The biggest of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca and its capital Palma de Mallorca are steeped in over two thousand years of history and exquisite culture. None of that, however, will be found in the Mallorcan town of Magaluf – located approximately 24km, or 15 miles from the island’s airport in Palma.

No, Magaluf is a hardcore party town aimed at the young 18-30 contingent. The make-up of the accommodation in the town also caters to this demographic on the most part. Here, we will explore more about the prices and type of villas you will find in Magaluf.

Prices, Villas Mallorca – Magaluf

In general, villas on the island can be quite expensive but in Magaluf prices of as little as £60 per night for 3 bedroom accommodation, which sleeps up to 7 is common. This allows for lots of university students and school-leavers to afford staying in apartments with friends.

Better quality villas are on offer for those with slightly deeper pockets. A beachfront apartment with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom can set you back a reasonable £385 per week. The suite is still quite humble in decor but you do have your privacy and there is nice swimming pool to share with just a handful of other villas.

Villas Mallorca – Luxury High-End, Magaluf

Magaluf villas and accommodation for the real high-end market are quite difficult to find online as the destination really does cater for the sub-set looking for a cheap booze-fuelled sunshine break. However, some digging and enquiring with your tour operator with unearth some gems!

Villas Mallorca – Magaluf Bar Scene

Magaluf is about the nightlife and the beach – not the villa! Night revellers certainly won’t be disappointed with Magaluf’s main bar street, known as Punta Ballena. It is home to absolute feast of bars and the mega-club BCM – you won’t escape without a hangover at some point!

Punta Ballena bars have crazy drinks offers on cocktails, spirits and beers of all kinds. Your money will go a long way here – but it WILL go!

Villas Mallorca – Magaluf Daytime Fun

Depending upon your villa accommodation you may decide to spend your days nursing a hangover beside the pool or down at the beach.

For the adrenalin junkie you will find plenty of action in terms of water-sports. Banana boat rides, jet-skis, parasailing and more are all on offer down at the beach.

For the shopaholics? Well, yes Magaluf itself does fall a little short in this regard if you are looking to do some serious designer spending. However, never fear – the island’s capital is only a 20 minute bus ride away and there you will find all the top fashion houses from Milan, New York, Paris and London.

Again, Magaluf is really catered for the 18-30 crowd. Please don’t expect villas with designer interiors and, beautiful swimming pools and a quiet night’s sleep. For that, there are plenty of other resorts on the island of Mallorca so make sure you do your research before you travel!
