Quick Introduction to Mallorca
Average price for a bed: Hostels in Mallorca cost 13€ – 22€ per night for a bed in a dorm. A private room starts from 30€ up to 65€ per night. This is a rough average just to give you an idea.
Prices always depend on season and holidays. Please always check exact rates on Hostelworld.com or Booking.com.
Check-In and Check Out: The average check-in time is from 15:00 (3pm), while the Check Out time is before 11:00 (11am). Hostels usually offer luggage storage in case you arrive earlier or leave later. Make sure you check if luggage storage is free or if there is an extra cost.
Hostel Albergue Juvenil: Aka Mallorca youth hostel. You will notice that nearly all of the Balearic Islands hostels include this in their hostel name. That’s because most of them are designed for people aged 30 and under. However! That doesn’t mean if you are older you are not welcome to stay (unless stated). If you are over 30 you will need to provide an International Hostelling Association membership card. Some hostels can sort this for you at reception, otherwise you can buy one online.
El Casco Antiguo: This is the Old Town of Palma de Mallorca and where most of the must-see tourist attractions can be found. It is the best area to stay in Majorca if you want to be central.
Car Rental: For the overall best experience, I highly recommend renting a car in Mallorca. It is the easiest way to get around and explore villages and beaches.

Magaluf Hostels
Some of you may well be heading to the island of Mallorca in search of some great party hostels in Magaluf.
Would you believe that there are actually NO great party hostels in Magaluf?!
Actually, there are no hostels full stop. Ouch.
That’s because Magaluf usually attracts charter holidays and most people choose to stay in hotels.
Our recommendation is to stay in Palma de Mallorca which is around a 20 minute drive from Magaluf. Here you can find sociable and fun hostels. Plus great nightlife in the city.
If you’re dead set on experiencing the nightlife of Magaluf and wish to stay even just one night, we suggest checking out BH Mallorca – Adults Only.
There are only private rooms on offer here, and it is strictly an over 18s hotel. They host daily pool parties in the summer, and there is a water park with 9 slides and 3 giant hot tubs. Fun!

Flights to Mallorca?
Mallorca’s main airport is in Palma de Mallorca. You can take a taxi to the city center or the public bus, it is very well connected. Please bare in mind, August is absolute high-season and flights can be more pricey.
If your time allows, I recommend travelling in June or September/ October. Weather is wonderful, prices are way cheaper and beaches more empty. For me, this is the perfect time.
Mallorca is very well connected with many major destinations. You can even score super cheap flights from Barcelona to Mallorca for 15€ if you are lucky. I recommend setting a price alert on your preferred flight tracker. My favourite is Flights.Google.
We use Skyscanner and Omio.com to find cheap flights and good connections all over the globe.
Skyscanner has a bunch of cool features like Multi-City Trip. Instead of doing this research step-by-step, Skyscanner offers this flight planning tool.
