Soak Up The Spanish Sun: Magaluf On A Budget #sponsored

December 23, 2013 by Dawn McAlexander

Magaluf Resort on Majorca Spanish Island Vacation on a budget

Cheap Is The New Classy

Magaluf is a holiday resort in Majorca, a beautiful Spanish island. Though a vacation to Magaluf might seem extravagant and expensive, you can also see the sites of this cultural and exotic resort on a budget. You can take a flight Balearic islands by way of the UK, Amsterdam or Paris and then you are only hours from immersion in the fabulous European culture and Spanish sun. With miles of fabulous beaches and wonderful island food, you are sure to enjoy the resort of Magaluf, on Majorca, which has been a favorite with travelers in Europe for many years.

Things To Do In Magaluf

Lying 17 kilometers from Majorca’s capital Palma, Magaluf is a favorite vacation destination for many leagues of travelers. If you are a foodie, there is wonderful food to be had around every corner. If you love the sun, there are miles of sandy beaches and blue skies as far as you can see. Also, if you love a bargain, you can definitely enjoy this resort without breaking the bank. Package deals are offered year-round that include accomodations, food, drinks and you can even have activities included if you like. One price packaging is not only a great way to budget, but it is also really convenient.

Magaluf beaches offer long, white sandy shores and sparkly, warm waters, so if you can fit many activities into your budget, you will still have a gorgeous landscape and hours of relaxation to make this a vacation to remember for years to come. Or, if you decide to take part in activities, Magaluf offers many varieties, from action-packed watersports like jet-skiing, waterskiing and parascending to appease your inner adventurist.

If you are into the nightlife scene, Magaluf also has plenty of bars, restaurants and nightclubs to drink, eat and dance the night away. Enjoy a sampling of the hundreds of different cocktails available at the resort while you bask in the glow of the setting sun. Also, be sure to take in some of the traditional Spanish food such as paella, and island favorite. Vacationing with the family? Check out one of the quiet tavernas and family-run places where you can enjoy your vacation together.

 

How Much Money Do I Need For A Magaluf Vacation?

Currently, one euro is equivalent to one dollar and thirty cents in American money. To give you an idea of how far your dollar can go in Magaluf, meals generally start at around a couple of euros each and soft drinks and alcoholic beverages are generally around one euro a piece. So, you don’t have to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a vacation in Magaluf if you don’t want to.

Magaluf Accommodations

There are many types of accommodations available in Magaluf to suit your needs. From budget guesthouses to five star hotels, you should easily be able to find a room, a hotel or a villa that will suit your needs and pricepoint. I always recommend searching online for the best deals before booking your vacation. If you are planning on booking a holiday before you leave the States, then search around online for the best deal.

However, you could take a chance and just see what happens when you get there! You could always score a late deal or someone else’s cancellation at a discount by doing this. Peak season for European travel is May to September, so you might not want to wing it during these months. If you do decide to wait to book your room until you get there, please let me know how it turns out as I have always wanted to try this, but have never had the nerve!

    Beautiful photos! The colors are amazing. That’s what I want in a vacation …blue waters and white beaches. I could do without all the people though. ๐Ÿ™‚ I love the idea of vacationing on a budget but I wouldn’t have the guts to wait until I’m there for a place to stay. I like to have things planned out. Thanks. I hadn’t heard of his beach treasure.
