AttractionsAs you would expect the Majorca Tourist Information Service (OIT - Oficines d'Informacio Turistica de Mallorca) have offices in the town at:Oficines d'Informacio Turistica de Mallorca Calle Pere Vaquer Ramis nº 1 07181 Magaluf Telephone: +34 971 131 126 Fax: +34 971 131 188 Email: omtmagaluf@calvia.com and the staff there are always very helpful with advice and information about local events and activities.
In recognition of the huge British presence in the south of the island,
a number of organisations have chosen this area to base their businesses.
Certainly worth a mention, but hopefully not a visit whilst on holiday is the British Surgery in Magaluf.
With five surgeries in the area at Avenida Notario Alemany (opposite the Hotel Sol Barbados/Antillas),
Calle Blanc (opposite the Aparthotel Fiesta Sahara), Calle Hermanos Pinzones (opposite the Hotel Sol Tordos/Mirlos),
Cami Sa Porrassa (opposite the Hotel Sol Guadalupe) and Calle Martin Ros Garcia (opposite the Hotel TRH Palmanova),
they aim to provide the highest level of medical care for both British tourists and the ex-pat residents in
Mallorca. Unlike most, if not all, of the other medical centres on the island the staff here are all British and of the
highest calibre. Contact details are:
Of special interest to families travelling to Mallorca with young children this summer is the service being
offered by "Baby Talk". Based in Palma Nova, they stock a wide selection of branded British baby supplies
imported direct from the UK. They also provide a "buy before you fly" service whereby holiday makers can buy
in advance any British baby products they generally use at home and have them delivered to their accommodation
on the day of arrival saving the need to carry nappies, milk etc. The shop is also open to anyone on the island
and they also offer a delivery service to both residents and holidaymakers on Mallorca. Contact details are: So what is there to do in Magaluf and Calvia? Well the general principle is, if you've got money in your pocket you're never more than a few minutes away from a major tourist attraction. The nearest weekly market to the town is held in nearby Andratx every Wednesday morning. Special market buses are always laid from the larger south coast resorts throughout the day, although these are always very full by the time they arrive at the market. So, if there are a number of you that can travel together it's often worth considering taking a taxi for the short trip.
The Aqualand Magaluf on the edge of the resort is a giant waterpark with death defying slides, thrilling rides for older
kids and some tamer ones for the toddlers. They're open every day May to October from 10am in the morning
to 6pm in the evening, but do close during the cooler winter months for general repairs and refurbishment of the
park. Contact details are:
Older children in particular will enjoy racing around the kart track on the outskirts of the Magaluf,
near to the Aquapark. They're Open every day from 10am to midnight in high summer, and for the rest
of the year it's 10am to sunset. Contact details are:
MAD Divers are a British owned and staffed dive centre. They run scuba diving excursions and PADI courses out of
Santa Ponsa, Palma Nova and Magaluf. Their service includes a free mini-bus service between your hotel and the dive centre.
Nitrox is available at no extra cost for Nitrox qualified divers. For further information and bookings they can be contacted

