Beach Holidays in Magaluf

Like to be beside the seaside? When it comes to beaches, the main event is Playa de Magaluf. This dreamy bay would look right at home on the shores of a Caribbean island; the soft sand and clear water here are practically tropical. The relatively calm sea in this protected part of Majorca’s coast makes it a great place to swim. The sea temperature is at its balmiest between June and September, but swimming outside this timeframe is common too. There’s even a gently shelving swimming area marked out by colourful buoys to suit everyone from confident front-crawlers to hesitant toe-dippers. Fringed with palm trees and looking out over the Mediterranean Sea towards the Isla de sa Porrassa and beyond, there’s a reason why sun seekers return to Magaluf year after year – and the beauty of this beach is a huge part of it.

Magaluf Beach is a sandy crescent that stretches for 2km. The water is high-quality and clean, and there’s a great range of beachside facilities too. Sun loungers and parasols are available for a local fee if you fancy spending the day relaxing. These are great for soaking up the sun or cooling off in the shade with a book. You’ll find toilets and showers nearby to keep you feeling refreshed too. If living your best holiday life proves thirsty work, there are plenty of bars within metres of the beach. There are also lots of places to eat, ranging from laid-back cafes to upscale eateries. Like to add some thrills to your beach break? Try your hand at water skiing, scuba diving, jet skiing, wind surfing, stand-up paddle boarding and more – you’ll find diving and watersports centres dotted along the beach.

Food and Drink in Magaluf

Majorca is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, so lots of the recipes in Magaluf use fresh, locally-sourced fish. Sea bream and monkfish are common, tasty menu staples, often served with seasonal vegetables in aromatic tomato or deliciously creamy sauces. When the weather’s as hot as it is on this island, the Spanish tradition of tapas really comes into its own. These bite-sized dishes often go down more easily than a heavy meal, especially at lunch time, and they’re great for sampling loads of different flavours. Well-known favourites like garlic mushrooms, patatas bravas and calamari are often found alongside Majorcan specialties such as lomo con col (pork wrapped in cabbage leaves) and sobrasada (spicy sausage). We recommend trying everything once!

Fancy a teatime tipple? It’s got to be a glass of herbes de Mallorca – a fragrant liqueur made from herbs. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, then try the prettily-patterned ensaimada – a Majorcan spiral-shaped pastry that’s often filled with cream. You’ll find plenty of bars and restaurants along the promenade of Magaluf Beach. There are also places to eat, drink and be merry further in-land and in the nearby resort of Torrenova. Want to dance until the sun comes up? Head to Puenta Baena – the Magaluf Strip – for the best bars, clubs and party atmosphere in town.
