Magaluf

The resorts of Magaluf (Magalluf) and Palma Nova (Palmanova) are situated on the island's south west coast at the western end of Palma Bay. Transfer time from the airport is about 20 to 30 minutes. Although technically the dividing point between Magaluf and Palma Nova is still somewhere on the rocky headland between the two beaches, the two resorts have over the years, grown to the point where they now effectively merge into one, although of the two resorts Palma Nova is slightly quieter and is perhaps more suited to families.

During the high season, night life is vibrant and attracts a large number of young British and European tourists. There are many English style pubs, along with clubs and discos which, in the summer, rarely close before dawn. From the end of October to about Easter, Magaluf is popular with middle aged couples and others seeking winter sunshine, as opposed to the 18-30 crowd that frequent the resort during the summer. Although many of the cafes and restaurants do remain open, the more lively music bars and nightclubs close down.

Both Magaluf and Palma Nova have sandy beaches with everything on hand. Water sports, glass bottom boat trips, as well as shops, bars and restaurants are all located along the wide traffic free promenades. There are many popular fast food restaurants, as well as a number of more traditional cafes and restaurants along the seafront in Palma Nova.

Magaluf is also known as Magalluf.
