Magaluf....its amazing! For a good night out start in Down Under, an amazing bar with wicked barmen and so many free drinks and its right next door to BCM. you can also go to the coyote ugly bar next door to do some dancing on the bar! Then go to BCM and if the beat boxer is in there he is Amazing!! Then finish the night in Panama Jacks for loads of dancing drinking and going crazy!And when your on the beach go to Daiquiri palace for frozen cocktails there really good!

Alice from Shrewsbury
Ahh just back from 7 days in Magaluf with 8 other girls, we had suchh a blast! I definitely recommend Mulligans and we loved Down Under in BCM square too, but i would say watch out for those pesky tabard PR people, we developed SO many techniques for getting rid of them haha including serenading them into a confused silence... Ohh also Alex's indie bar and erm the Office was nice tooo - wherever you go will be ace though! xxx

I have been to magaluf 2 times this year, once for a week in march and loved it so i went back 2 weeks later and was out there for 2 months, i miss it so much an all the people...i worked at the ledgendary coyote ugly bar, bobbys taven and down under on BCM square, just givin a massive shout out to everyone hu works there especailly jonny 9, aaron, mars, johnson, sally and toni..will be back in a month and a half...cant wait to try and swim to island again lmao..p.s was awesome on the radio

Curly
Just got back from Magaluf yesterday (14/07/07) stayed at the Sol Jamaica, good basic hotel, was at BCM for a foam party and a water party, the water party was great, but the foam party was better, got right in the middle and wuz swamped by the foam, tasted baaad but didn't spoil a brill night. BCM square is great to see ppl getting chucked off a rodeo bull and for 40 euros you can get a pillar of cocktail to share. Hope to be going back next year to see how many of the BCM freebies we can get.

katie

Tasha Dunn
Just got back from magaluf, had a wicked time. Gutted to be back as the day we was leaving (friday 13th) we found out radio 1 was gunna be there 4 the weekend :( best club by far is bcm the water party is excellent, its not just little sprinkers its full on hoses, you get soaked!!! Another good bar is the red lion along the main strip. watch out for your free shots, my advice - get sambucca, its the only shot that pure alcohol, we had shots in the aussie bar and it was orange juice!! also coyote uglys is excellent for all the girls who wanna get up on the bar and dance. and maccy ds is open all night, great if you're like us and get the munchies at 5am!!

Matthew Hackett
ive been going to mallorca for 17 years now so every year since ive been born and it is amazin fun! if you ever get time to go sumwhere different, take a taxi to santa ponca and have a day there, it is amazing!!! and if you need food..walk along to palma nova and go to the chinease buffet half way along the beach..it is amazing!! im coming out on monday for 3 weeks so hopefully you will still all be there!

Lorna
Go to Santa Ponsa near Magaluf!!! Make sure you stop off at Simply's, Green Hills, Disco Inferno, Made In Italy for food and KMS at 6 when everywhere else is finished!!

Gavin Mountford
We went last year for the Radio 1 BCM square party!!!was amazin!!the funniest thing we did was renting mopeds out and going down random roads untill after a while we hit the motorway and went straight to Palma on some 50cc peds, was very scary at the time, the spanards werent very impresssed with us either!!!!

dave
been to magaluf and palmannova for the past two years running, lovin the retro next to bora bora for the old house classics. for a cracking place during the day is a restaurant/bar called katies on son maties beach. really good food, crazy staff and place crackin hed kandi music all day, should really check it out!!

graeme 'mylesy' myles
gotta go to coyote ugly, the dj is a legend- he gave a shout out to me n my mates every night we were in.. all the girls get on the bar to pole dance, you get shots poured straight in to your mouth from the sexy bar ladies.. oh and dont ask for water cause u will get drenched.. seriouly!:P

Lizzie Atkinson
We've just got back from Magaluf, Absolutley gutted to be home already planning next year. Alex's Indie Bar deffinatley a spot for good looking guys!

