Palmanova or Magaluf: where to stay for your Mallorca holiday

Planning your holidays in Mallorca and torn between Palmanova and Magaluf? It is one of the most common questions for anyone heading to the southwest of the island. They sit right next to each other, yet they offer very different experiences. The good news: you do not have to choose. With the right hotel, you can have the best of both.

At Hotel Agua Beach we are clear about it. We are on the seafront of the calm Palmanova beach, adults only, with the buzz of Magaluf just 5 minutes away. You sleep with the sea at your feet and, if you fancy some nightlife, it is right next door. In this guide we tell you what each area is like and how to make the most of both. Read on and, once you are ready, book your getaway at the best price on our official website.

Palmanova: calm and right on the beach

Palmanova (Palma Nova), in the municipality of Calvià, is one of the most balanced areas in southwest Mallorca. It has fine sandy beaches and calm waters, a pleasant seafront promenade and a relaxed atmosphere, without giving up shops, restaurants and services within a short walk.

It is the ideal choice if you are looking for:

• Rest by the sea, with calm swims in a sheltered bay.
• A more peaceful atmosphere, perfect for a getaway as a couple or with friends.
• Good connections to the rest of the island, around 15 minutes from Palma.

This is exactly where Hotel Agua Beach fits in: seafront, adults only and with all the best of the area within reach. Check availability and book and start planning your days.

Magaluf: fun and nightlife just steps away

Just a few minutes away you have Magaluf, known worldwide for its lively nightlife. But Magaluf is much more than partying: it has a lovely beach, seafront beach clubs, water parks such as Western Water Park and entertainment for every taste.

The advantage of staying in Palmanova is that you enjoy Magaluf whenever you feel like it (a night out, a day at a beach club or a family plan) and come back to sleep in a calm, seafront setting. The best of both worlds, with no compromises.

Which one to choose? Our recommendation

If your priority is rest, the sea and a relaxed atmosphere, stay in Palmanova. If you want nightlife on your doorstep every night, Magaluf is your place. And if you want both, the perfect move is to sleep in Palmanova, right by the beach, and pop over to Magaluf whenever you like. You are five minutes away.

That is why Hotel Agua Beach is such a convenient base: peace and quiet and a seafront location to rest, with plenty of entertainment very close by when you want it.

What else is nearby

The area offers much more than beach and nightlife:

• Puerto Portals. One of the most elegant marinas in Mallorca, ideal for a stroll, dinner or a drink among the yachts.
• Marineland. A local classic, perfect for a different kind of day.
• Golf courses. Up to six courses just a few minutes from the hotel.
• Palma de Mallorca. Around 15 minutes away, with its cathedral, old town and atmosphere.

When to travel to Palmanova

Palmanova is wonderful in beach season, but spring and early autumn are arguably the best times: great weather, pleasant water, fewer crowds and friendlier prices. If you are after real tranquillity, travelling outside the peak of summer is a great idea. Check our available dates and pick yours.
