Not only does Magaluf have an epic nightlife scene, it also has a spectacular European Blue Flag award-winning beach. Extending a kilometre along the coastline is the soft, white sand and warm, shallow water, ideal for snorkelling, leisurely swims and sleeping off the hangover. Many of the best hotels in Magaluf boast these excellent sea views and easy beach access, too.

If you love your water sports, Magaluf’s beach will not disappoint, with its large array of activities including jet skiing, windsurfing, scuba diving and fun boat trips. Or, to simply sun yourself on the beach and darken your tan before hitting the clubs, there are plenty of sun loungers and parasols lining the coast.

The long promenade along the edge of the sand is lined with lots of restaurants, hotels, bars and shops, so you’ve got everything you could need within easy reach. You’ll also have prime viewing of the party boats and yachts making their way through the Mediterranean Sea.

Magaluf holidays – as with all holidays in Majorca – are ever so popular due to its gorgeous climate and beaming sun. The shoulder season in Majorca tends to be from March to May, as well as late September to October, where you can find impressive holiday deals, less crowds, but still warm temperatures.

Party time

As you might expect, the main reason people choose Magaluf holidays is because of its epic party scene and it really can’t be downplayed. Comparable to the popular party destinations like Ayia Napa and Ibiza, Magaluf’s nightlife is top tier. Enjoy the wild nightlife, sleep in the next day, relax on the beach all afternoon and then you can start all over again.

Magaluf has so many bars and clubs you’ll be spoilt for choice. Even the most practised bar crawlers won’t be able to sample all of the venues in just one holiday – good job we’ve got plenty of cheap Magaluf holidays! The booming clubs will have you dancing until sunrise and singing along to some of the most famous DJs. BCM Nightclub is probably the most famous club in Magaluf, and it certainly doesn’t disappoint. You’ll also find that most venues will have promotions and deals on to make you get the most for your money – sometimes you might even get a free drink just for entering.

There are also numerous, quieter pubs and cocktail bars to get your night started – or whatever time you’re starting. BCM Square is where you’ll find most of the bars and clubs, but there really is pubs and bars around every corner in Magaluf.

Shop til you drop

Whether searching for that perfect bikini or souvenirs to bring home to your friends, Magaluf’s shopping district will not disappoint. You’ll find everything you’re looking for in the small boutiques, high street shops and supermarkets. If you’ve booked a last minute holiday to Majorca before, it’ll be easy to get a hold of anything you forgot!

Just behind the beach is Magaluf’s mall where you can scour the shops for your favourite surf gear, clothing or jewellery. For something a little more individual take a day trip to Inca, one of Majorca’s largest outdoor markets. You can get a low-cost bus connection from Palma to look through the leather handbags, sandals, shoes and more. Even if you’re just keen for a spot of window shopping for your cheap holiday in Magaluf, it’s still a fun day out.

Surprisingly family friendly

Magaluf holidays are not only for those party seekers, in fact, there’s lots of family-friendly activities and venues that all ages will enjoy. During the day the resort has a lively atmosphere, but still relaxed, and it’s not difficult to stay away from the party strip on an evening. There are plenty of fun pubs and restaurants great for families too.

Western Waterpark is only a short drive from the centre of Magaluf and boasts thrilling slides, a large wave pool and splash park. We dare you to go down one of the crazily steep slides, the tornado rings rides, or kamikazes. There’s plenty for the little ones too, with a whole section of the park filled with smaller slides and splash zones. Of course you’ve got to hit the lazy river too for a slow paced bit of fun with the family.

For more adventures, head on over to the magical land of Katmandu Park. This quirky amusement park has 4D cinema rides featuring westerns and zombies, along with mini-golf, surfing experiences and a whole mythical world you can explore. It can make a great day out for all if you’re looking to mix it up.

There’s also the Pirates Adventure Show, which has a family friendly and an ‘uncut’ version – so just make sure you book the right one. It’s full of spectacular acrobatics, gymnastics, dancing and plenty of cheering for your favourite pirate.

Tickets for all of these activities can be bought online prior to your holiday, which is a super handy way to stay on top of the spending money for your cheap holiday to Magaluf.

Restaurants, cafes and pubs

Last but not least, the dining scene is yet another attraction for a holiday in Magaluf. There is something for every food lover here, with its selection even appeasing the fussiest eaters.

The tourists and ex-pats that frequent here have encouraged international restaurants serving British, American, Chinese, Indian and an array of other cuisines. Although the All Inclusive hotels tend to have set meal plans, but don’t be afraid to sample different restaurants – the same as if you’re sticking to a budget, a night or two out soaking up the hustle and bustle of Magaluf really is worth it.

If you want to try out the local food, there are also many authentic Spanish and Mediterranean restaurants serving the classics of paella and tapas, plus so much more. You’ll find most of these restaurants surrounding the beach on the promenade and in the clubbing quarter.
