From crowded bars to top-rated clubs, the nightlife in Magaluf is like no other.

Love it or hate it, you can’t ignore it! Nightlife in Magaluf is infamous and the town is the party capital of Majorca.

The most famous club in Magaluf is BCM Planet Dance, one of the largest clubs in Europe, is a must-visit for all clubbers. With a capacity of 5,000 people, BCM offers multiple rooms, each with its own unique style and sound system. The club has consistently been voted in the top 10 nightclubs in the world by DJ Mag.

Nightclubs

Other nightclubs in Magaluf include Boomerang, Tokio Joes, Bananas & Car Wash, which are all part of the Magaluf Club Pass (MCP). Also included in the MCP is one strip club. The pass allows you entry into all 5 venues on the same night for the price of 1 club ticket. It is a great way to enjoy nightlife in Magaluf on a budget.

Bars

When it comes to bars, there is a lot of choice in Magaluf and it is not our intention to list them all here, instead we highlight a few bars that we believe should not be missed.

Stereo Bar adds a modern twist to Magaluf with a large outdoor seating area. Its either the first bar on the Strip if you’re going uphill or the last! With live DJs & live sports, Stereo is a good place to start or finish your night.

A big favourite in Magaluf is Eastenders Bar, it is not on the Strip but not far away and is the place to go to watch football. If you fancy yourself as a singer, Eastenders Bar also host karaoke. Sunday lunch at Eastenders is legendary

Off the strip

If you fancy a night off the Magaluf strip, or before heading to BCM, then Panama Jacks is a great venue, it is located opposite BCM Planet Dance and is always very busy.

A big favourite among tourists is Crystals Bar at the bottom of the Strip, the VIP Booths here are excellent, and the DJs play chart music until 4am.

For Shisha or for football on giant screens, head to Linekers Bar or if you want drinking games and party music, head to the Red Lion.

Early starters and day drinkers will feel at home in Mulligans or Jack Daniels.

Shows

For something different and a break from the Strip, we recommend the Pirates Adventure Show which for over 30 years, has dazzled over 3 million spectators with a non-stop, swashbuckling show packed with acrobatics, dancing, gymnastics and visual effects that rivals Cirque du Soleil.

There is an 18+ version of the show called Pirates Reloaded or at the same venue, you could try out Gringos Bingo, this is bingo but not as you know it! It is the ultimate night out for adults of all ages. Expect chaos, raves, dance-offs, funny prizes and big prizes!

See all shows in Mallorca.

In conclusion, the nightlife in Magaluf is unrivaled. Whether you're looking for a wild night of clubbing, a relaxing evening in a bar, or a cultural experience, Magaluf has something for everyone. So, pack your bags, grab your friends and get ready for an unforgettable nightlife experience in Magaluf!