One of the newest attractions in Calvia is the Western Park. It's the combination of both a water park and a wild
west theme park, that is really suitable for all the family. During the day there's a number of predatory birds
shows going on, a small animal farm, and green lawned areas to relax in. Contact details are:
The House of Katmandu is an enormous, upside-down Tibetan-style mansion which seems to have fallen straight out of the sky.
Visitors move through a series of rooms as the House tells the story of its owner, Kilgore Goode. A rugged adventurer on a
life-long quest for a legendary red jewel, Kilgore’s strange tale involves an ancient monk, a mysterious sherpa, a
magnificent mermaid princess and most illusive of all, the yeti – a legendary, large-footed snow beast of the Himalayas.
Starting in the warehouse, visitors will learn the legend of these characters as their self-guided tour takes them through
the Galley of Plunders, the Workshop of Wonders, the Library of Illusions, Katmandu Valley, the Genetics Lab, the Chamber
of Pain, and finally, the Cave of Shivers. All the while, the adventure unfolds around every corner as the suspense builds
to the inevitable yeti encounter. For more information on opening times and admission prices, their contact details are:
At the rear of the House of Katmandu is the 4D Experience extreme motion cinema. With 6 rides to choose from this unique
cinema experience with it's specially designed seating and special effects - plus special dimensional glasses - place you
in the middle of all the action. Contact details are:
For that extra special night out whilst on holiday, we can certainly recommend the "Come Fly With Me" show at the nearby Gran
Casino Theatre in Sol de Mallorca. Combining the music of Frank Sinatra with the visual spectacle of Cirque Du Soleil,
"Come Fly With Me" is set to become one of the hottest productions outside of Broadway this year.
With an international cast that features some of world’s greatest acrobats and dancers; the show is set to be an absolute
spectacle of delight, the likes of which is rarely seen off Broadway itself. Chris Mann takes on the lead role of "Ol Blue
Eyes" himself ... an unnerving experience you’d expect but not for Chris, as he’s widely regarded as one of the world’s
greatest Sinatra impersonators.
Set in 1959 in the city of New York, the show reflects the vibrant energy of a city at its best. The audience just has to
close their eyes to be instantly transported back in time to a period when Rat Pack style ruled the world with their ultimate
sophistication and undoubted class. The production values of the show are second to none and it has been painstakingly
produced with a relentless eye for period detail and heart stopping dance and acrobatic routines.
Created by Globo Balear, the same team that run the massively successful Pirates Adventure in Mallorca, "Come Fly With Me"
is sure to be an instant hit, bringing all the quality that you’d expect from a top Broadway experience to this show in
Mallorca. For more information on show times and ticket prices, contact details are:
One of the most popular evening attractions with all nationalities in the south of the island is the
Pirates Adventure (Els Pirates), which is based on the outskirts of Magaluf. It takes the form of a Dinner/Show
with a pirate theme, and has short dialogues in English throughout. The summer season commences early April each year and runs
through until the end of October, with performances most evenings. In addition to the family show, there is also
a special late night adults only "Pirates Uncut" performance. Contact details for more information and bookings
for either show are:
Pickles Ballroom and Dance Studio is situated next door to the Aparthotel Majorca Beach in Magaluf.

and also have a regular programme of dance tuition including modern ballroom, latin american, salsa and the
newest craze for which no partner is required called latin-in-line. The ballroom is owned and run by Ian
Pickles and Anne Mawson from England, and they welcome both dancers and non-dancers to their studio offering
special rates for holiday makers who want to learn to dance in a friendly and informal atmosphere.

Although Palma is less than 20 minutes away by taxi from the centre of Magaluf, and is also both
the commercial and cultural centre of Majorca, the depth of history, culture and nightlife there
often takes visitors by surprise. The easiest way to "see Palma in a day" is by the Number 50 sightseeing bus,
which runs on average every 20 minutes throughout the day, and takes in all the major sights of the city.
In common with most City Tour buses around Europe, you can hop on and off the bus at any point, and tickets
are valid for a 24 hour period. The total journey time for the round trip is 1 hour 20 minutes and costs 13€ for
adults and 6.50€ for children under 16. For more information their contact details are:
Golf Fantasia in nearby Palma Nova, is set amid waterfalls, caves and tropical gardens, and is without doubt
one of the best mini golf courses in Majorca. There is a choice of three very different 18 hole courses, although
you will be allocated a specific course on buying the ticket in an attempt to minimise waiting time during play.
This attraction becomes very popular during high season with most of the major tour operators running trips
here from all over the island. They are open every day throughout the year from 10am to 2am the following
morning. Contact details for more information is:
Just along the coast from Palma Nova
at Portals Nous, is one of the most popular family attractions on the island Marineland. Here you will find
performing dolphins, sealions, and parrot shows throughout the day. As far as we are aware these are the only
captive dolphins on the island, and frequently we are asked "can we swim with them?".
Again as far as we are aware, the answer is sadly no. During the show a number of small children are picked at
random to be pulled around their pool in a small inflatable dinghy, but outside of the show times the public are
not allowed access to these beautiful creatures. Opening hours are: Certainly not for the faint hearted is the Magaluf Bungee Rocket Human catapult. They're only open during the summer months and can be found on the Calle Punta Balena in Magaluf. Telephone either 696 271 938 or 670 290 784 for more information and bookings.
Not really an attraction, but certainly an amenity worth knowing about, is the Hire Centre in Magaluf.
They offer a full range wheelchairs and mobility scooters for hire and offer a free delivery within a 10km radius of the resort.
In addition to mobility products, they also offer a range of cots, highchairs, baby walkers and buggies for hire.