DJ Emma
Having worked out in Mallorca some years ago i cannot rate the island enough. I was up in Alcudia and could not ask for a better resort! Top Tip:- Dannys (if it is still there) The best nachos EVER!!! and the best beach. Magaluf is mental. Watch out for the pub scouts! Have an awesome time x

Jules
Been out to Magaluf a couple of times so far this year!! Going again in August. You gotta go to ROCKERHUNNYS for a bit of karaoke! They've got the biggest song choice and they've all fab in there!

Aimie Kennedy
I go magaluf every year- and I avsolutely love it! its mad!! the beach is gorgus and the clubs are just amazin! My favorite by FAR is BCM, u pay like 15-20 quid and u get free drinks all night. Thers 3 floors, the top one has like pool tables, the 2nd floor is massive and is dedicated to dance music- thers such an amazin laser show , u look up and it actually looks like a sky with clouds above ur hed for a few seconds! the bottom floor is my favrit tho, rnb n good music to dance to, hot guys in sarongs hu pull u up on the bars and dance with u, once one guy shook up a cocktail tied in into his sarong and lay on his front and poured in in sum glasses for us- now thats skill!!newway if ive ne advice for u its, hav fun, b safe and DNT take part in the wet t-shirt competition unless u plan on havin a cold for the rest of your holiday!! haha! not fun trust me! neway im goin this sunday - wooo! excittted! xxx

scott williams
just got back today from 10 days in magaluf, what a holiday! the best night was the popcorn party in BCM, but my mates said the foam party in legends is the best! if your going down the strip make sure you get the free shots and jugs your told your getting! bar 29 was quite good but watch out for the geordie fella trying to tell you its his first night and needs to get 15 people in! coyote ugly is a great bar aswel. ace holiday!

Aaron Higgins
just got back from magaluf.. there's a beat boxer in bcm and if you get chance to go.. do it.. he is unbelievable.. also bonkers bar is great for old school dance tunes.. dont miss coyote ugly bar either.. watch the girls slappin lads butts with a belt!!!

John R
If you're after a night of cheesy 80's, 90's and Europop hits try Manos Place on Carrer de Porassa in Magalluf. It's just off the the main roundabout near to the Majorca Beach Hotel and directly ooposite the Guadalupe Hotel

Lucy

Mulligans is a favourite of mine, cool people having a good time and in the unlikely event you wake up without a hangover one day, check out the Spinout Jetboat. Awesome ride round the coves by Magaluf & Palma Nova.

Charley

Sally Wilson
MAGALUF MAGALUF MAGALUF!!! We went last year and stayed at the Julgla (everyone stays there it's amazing!) We loved it so much that we are going back again at the end of August. Our favourite bar is LENNONS!!! Get them to play Mel and Kim Respectable!!!! and also you can't miss PIRATES when you're there, it's incredible!!! The best club is BCM obviously but if you go in the foam party be prepared to lose your shoes and also if you get it in your face there's a possiblity you will be sick on your feet! (like I was!) Also note to all.... stay out of the fountains outside BCM! much love ... x x x x

The cumbria gals

Debby King
BCM Foam Party is absolutely crazy! If it's on this weekend it's well worth a visit! The popcorn party is always a good laugh. Hope to see Scott there, we're flying out for a long weekend on Saturday! My hen party ;o) 5 laydees from Lincolnshire! We can't wait! xx

kirsty mason
Last year we all went opposite BCM's to Panama Jacks.The dj in there is wicked!It was the first bar ever where I heard the tune "put your hands up for detroit"It really reminds me of summer 07.Will be back again in...

Chloe from Cumbria
Went to Magaluf last year with 7 mates, and going again in two weeks to misbehave before catching the ferry to Ibiza for a week! BCMs water party is a must, as well as a cheesy couple of hours in Chaplins bar, mid way up the hill. For a good meal, try the restaurants on the beach as if heading to Palma Nova-'Gecko' serves up some fantastic grub X

Sara Hawthorne
this will be my 4yr in magaluf me and the lasses are heading out there on the 4th Aug! last yr i ended up on crutches for the last 10 days of the holiday i have neva had so many fire mans lifts up and down stairs in my life still made the most of it! BCM's pop corn, water and foam party's r unforgettable! check out chaplins bar half way down the strip!

