Experience Majorcan nights

Majorcan nights offer numerous possibilities for fun, whether with friends or as a couple, for those who want a quiet night out or those who prefer to dance until dawn.

Palma, the island's capital, has become one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the Mediterranean. There are so many options to choose from. By evening the bars and restaurants in the city start to get busy, and there are several areas that have a large concentration of entertainment venues.

One of these is the Lonja neighbourhood, a network of streets surrounding the historical La Lonja Market building, sprinkled with good restaurants, offering cuisine from all over the world. There are tapas bars for an informal dinner, savouring them accompanied with good local wines. The night continues with a drink in an old palace, at a live music venue or at a rooftop bar with unbeatable views over the Palma bay.

Another option is the Santa Cantalina neighbourhood, a former fishermen’s quarter, which has become a hot spot for night life in Palma. As there are many small restaurants offering traditional Asian, Peruvian, Thai, international, Italian and other typical cuisine, many foreigners have moved to this neighbourhood, providing it with an attractive cosmopolitan ambience.

If you wish to carry on into the night, the Promenade, where the capital's most famous night clubs are located, offers multiple choices.

There are several areas on the island that have beach clubs offering restaurant and bar services where you can relax on comfortable beach beds on summer nights and enjoy the views, the sea breeze and parties with DJs.

Some marinas, such as Puerto Portals and Port Adriano, have top category restaurants and cocktail bars that attract a good crowd. 

Coastal towns such as Port d’Andratx, Port de Sóller, Port d’Alcúdia and Port de Pollença have numerous venues with terraces where you can enjoy local fish and seafood dishes.

Most of the island villages celebrate the festivities honouring their patron saints in summer, providing a wide range of outdoor fairs that will give you a glimpse of the most authentic Mallorca.

If you would rather enjoy a cultural evening, check the programme for the Auditòrium de Palma or the Teatro Principal, the Teatro de Artà, the Auditorio de Alcúdia and Sa Màniga, in CalaMillor, where all year-round there are theatre, music, dance and opera performances.
