Business Information -- Magaluf

Well what Brit does not know of Magaluf?

It’s the main British resort on the island and has been for many years.

There are many British bars and restaurants in Magaluf to choose from but the trick is to look very carefully at what you are considering buying. Some work, some don’t, some could if you changed the theme or the way they operate. Remember the best and busiest bars in Magaluf rarely come on the open market for obvious reasons. That being said, there are still many businesses that are for sale where you can make a decent living. As with all areas in Majorca, its all about buying right.

Thousands of hotel beds full every night of the summer, but the tourists have many bars and restaurants to choose from. The capital of Stag and Hen parties with a winter trade as well.

Resort Information -- Magaluf

Magaluf is Mallorca’s original pie and a pint resort. It was the flagship resort for promoting Mallorca to the world as a destination for cheap package holidays. Today it remains one of Spain’s top mass tourism destinations and it competes with Benidorm and Ibiza as one of the best places to go in summer for nightlife. Magaluf clubs are well known by clubbers throughout Europe and some of the top DJs from the UK turn up here for short stints during the peak season. If you prefer to get to bed before sunrise Magaluf still has plenty to offer you and is very popular for family holidays and with retired people.

To the east the resort begins where Palma Nova ends at the headland of Torrenova. Every single street is packed with bars, restaurants, cafés and shops making specific recommendations very difficult considering the speed at which establishments change hands from one year to the next. In general you’ll have no problem finding plenty cheap food and drink and you might be pleasantly surprised at the good quality of meals in a lot of the restaurants.

Magaluf beach is magnificent with its glorious sand and fine, clear water. There are small kiosk bars set up along the beach during the peak summer playing great music. To the east of the beach the British pub/restaurant The Boatyard (“Geordie owned and run … we also speak English”) is a fine place for a pint and traditional British bar meals. To the west the Nawab Indian restaurant around the corner from Lineker’s has a great terrace overlooking the beach whilst Tom Brown’s and Happy House do a roaring trade in British food.

The Restaurante Las Palmeras at the end of Avinguda de Magaluf is a nice spot for Spanish meat and fish dishes. The Britannia pub just opposite is a long established favourite amongst holidaymakers. From here along Avinguda de l’Olivera there are more long term favourites for family entertainment including Jokers and Benny Hills. The BCM disco is here and just opposite is Morgans pub/restaurant and Mrs Doyles Irish pub which is the best Irish pub in town with fine live fiddle music every night.

You’ll find plenty theme parks around Magaluf to fill your time. Favourites include Marineland which is just 4km east at Portals Nous and the waterparks of Aqualand and Western Park which are just on the main road heading west out of Magaluf. For a brilliant evening of entertainment for all the family you must go to the Pirates Adventure show.

There’s plenty to keep you amused for in and around Magaluf, however, if you do decide to rent a car you’ll be richly rewarded. Just west of the resort are some fabulous beaches such as Portals Vells. Further afield you can head over to the quaint beachside hamlet of Sant Elm on the island’s south west tip overlooking the island of Dragonera for a paella lunch at one of the beachside cafés. Or drive up to Sollersouth west coast to discover the real beauty of this magnificent island.
