Where is the main strip in Majorca?

The Magaluf strip, also known as Punta Ballena, is located in the south-western part of Majorca. It is a lively resort situated between Palma Nova and Calvia Beach Resort, with stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea.



The "main strip" in Majorca (Mallorca) is located in the vibrant resort town of Magaluf and is officially known as Punta Ballena. Often simply referred to as "The Strip," this 450-meter-long stretch of road is the epicenter of the island's legendary nightlife. It is packed with over 40 neon-lit bars, world-class nightclubs (like BCM), and eclectic restaurants, all overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. In 2026, the strip continues to be the go-to destination for young travelers and party enthusiasts, particularly during the peak summer months of June through August. While the area has seen increased regulation to promote "quality tourism," it remains a high-energy hub known for its lively atmosphere, karaoke bars, and beach clubs. For those seeking a slightly more relaxed but still active "strip" experience, the neighboring town of Palma Nova offers a similar but more family-friendly coastal walk with numerous shops and cafes, though Magaluf's Punta Ballena remains the undisputed capital of the island's after-dark entertainment.
