Discover Magaluf
Magaluf is one of Calvià’s coastal settlements, almost joined to neighbouring Palmanova. Its broad sandy beach, accommodation and restaurant and leisure activity create an urban landscape beside the sea. A visit can focus on the beachfront or seek a different coastal perspective towards either end of the bay.
A story to discover
The place name is recorded from 1234 as Magaluf ben Jusef, although the present holiday resort is much more recent. The age of the name should be distinguished from the growth of hotels and leisure activities that now characterise this part of the coast.

The sandy beach is the waterfront’s main open public space.
