Each week, the show follows two different sets of young friends. For some, this is their first holiday without their parents. In The Magaluf Weekender, guests checked in to Lively Hotel, a holiday resort on the island of Mallorca, with their friends for three days. The hotel rigged cameras to film every aspect of their holiday in a Big Brother-style of filming. In Series 2, cameras were installed in the bedrooms. In 2015, the show relocated to Ibiza for Series 4 and became Ibiza Weekender.
