18 km from Palma, the capital of Mallorca.
For many years, it had held a bad reputation due to excesses committed by young tourists, particularly from the UK and other European countries. Excessive drinking and partying, along with absolute disrespect towards locals, have forced the government to control this kind of behavior in order to raise the quality of tourism arriving on the island.
How to arrive to Magaluf
By car: From Palma it takes around 20 minutes via the Ma-1 road. If you drive directly from the airport, it may an additional 5 minutes. A taxi ride from the airport to Magaluf costs around €45.
By bus: Take EMT line A-1 from the airport to Plaza España. From there, go to the Intermodal Station and take the TIB 102, 104, or 106 lines to reach Magaluf.

The popularity of Playa Magaluf draws both locals and the numerous tourists residing in the town’s hotels.

36 meters above sea level and 500 meters away from the beach stands the islet of Sa Porrasa. It is known as the Black Lizard Island for its big population of these lizards. Tourists reach it by swimming.

3. Magaluf Things to Do – Party the Night Away
It is said that Magaluf’s nightlife is a haven like no other. There is a vibrant world of bars and clubs in Magaluf waiting for visitors avid for a party.
Bars
Punta Ballena, also known as “The Strip”, is the hotspot party street in Magaluf. For many years, it has been the center of excess in drinking, partying, and decadent behavior by young party-goers.
Magaluf has tried hard to change this image. The owners of bars claim to have made million-dollar investments to enhance their premises, which they consider to be unmatched in Mallorca. They assert that the era of happy hours and cheap alcohol, which originated in Magaluf during the tourist boom, is now a thing of the past. Defending the transformation, they emphasize that no bars in Mallorca compare to those in Punta Ballena, with substantial investments for their renovation and unique pricing.
There is a big amount of pubs and bars in Magaluf. Among them, Bar Papis, in Avenida Pere Vaquer Ramis, Magaluf opens from 9:00 am to 3:00 am. It’s a nice meeting point, whether for breakfast, a coffee, or to watch HDMTI sports. It presents live music shows everynight. It gets high recommendations.
Other popular bars in Magaluf are: Morgan’s Pub, Zeppelin Music Bar, Jokers Club, Mambos Terrace, Dreams, Mano’s Place and Britannia.
Walking just a few minutes from “The Strip”, you will arrive in Palmanova. The environment here is different and more relaxed. The most recommended bar in this area is inside the Iroko Mallorca, an elegant and the best restaurant in Palmanova.
If you are looking for other sophisticated bars, you could try a drink at Rooftop 9 on the terrace of the Innside Calviá Beach Hotel or at the bar of the Melia South Beach Hotel.
Nightclubs
The MCP/Magaluf Club Pass lets you go to 5 different nightclubs in one night with only one ticket. These nightclubs are Bananas, Boomerang, Carwash, Honeys, Tokio Joe’s, and the Pre Club Bar called Boomerang terrace. They’re all on the main street in Magaluf.
You can buy group tickets and VIP tables to get the best offer directly. It’s great for bachelorette parties, bachelor parties, birthdays, or if you just want a special night in Magaluf. There are deals for all group sizes.
