Business Information -- Paguera
Paguera also known s Peguera in the South West of Mallorca is certainly one of the busiest resorts and many bars and restaurants have the benefit of a longer season than normal.
There are a selection of bars for sale in this area including several British bars, as this area has a large concentration of German tourists and residents German themed bars are always popular.
Many of the British run bars are in the side streets off the main tourist street. Occasionally we come across larger businesses for sale on the main street, but these tend to sell quickly and it can be a matter of who not what you know.
Currently there are several businesses for sale on agency websites and several more for private sale. Varying from cafe type establishments to late night music bars.

Resort Information -- Paguera
The resort of Paguera, along with the neighbouring resorts of Palma Nova, Magaluf and Santa Ponsa, are all part of the municipal district of Calvia on the south west coast of Majorca.
Paguera is often unkindly referred to as “Little Germany” by many of the English speaking residents on the south coast. But in all fairness, the resort is very popular with the German tourist who do make up the vast majority of visitors here, many of which are attracted by the small network of coastal hiking routes towards the back of the resort.
The resort offers visitors a choice of 3 beaches, called “Playa Palmira”, “Playa Tora” and “Playa La Romana”, which are all joined by a fairly new pedestrian promenade. During the summer months all 3 beaches can become very busy, although in all fairness to the local council, they are usually kept very clean.
Behind the promenade there’s a long shopping street running the length of the resort, where most of the restaurants and bars seem to be concentrated. Despite the majority of visitors to Paguera being German, there is also a small number of British owned bars and restaurants along this street, which we’ll cover in more detail on our Restaurants and Bars pages.
Before the growth of the tourist industry on the island during the 1960′s, Paguera was originally a tiny fishing village, however, the last 40 years has seen it develop and grow, into a popular modern tourist resort with plenty of restaurants and facilities.
Whilst not quite in the same league as the neighbouring resorts of Palma Nova and Magaluf, Paguera is certainly not the resort for those seeking peace and quiet. If this is what you are looking for along the south coast, then perhaps the nearby resort Camp de Mar may be more suitable. Although in all fairness, from the end of October onwards, when most of the families leave the island, many of the hotels do close until Easter of the following year, and the few visitors that do remain see a completely different side of Paguera.
Most of the hotels in the town are found towards the back on the resort in quite a hilly area. Whilst this affords most visitors a good view back over the town, it does make Paguera particularly unsuitable for those with mobility problems, or families with young children in pushchairs.
One particular problem we did encountered in the town, was the sheer volume of traffic and the limited parking spaces available. In recent times this has been eased slightly with the construction of a bypass, which does take some through traffic away from the town, but nevertheless, there still appears to be a constant game of “musical chairs” going on, competing for the few parking spaces that are available.
All things considered Paguera gives the impression as being a busy, lively resort that always has something going on. Somewhat of a German “oasis” amongst the other Brit dominated south coast resorts.
