Magaluf

Location

Magaluf is one of the largest resorts in the municipal district of Calvia, on the south west coast of Mallorca. It is around 15km from Palma.

Description

Magaluf caters principally for the British and Scandinavian holiday maker, particularly those looking for some lively entertainment!

Although packed out with tourists in the summer months, the resident population of Magaluf drops to under 200 during the months from November to March, as many of the more popular facilities tend to close during this time.  Many quieter cafes and restaurants do remain open, however.

In the 1980s, Magaluf developed a poor reputation for binge drinkers and misbehaving clubbers.  However, in recent years, significant effort has been made in an attempt to clean the town up and make it more family-friendly.

Apart from the nightclubs, there are many other forms of entertainment here including waterparks, horse riding and water sports. There is also a good sandy beach which is kept very clean.

Property for sale in Magaluf

It goes without saying that Magaluf in the summer months should probably be avoided, the town becoming much more sedate and relaxed off-season.  However, buying a property in Magaluf would make an excellent investment opportunity, should you wish to rent it out for family holidays.  Property prices are still holding their own here, with a five bedroom villa on the outskirts of Magaluf likely to reach prices in excess of €1m.
