Rivalling even the red-hot Ibiza nightspots, Majorca’s amazing selection of clubs, pubs and bars include many of the trendiest in the whole of the Mediterranean. The island’s capital, Palma de Mallorca, has a reputation as one of the funkiest towns anywhere on the European tourist trail, the place to see and be seen when the sun goes down and the night lights up! With literally hundreds of night spots, Palma attracts international bands, famous DJs and solo stars to huge venues holding thousands of revellers, with the rest of the island’s resorts including Magaluf and El Arenal not far behind.

Palma’s Pacha Mallorca is a landmark favourite with its 3,000sq m of space set on three floors, each featuring areas defined by dining and music options, all packed in the high season. Retro rock and roll, Elvis and Stones standards and memorabilia define Atlantico, a must for fans of the iconic period, and dressing to impress is mandatory at Tito’s, a major player in Palma’s all-night scene, famous for following the latest sounds trends. For a seriously retro evening and a rare experience on the island, trendy Abaco’s candlelit décor features bizarre artwork and classical music.

Magaluf is heaven for the wild crowd in high summer, with the massive BCM Planet Dance holding up to 5,000 clubbers every night and grabbing the hottest DJs and bands. A mega-decibel sound system and laser light shows complete the picture, with weekenders as well as longer stay visitors arriving just for this club. The classiest lap-dance club in Megaluf is undoubtedly Honey’s, set on the strip, and right in the heart of the clubs is Pachas Pub, with its live music, great parties and screens showing all current live sporting events. For house and dance fans eager to get their clubbing fix while on holiday in Majorca, Bananas is number one choice.

Medieval Alcudia is home to Europe’s largest beach resort, the Hotetur Bellevue, and offers a wide choice of pubs, bars and clubs, many with English themes. Canny Lad is the Geordie version, with live sports TVs, adult comedy videos and Newcastle Brown Ale, and Bells Disco has a Spanish feel and hot music. Many of the clubs and bars serve tapas as well as spirits, beers and cocktails, with Festas Bar specialising in secret vodka recipes. Stylish Menta is the biggest club here, with seven bars, live music and a pool, all set within its unique Roman temple design.

El Arenal is favoured by German holidaymakers and has a great selection of German-themed beer halls and clubs. Oberbayern is one of the most popular for its German folksongs and karaoke as well as its entertainment programmes and beauty contests, and Club 471 is a laid-back alternative to Riu Palace with its hip-hop, R&B and huge dance floor. The beach promenade hosts endless bars, eateries and small live music venues, with beach parties a great way to finish off the night as the sun rises. All of the island’s secondary resorts feature vibrant nightlife venues on a smaller but no less lively scale.
