Beach clubs in Port d'Andratx

Port d'Andratx has one beach club in Port d'Andratx worth knowing about. It's Gran Folies, perched on the rocky cliffs above Cala Llamp on Mallorca's southwest coast.

This is one of the most upscale corners of the island. The harbour town is small, quiet, and popular with sailing crowds and second-home owners. The beach club scene here isn't about volume. It's about one well-established spot doing its thing on one of Mallorca's most photogenic coves.

Gran Folies holds a 4.2 rating from over 2,284 Google reviews. Pricing is €€€. The club operates seasonally, typically open from spring through autumn, closing over winter. If you're exploring more of Mallorca's beach clubs, the island has dozens spread across the coast.

Beach Club Gran Folies

Beach Club Gran Folies sits on the steep, rocky hillside above Cala Llamp, about a five-minute drive from the Port d'Andratx harbour. The setting is the draw. You look out over turquoise water from tiered sun terraces carved into the cliff. The saltwater pool is the centrepiece, mentioned in 116 Google reviews.

Food is Mediterranean with international touches. It's a proper restaurant, not just a bar menu. The club serves lunch and dinner with table service, and the cocktail list is solid. Hammocks get 59 review mentions, sunbeds and deck chairs another 39 between them. Snorkelling off the rocks below is a thing too, flagged in 11 reviews.

Pricing is €€€. Reservations are accepted and recommended, especially for weekend lunch in summer. Free parking is available, though spaces can be tight in peak season. The club is family-friendly with a kids' menu and high chairs. Free WiFi throughout.

The review spread tells the story: 60% of guests give it five stars, but the one and two-star reviews (about 13% combined) tend to flag restroom cleanliness and high prices. Most people come back for the views and the pool. It's the kind of place that's better experienced arriving by boat, and the club can arrange a pickup from the water with one phone call.

Getting to Port d'Andratx
