Beaches of Magaluf: the purest "stagnant" waters
There are two beaches on Magaluf. Despite the fact that, according to one version, the word "Magaluf" is translated from Arabic as "stagnant waters", in the first half of the day the water on the beaches is clean, transparent. It becomes turbid only in the evenings or in strong winds, which stir up the sand, because of which the water loses its transparency.
The beach of Magaluf is the main beach of the resort. It is quite large - its coastal zone is 850 meters. It is marked by the Blue Flag (receives this insignia annually). The sand on the beach is imported, white and coarse-grained. The beach is bordered by a palm promenade, immediately after which many hotels and clubs begin.
The beach of Palma Nova rather refers to the resort of Palma Nova , with which it borders. This beach is smaller and somewhat less crowded.

In addition, there are "shooters" in the style of the Wild West, a room of fear, a mirror labyrinth, a water piano, a bewitched forest. Here at every step surprises await (for example, you can meet a ghost!). And still here you can admire the interactive aquarium.
