Majorca is an island for everyone: families, young people, sports lovers and luxury seekers all find a huge range of things to do.
Nightlife
- Palma: the Llotja and Santa Catalina districts, with bars, cocktail bars and live music; the Paseo Marítimo, with clubs, and rooftop terraces on central hotels (see Palma).
- Platja de Palma and S'Arenal, famous for big venues popular with German tourists.
- Magaluf, in Calvià, known for youth nightlife; in recent years the council has tried to curb excesses with new rules.
- Luxury beach clubs in Portals, Illetes and Port d'Andratx, and the elegant marinas of Puerto Portals and Port d'Andratx (see Andratx).
Sea and boats
Boat and catamaran trips leave from Palma, Port de Sóller, Port d'Alcúdia, Cala d'Or and Porto Cristo for coves reachable only by sea, with swimming stops. You can hire boats with or without a licence, kayaks and paddleboards, dive and snorkel. Water sports such as sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing are popular in Pollença bay and Alcúdia.
For families
