In my previous Mallorca guide, I talked to you about Palma de Mallorca, the awesome city centre of the island – now I’d like to talk about the southern (and probaby the worst) part of the island, where are not so many beautiful attractions compare to north Mallorca.
First of all, you have to know that there any many cheap flights
from the UK to Mallorca – this is reason why lots of teen have their first
holiday „without the parents” here in this island. The alcohol is kinda cheap
to them, so it’s easy to have fun and they don’t need super natural attraction
to party and get drunk.
Now that you know this, you will realize why there are so
many drunk teen in the southern part of Mallorca. The teens don’t like to drive
hours after they arrived to the island, so they mostly go to the closest – and the
wildest – towns next to the airport and Magaluf is one of them.

The largest party place of the island is Magaluf, what
have a nice beach, many hotels, many bars and discos and an Aquapark is close
to here as well. Shortly, it’s a perfect place to getting drunk. The nightlife
is kinda crazy – it means that you will see many naked guys lying on the floor,
or guys who have nausea but you might see some wild girls without bras too. I
know, it sounds awful, but this is the truth.
I was here only once, in 2008 for few days, but since I’ve
heard (and read) that the place has fallen from every high quality, so I
honestly don’t recommend to anyone, only those who wants to party and get
drunk. As I know, a couple of years ago even a reality show (The Magaluf
Weekenders) made a series about the wildlife experiences of Magaluf. If you
check it out, you will see nothing, but the real life of the place.

It’s more like a twin town of Magaluf, however Palma Nova
is a big calmer one. The discos and the famous bars and located between the two
town, so if you are not much into the wild party lifestyle, I recommend this
place more. I also think that Palma Nova have a cleaner beach and you can find
an apartment or a house to rent it out easier than in Magaluf, what’s full of
hotels. However, I still say that if you are in Mallorca, go to a different
part of the island, because these are the worst places – honestly.

One of the best places on the south coast: it’s very romantic
and calm, but the beach is tiny and gets deep very quickly, so there’s not so
many kids around - I recommend this place for couples only. There are many
adults-only hotel in Santa Ponsa and there’s so many thing to do, next to
enjoying the beach: you can try out diving from the diving center, go to
sailing, enjoy horse riding or learn how to play golf in the local golf center,
what’s quite famous in Mallorca.

ELM

Unfortunately, I got to see this beautiful little fishing
village years after my first visit to Mallorca. Sant Elm is the only reason I
fell in love with the southern part of the island, however I didn’t have the
change to go to the wonderful mountatin tour (Ruina La Trapa) when I was there –
I jut had some stroll, sunbathing, a wonderful lunch and beach time. Maybe next
time I go to Mallorca I’ll visit this lovely town again, but I don’t recommend
it on summer, because the beach is not too big and it’s not much thing to do
there when the weather is very hot.
Next to Sant Elm, there’s a tiny natural protected
island, called Sa Dragonera National Park, where are hundreds of unique birds
and plants – I’ve seen many beautiful photo about it, so If you would like to
check it, you can go there by boat from Sant Elm and spend few hours there – it’s
a lovely experience!
