Balearic Islands Tourism Guide - Majorca Nightlife

Majorca Tourism Eating Out

There are a selection of what they call 'cellar' restaurants dotted across Majorca and with a little pigeon Spanish, you might well be in for the Spanish gastronomic experience of your life. Arta is a hot spot for fine Mallorcan restaurants, and Deia is another choice spot where you can sit out on perched terraces admiring some pretty amazing landscape. Pollenca is a pleasant surprise as is Santanyi and it's easy to push out into these spots if you're based in some of the more popular resorts like Port de Pollenca or the various Cala's along the east coast are close enough to Santanyi, and Palma the capital for that matter. Palma has an amazing choice of restaurants and cafes befitting it's cosmopolitan feel.

The well known resorts such as Magaluf, S'Arenal, Port d'Alcudia and Cala Rajada all have a friendly and familiar feel about them. What you get a lot of is a mix of German, Spanish and English food, captured rather interestingly in some of Martin Parr's photographs at the Andratx Cultural Centre. All mushed up mix of greasy vege and paella. He's obviously missed some of the ace fry ups you can get at some of the English run cafe bars in some of the resorts. It's worth being a little adventurous though, as Majorcan pastries beat all.

Majorca Resorts Eating Out

If you're looking for clubland, then Palma Nova and Magaluf are where it's at. These two Majorca resorts sort of merge into one and this stretch of coastline to the west of Palma in the Bay of Palma has award-winning sandy beaches with bars lining the coast open 24/7. These resorts have easy access to loads of fun-packed entertainment such as waterparks, go-karts, karaoke, catamarans and lots of famous clubs such as Bananas, Boomerangs and the 70s and 80s music fest that is Carwash. Clubs like Fusion are home to famous names such as Hed Kandi. Check out Magaluf's BCM, which has two large main rooms and features the big name DJs like Cox, Dave Pearce, Lisa Lashes and Jules. There's plenty of restaurants and bars, with all the usual familiar faces such as KFC, McDonalds and Pizza Hut.

Majorca Family Holidays Eating Out

Majorca family nightlife entertainment is well taken care of in Majorca. You'll find everything you need in the resorts with a choice of great family friendly restaurants spread out along nice clean beach promenades. Plenty of choice, and familiar chips and wot not that kids will recognise. They know how to do ice cream in some of these Majorca resorts as well, what with your bannana split come chocolate mush mix - fantastic.

Ample family friendly restaurants offering simple, often traditional English food, can be found in Port de Pollenca and Alcudia. You'll find friendly family welcomes in restaurants slightly inland from resorts. If you're based in Cala Rajada on the East Coast of Majorca for example, check out Arta for a superb choice of restaurants offering the chance to sample some Mallorcan fare. Or try the main square in Santanyi to the south. It's crammed with some choice friendly restaurants come cafes and is a favourite spot for the local kids who run rampant round the square in the evening sun.