MITCH MCLENNON
ALCUDIA ALL THE WAY!!! BEST PLACE TO BE. GET URSELVES DOWN TO CAN PICAFORT FOR AN AWESOME BEACH PARTY! WE LIVE THERE, COME TO OUR HOUSE!!!

Cath, London
Be careful at the foam party at BCM - my friend broke her rib there. She didn't even realise til the next day when she jumped in the pool and nearly drowned....

nicola airey
just come back from magaluf, you have to go to alex's bar on the strip, theres the indie bar on one side and the rnb bar on the other side. for clubbing go to bcm, saw judge jules playing there last week...just amazing.

Stacey Richardson
I was in Magaluf this time last year with 8 girls it was amazing.It is a place that never sleeps, I recomend BCM's foam party but make sure you dont wear your best cloths just take advantage of BCM's freebees!

Anon
In BCM Square in Bobby's Tavern there is (or at least used to be (hope they're still about!!))a band called The Raggle Taggle Gypsies. They are FANTASTIC! A must see!Gorgeous restaurant close by in Palma Nova called Seymours. Fantastic bermudan/norweigan food and great staff.

becky broome
i work out here this year, get yourselves to legends on the magaluf strip its a pure and utter cheese fest! its rockin! try panama jacks on saturday night its opposite bcm, open till 6 and plays evey type of music! woo yeah!

Alicia Brown
I went to Magaluf just 3 weeks ago and had the time of my life! The beaches are gorgeous and BCM is an ace night out with themed parties and loads of free goodies! I want to go back :-(

Helen Emmerson
went to Magalluf last year and it was the best holiday ever! Boomerangs is great and Tokyo Joes, but BCM is amazing!!! the beach is pretty nice during the day aswell, but the best time is between 2am and about 6am up the strip, its great!!!

Mel Crossley
Best beaches, Playa de Mago (just outside Magalluf) its secluded has a nude section and is gorgeous. Aqua waters white sand and expensive yachts come to play.Es trenc beach is unspoilt white sands on the east coast. Oh and go into Pacha at the top of the strip Punta Ballena down to left and try their famous "parrott" drink. You wont remember your own name in minutes after sip of that ! I used to work In Magalluf and its mad. Big shout out for Pirates Adventure and Phil richie, aaron and the gang in there - you must go especially on the uncut version for party people. Brill Night. (Mel from Lancs)

Scott Wells
There is nothing better than after I night out than walking back to the Hotel down the beach and skinny dipping the best hangover cure there is

James Warhurst
Ive lived in Mallorca for 4 years now, and never get bored its in possible, excellent food beautiful capital city of Palma and best of all the nightlife, Magaluf can get very messy, best night spots this season are Retro at Bora Bora on every Tuesday, Players Lounge is a chilled out bar just off the strip which is good to start in, and Le Cafe has to be the place to finish it gets messy in there (the freaks Come out!)BCM have had some pretty good nights on over the year as well JFK, Scott Bond, Tall Paul, Allister Whitehead,Dan Ghenacia, Josh Wink the list goes on. Enjoy See ya There!!!!

Claire McDonald
Magaluf was my first experience of a holiday abroad 8 years ago. It was a really fun place (from what I remember!). I remember a club called Carwash which was fab - not sure if it will still exist though?

Brittany
BCM is amazing! As is BCM square with Baywatch and Coyote Ugly. But some good warm up bars are Chaplins (Which has a dj not too disimilar to Chris Moyles), the Daquari Palace on the beach, Icon and Revolution. I came back from Magaluf about a week ago and can't wait to go again! it was fantastic!

lauren and the magaluf girls!
you've got to go to magaluf, we're also goin on the 14th! see u there hopefully! oh yep, bcm is supposed to be amazin n alex's indie bar!!!! Maga here we come!

