Due to the huge numbers of British tourists that come to Magaluf every year and a large number of English style pubs have now opened to target this market, along with clubs and discos which in the summer rarely close before dawn. Palma Nova is however, very marginally the quieter resort, and therefore is perhaps more suited to families. Magaluf is where you will find the world famous BCM nightclub too!
From October to around Easter the next year, Magaluf does go through somewhat of a personality change along with its nightlife. As families and the young groups of party goers' begin to leave the island, Magaluf and Palma Nova are then marketed very strongly towards middle aged couples and others who want to take advantage of winter sunshine holidays. Although many of the cafes and restaurants do remain open, the more lively music bars and nightclubs that you associate with the area, close during the week, and only open again at weekends in response to the small number of stag and hen parties that invade the town.
