Welcome to Mallorca / Majorca Nightlife
The nightlife in Majorca / Mallorca completely depends upon which resort you choose as it varies greatly. The southern resorts on the island tend to be the livelier ones, these resorts have a wide selection of bars and discos. The northern resorts are a lot quieter in comparison and the main nightlife is centered around bars and restaurants, where you can sit for hours watching the world go by after a lovely meal.
There are lots of places for you to choose from to eat and drink throughout the island from cafés, bars, take-aways to restaurants. The majority of places tend to be steered towards international food. You can find the local cuisine in the smaller restaurants in the inland villages. There are plenty of wines and liqueurs that are widely available, with a large variety of imported alcoholic and soft drinks.
Nightlife in the south of Majorca / Mallorca in the busy, popular tourist resorts of Magaluf and Palma Nova and likened to Blackpool with sun! There are a huge numbers of British tourist 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!
One of the most popular evening attractions in the south of the island, for all ages and all Nationalities - is the Pirates Adventure (Els Pirates), which is based on the outskirts of Magaluf. It takes the form of a Dinner/Show with a pirate theme, and has short dialogues in English throughout. They are open 8pm to midnight from April through to October, every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Sunday is reserved for an adults only show!

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.
Palma is packed with bars and dance clubs. Yes, there are some fun hangouts along the island's northern tier, but for a rocking, laser- and strobe-lit club, you'll have to boogie in Palma. Although Palma is lively it is a lot more civilised than the resort of Magaluf. In Palma you will find many wonderful restaurants that are more traditional to the island rather than being directly aimed at tourists! Plus in the capital you will find many brilliant bars, of all varieties from fun entertainment bars with bands, karaoke, sport etc to bars that you can just chill and watch the world go by. Again you will also find the more Spanish bars in this area too. Then there are the many clubs that play all sorts of music like that of salsa, RnB, pop, dance, funky house etc. Palma also plays host to a few casino's which are great fun for a night out to make a change!
Around the north of the island in the resorts there, it is still lively but perhaps more suited to families, the older generation or couples as here you will find the bars that have the traditional tourist entertainment karaoke, live bands, stand up comedians etc also quieter bars along the seafront or leading onto lovely squares where you can sit outside until the early hours. In this area you will also find a large variety of restaurants, traditional to International cuisine.
