Where to party in Mallorca

If you are one of those who don’t go to sleep with the sun and even less so when you are on holiday, Mallorca is the perfect island for you. From sunset to sunrise, some areas of the island are completely transformed so that you can experience one of the best nights of your life. These are the best places to party on the island of Mallorca.

Palma de Mallorca

After a day at the beach, we recommend that you visit Palma de Mallorca, the island’s capital, and have a nice ice-cream before getting ready to party. The truth is that this city is where you will find the majority of nightlife venues, and you will be able to find the one that best suits you, whether you want to have a quiet drink or dance the night away.

Magaluf

Magaluf is the best place to party in Mallorca. It is an area with incredible fine sandy beaches, perfect for a relaxing day of sunbathing. However, this area is best known for its parties. This is where all the foreigners come out, especially the British crowd and you will find many beach clubs that transform into discos with swimming pools at night. 

Some of the best venues in Magaluf are BCM Planet Dance and Oceans Beach Club Magaluf.

S’Arenal and Can Pastilla

These are two areas of Mallorca where you will find almost nothing but young people looking for a good time. Here you will find many restaurants, bars and discos to choose from for a night out. Some nightclubs are decorated in the purest German style, as most of the foreigners you will find here are of German nationality.

Some of the best clubs in S’Arenal and Can Pastilla are Lunita Can Pastilla and Purobeach Club Palma.

The best party areas in Palma de Mallorca

The nightlife that Palma de Mallorca offers is as inexhaustible as your desire to party. That’s why the best places range from macro discos with renowned DJs to the most selective clubs where you can have a delicious cocktail. Here are the areas most popular with travellers. Which one will you choose?

Promenade

Palma’s Passeing Marítim, or Promenade, is a classic area to party in Mallorca and there are many places where you can enjoy a night out. One of our recommendations is the Irish pub Hogan’s Live Music, Sports Bar & Restaurant or the Shamrock, where you can listen to live music. These are good places to start the night.

La Llotja neighbourhood

The Llotja neighbourhood is one of the best places to go out in Palma de Mallorca. It is located in the historic centre and is where fish was sold in the 15th century. In its beautiful and narrow medieval streets, you will find many places where you can have your first drinks: Ábaco bar, Blue Jazz Club, Ombu Tapas & Cocktails, etc.

Santa Catalina

Around Carrer Fàbrica there are small bars and discos where the over 35s tend to gather, away from the more adolescent crowd. There are several places that stand out: the Son Castello estate, Es Gremi, Dekapolis and Can Valero.
