On the sunny island of Majorca, Magaluf and Palma Nova are two buzzing resorts located right next door to each other, making it easy to get to either one whichever resort you choose to stay in. Magaluf, the livelier of the two, is jampacked with bars and clubs on its vibrant strip. Coupled with its stunning Blue Flag beach, Magaluf is ideal if you’re looking for sun-kissed days and electric nights for your hen do.

A short distance along the coastline lies Palma Nova, Magaluf’s more relaxed counterpart. The nightlife here is not as brash as its neighbour, think Irish pubs, cocktail bars and live music. It is known for its gorgeous sandy beach, adding to its chilled out vibe. Palma Nova is perfect if you don’t fancy staying in the thick of it, but you’re in easy reach of all the nightlife the two resorts have to offer.
