Cales de Mallorca sits on Mallorca's quieter east coast, about 45 minutes from Palma by car. The resort wraps around a series of rocky coves and sandy inlets, with Cala Domingos as the main beach. Beach clubs in Cales de Mallorca come down to one venue, and that venue sits right on that bay.
Martinelli Beach Club covers everything from morning coffee to DJ-fuelled sunset sessions. It's a relaxed, Mediterranean-style operation that suits the resort's character: family-friendly, unhurried, and priced well below what you'd pay on the island's southwest coast.
For more beach club choice on the east coast, Cala d'Or is around 20 minutes south and has several options along its waterfront. Cales de Mallorca itself is a one-venue scene, and that simplicity is part of its appeal.
For a broader view of what the island offers, Mallorca.com's beach club guide covers venues across the island, from the premium southwest coast clubs to smaller east coast operations like this one.

Is Martinelli Beach Club worth visiting?
For a beach club day on Mallorca's east coast, Martinelli Beach Club is the only real option in Cales de Mallorca, and it delivers on the right day. The terrace faces Cala Domingos directly, cocktails are the main event, and a DJ plays most afternoons.
Reviews are split. The views and food draw consistent praise, while service can be inconsistent on busy weekends. Book ahead rather than walking in at peak lunch time.
How much does Martinelli Beach Club cost?
Budget around 20 to 30 euros per person for food and drinks. Sunbed and umbrella hire is charged separately. It's noticeably cheaper than comparable venues on Mallorca's southwest coast.
Free parking is available on-site, which is rare for a beachfront spot anywhere on the island. Reservations don't cost anything to make and are worth doing for summer weekends.
Martinelli Beach Club
Martinelli Beach Club sits directly on Cala Domingos, the widest beach in the resort. The terrace faces the water, with sunbeds and umbrellas running down toward the shore. The decor has a bohemian, eclectic feel that suits the relaxed east coast crowd.
Cocktails are the main draw. Mojitos get mentioned the most, and the bar covers wine, beer, and coffee alongside. Paella is the most talked-about dish, with grilled fish, small plates, and salads completing a menu that runs from breakfast through to late dinner.
The club opens Tuesday to Sunday from 10:30, with Mondays off. Book ahead for weekend lunches and summer evenings. Free parking is on-site, the venue is fully wheelchair accessible, and there's a kids' area with a children's menu.
Reviews are genuinely mixed. The views and cocktails draw near-universal praise, but service comes up repeatedly in negative feedback. A booked table on a quieter day tends to bring out the better side of this place.