Nigel Lockley
Try Puerto Portals for great restaurants and £million yatchs, it is located 9 Kms by motorway from the centre of Palma heading towards magaluf. For a great beach try Es Trenc One of the most beautiful beaches on Mallorca , with more than three kilometres of white thin sand. Head for Sa Rapita". Just before reaching this sea-resort follow the sign "Ses Covetes" or "Es Trenc. I am out in Mallorca from the 17th - 27th July see you there!!!

Peter Crossen (DJ Pete The Bomber)
Come to cala dór!!I currently DJ in the Ultimate Entertainment Venue that is Yates´s in the Square in Cala dór! we also have the Beach bar which is party central and The funky monkey!! Its the most obscene party complex in the whole of Mallorca and when we close up you can head downstairs to the one and only Sound Republic,last week we had Des Mitchell and this week we have kiko navaro resident DJ from pacha!! We also have seven of the best beaches in mallorca right on our doorstep so come down and check us out for some amazing summer nights

J
Venture to cap falco for great cliff diving, a beautiful tiny beach and secluded tanning spots. Or Puro Beach club for day to evening poolside yoga, cocktails and all night partying

Amanda Hibbitt
I am living in Mallorca and have been for the past 5 years. Mallorca has become very cosmopolitan and the cool, hip, chill out vibes bars are.... Puro Beach, Mood ( Puerto Portals ) Virtual Club ( Illetas ). For Rich and Richer head to Puerto Portals. For British fun and crazy, head for Magaluf. For bars, clubs and varied night life stay on the Paseo Maritimo.... Hope to see you somewhere..

Laura
Hiya!! Me n my 3 friends landed back form Magaluf a week ago today!! Best places to go, out favourite bar this year and last year is "downunder" (in BCM square). In fact anywhere in BCM square is good!! We went to BCM's water and foam party which were both brilliant, def worth a try!! have fun xxx

Leah Faulkner
I went to Magaluf 4 years ago. It was amazing then, so I'm glad to say going back this Friday for a week and will be heading to BCM's for the foam party's which are awesome.

Anthony Emery
Noooo - spend the night in the BCM square and capture the crowd! I believe your friend mr dave pearce is performing at bcm on sat 14th july!

Chris Davey
For an ultimate chill out experience by the beach try out DAIQUIRI PALACE its near pizza hut and Linikers Bar, once you've kicked back and had the frozen cocktails you will be there all day. And for the pre club bar Check out LUSH its at the top of the hill near boomerangs and plays out soulful/funky house.

Mark Pocock
Worked out there last year.... definatley get into Alex's Indie Bar - great music and hot barmaids! Tokyo Joes great and is part of MCP so you can pay to go in one and try all the others that noght for free. Indie night used to be my favourite night in Boomerangs - loads of workers go there and its a top night! La Cafe - open 6am till late. Great for a club chicken sarnie when the clubs kick out. Also recommend the swedish resturant near the top of the strip, underneath Slingshot (which is also great!) . Serves a great fillet steak on the BBQ until 7am.

Dave Holmes
My 16 yr old daughter Jess and a gang of 5 of her mates (having just finished their GCSE's) have gone out to our place in Santa Ponsa for 5 weeks! They will be doing the things 16 yr olds do! We have been going there for over 20 years now - and reccomend any venue where a band called 'Gazoline' play. They are in fact called the Gazmen now (having lost their drummer!) and formerly toured in Denmark under the name 'Scarecrows'. They do a lot of rock covers - and their guitar playing is awesome! They play most nights in a bar called 'Strings' in Santa Ponsa, also 1 night in Magaluf somewhere!I fly out on 19th to join them - so will miss you out there - but she'd be thrilled to hear from you and to join you! She will certainly be able to show you some good nights out!!! (steady, Scott!)

katie hamlin
Try Alcudia.....great bars, loverly beach and one hell of a party!! Im going back again on the 28th july!!

Shannon Carline
after all the bars are cloesed and you still don't want to go home for sleep there a 24 hour bar called Robin Hood. Its down near pizza hut in magaluf. It's a bit of a dive but perfect for a 8am drink ha ha!!! We spent a few mornings there in june this year!!
