Karisma Beach Club is a hookah bar and restaurant on Carrer de l'Arenal, right on the seafront in Platja de Palma. It sits on one of the busiest beach strips in Mallorca, a short drive east of Palma centre.
If it doesn't suit, the other beach clubs in Mallorca are laid out side by side in our city guide.
Sea views are a constant here. Premium sunbeds line the front, a DJ provides the soundtrack, and hookah is something the standard beach clubs nearby don't offer. The crowd skews LGBTQ+ friendly, and the atmosphere shifts noticeably from relaxed daytime sessions to something livelier as the evening picks up.
Prices sit around €20-30 per person, which reviewers consistently call fair. Free parking is available in a garage and on surrounding streets, and the venue is fully wheelchair accessible throughout.
Rated 4.9 from 171 reviews, 120 of which are five stars. Only one drops below four. The team gets consistent praise for being attentive. The club is currently listed as temporarily closed, so confirm current status before making plans.

Food & Drinks at Karisma Beach Club
Cocktails are the headline, mentioned more than any other topic in reviews. The frozen daiquiri gets the most specific shoutouts and is the one thing guests keep recommending to first-timers. Hookah is central to the offering alongside the drinks, which is what makes this place feel different from a typical beach bar.
The food is taken seriously. The croquettes are the most-praised dish, and taste comes up repeatedly as a positive across reviews. Guests rate the food a full 5/5. The kitchen serves dine-in meals, and the quality holds up across both food and drinks at the €20-30 price point.
