Mallorca
For clubbers and concert-goers, one of the most exciting additions to the party scene in Magaluf (or Palma for that matter) is Sol House Trinidad, the younger sister of the legendary venue Ibiza Rocks. Spruced up in 2016 (despite only opening in 2010), the complex comprises a monster-sized hotel (656 rooms) gathered around pools with pulsating music.
Pool parties with celebrity DJs and nonstop house are held most nights in season. Entry is free for all, not just guests.
