4 reviewed party hostels · from €15.00/night · verified ratings
Palma’s nightlife doesn’t just happen in the clubs: it starts in the hostels. New Art Hostel, for example, has a rooftop terrace where backpackers gather for pre-drinks before heading to Paseo Marítimo, the strip that never sleeps. The scene here is social but not overwhelming; you’ll find groups spilling out of Irish pubs and kebab shops at 1 AM, all heading toward the same few clubs. The hostel scene is small but tight-knit, with places like Y Hostel and Urban Hostel throwing their own bar crawls or shuttling guests to the bigger parties. If you’re travelling solo, you’ll end up knowing half the crowd by the end of the first night.

How Mallorca's nightlife zones break down
The nightlife spine of Palma, Paseo Marítimo is a 3-kilometre stretch of bars, clubs, and restaurants along the waterfront. It’s where you’ll find BCM, Tito’s, and Shamrock Irish Pub. The area is tourist-heavy but undeniably fun, with music spilling onto the pavement until sunrise. If you’re staying here, bring earplugs: the party goes all night.
A 15-minute walk from the Old Town, Santa Catalina is where locals go to eat and drink. The streets are lined with tapas bars, brunch spots, and small live music venues. It’s quieter than Paseo Marítimo but still social, with a mix of expats and Mallorcans. Check out Café Can Joan for coffee or La Parada for late-night burgers.
The historic heart of Palma, Old Town is a maze of cobblestone streets, Gothic architecture, and hidden plazas. By day, it’s all about sightseeing: La Seu Cathedral and the Royal Palace of La Almudaina are must-sees. By night, the area transforms, with cocktail bars and small clubs filling up. It’s central but can feel touristy; stay near Plaça Major for the best atmosphere.
Bars, clubs and live music in Mallorca
A multi-level club inside a shopping centre, BCM is Palma’s biggest draw. Expect EDM, hip-hop, and commercial hits, with international DJs most weekends. The crowd is 18-30, mostly British and German tourists. Entry is €20 with a drink included, but queue early: it gets packed by 2 AM. Dress code is smart casual; no flip-flops.
The go-to spot for backpackers, Shamrock has €3 pints during happy hour and live football on big screens. It’s where most pub crawls start, so it’s always busy. The crowd is mixed, with a lot of solo travellers. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch an impromptu karaoke session after midnight. No cover charge.
A Palma institution since the 1920s, Tito’s is a two-floor club with a terrace overlooking the bay. The music is a mix of throwback hits and current chart tracks, and the crowd is older than BCM’s: think 25-40. Entry is €15 with a drink, and it’s open until 6 AM. Get there before 1 AM to avoid the queue.
This kebab shop is the unofficial meeting point for pub crawls. It’s nothing fancy: just cheap beer, late-night snacks, and a crowd spilling onto the pavement. A döner kebab costs €4, and the staff don’t care if you’re still eating at 3 AM. It’s right next to Shamrock, so it’s the perfect pit stop between bars.
The island’s most famous club brand, Pacha is all about house and techno. The crowd is dressed to impress, and the bouncers are picky: no shorts or trainers. Entry is €25 with a drink, and it’s open until 6 AM. If you’re not on the guest list, arrive before 1 AM to avoid a long wait.
A bar district in the Old Town, La Lonja is a maze of narrow streets packed with cocktail bars and tapas spots. It’s quieter than Paseo Marítimo but still lively, with a mix of locals and tourists. Try La Rosa Vermuteria for vermouth and tapas: it’s open until midnight and has a great outdoor seating area.
