Living here

Magaluf is the big beach resort at the western end of the Bay of Palma, in the municipality of Calvià, about 20 to 25 minutes from Palma. Best known for its nightlife, it also has a long sandy beach, a rebuilt seafront and around 5,500 registered residents. The right buyer wants a seaside apartment near the city and can put up with a loud summer.

Magaluf has Palmanova to the east and Sol de Mallorca to the south-west, with the Ma-1 motorway running inland behind it. The resort was built on the old Cas Saboners estate and partly on former wetland. The first hotel went up on the seafront in 1959. From the 1960s, mass tourism, much of it young British holidaymakers, made it one of the island’s best-known resorts. Rows of hotel and apartment towers still shape the skyline. The beach is about 1.6 kilometres of fine white sand facing the small islet of sa Porrassa, and Son Maties beach lies just beyond it on the Palmanova side.

Nightlife is concentrated on and around Punta Ballena, a street of bars and clubs close to the beach. Since 2020, Balearic rules against excess tourism have applied there, banning happy hours, open bars and organised pub crawls, and stopping shops from selling alcohol between 9.30pm and 8am. The resort has been changing too. In 2012 a major hotel group reopened four upgraded beachfront hotels as a first step in modernising the resort, and a large share of the hotels are now four- or five-star. Avinguda de Magaluf was made pedestrian in 2018, and in 2026 the council finished rebuilding the seafront promenade, named after the hotelier Gabriel Escarrer Juliá.

Away from the strip, Magaluf works as a small town. It has a state primary school, CEIP Cas Saboners, with a municipal nursery next door, a public library and cultural centre, a municipal sports centre, Calvià’s athletics track, a tourist office and plenty of supermarkets. The Sa Porrassa campus of Baleares International College, on the edge of the resort, offers a British-style education from primary school to A level. A state secondary school, IES Son Ferrer, is in neighbouring Son Ferrer, and the nearest public health centre is in Palmanova, about five to ten minutes by car.

Summer is loud and crowded, above all in July and August. In winter the resort is far quieter, as many hotels close for the season, but its residents stay. TIB bus line 104 runs between Magaluf and Palma, line 105 links Palma with Sol de Mallorca through Magaluf, and the A11 stops here on its way to the airport. Evening craft stalls and street performers appear daily through the season, from May to October. Of the weekly markets on the council’s list, the nearest are in Son Ferrer on Fridays and Santa Ponsa on Saturdays.

Who buys here

Magaluf has a year-round population of its own alongside the summer crowds, and its holiday trade is strongly British. Since much of the housing is apartments, buyers are usually after a flat near the beach within easy reach of Palma and the airport, either to live in or to use for part of the year.

Property

Much of the housing here is apartments, often in medium- and high-rise blocks built from the 1960s onwards among the hotels. Standards vary from block to block, so look closely at the building and its upkeep as well as the flat. As part of a wider effort to reduce density in the busiest tourist areas, the council plans to demolish a row of disused commercial premises in Torrenova, at the Palmanova end, for a car park and public space. Holiday-rental licences are tightly controlled in Calvià, so check a flat’s licence status before buying to let. If you want a house with a garden, look at the quieter areas nearby.

Pros and cons

For

  • British international school at Sa Porrassa, on the edge of town

Questions buyers ask

Is Magaluf still a party resort?

In summer, around Punta Ballena, yes. Since 2020 Balearic rules have banned happy hours, open bars, organised pub crawls and late-night alcohol sales in shops there, and the hotels and seafront have been upgraded. How far you live from the strip makes a big difference to noise.

Can you live in Magaluf all year?

Yes. About 5,500 people are registered as residents, and the primary school, library and sports centre serve them all year. Expect a very different place in winter, though: many hotels close for the season and the resort goes quiet.

Is Magaluf part of Palma?

No. It is in the municipality of Calvià, whose town hall is in the inland village of Calvià Vila, so Calvià handles planning, local taxes and the residents' register (padrón). It is about 16 kilometres by road from Palma cathedral.

Can I get to Palma and the airport by bus?

Yes. TIB line 104 runs between Magaluf and Palma’s intermodal station, line 105 links Palma and Sol de Mallorca through Magaluf, and the A11 airport bus stops in Magaluf on its route from Camp de Mar. Timetables vary, so check them on tib.org.

What about schools and doctors?

CEIP Cas Saboners, a state primary, is in Magaluf, and Baleares International College’s Sa Porrassa campus offers a British-style education through to A level. IES Son Ferrer, a state secondary, is next door in Son Ferrer. The nearest public health centre is in Palmanova, about five to ten minutes by car, and Son Espases hospital is about 20 minutes away.
