Overview

• A TikTok video by British YouTuber Alex captured empty bars, unused sunbeds and deserted streets along Punta Ballena, raising questions about Magaluf’s future as a party hub.
• Local officials maintain fines up to £50,000 for balcony jumping, £1,300 for street drinking and enforced early closures for off-licences to curb disorderly conduct.
• Security guards are still posted outside bars even as venues operate shorter hours and visitor numbers remain far below past summer peaks.
• Long-time residents and former holiday reps recall weekly bar crawls drawing around 500 revelers in 2008, highlighting the stark contrast with today’s low turnout.
• Many holidaymakers are opting for cheaper, more welcoming spots, with Rhodes and nearby Palma Nova emerging as preferred alternatives.
