What is the best beach club in Port d'Andratx?
Gran Folies is the only beach club in Port d'Andratx. It sits on the clifftop above Cala Llamp with a saltwater pool, hammock terraces, and a Mediterranean restaurant above the sea. For the area, it's one of the best-regarded clubs on this stretch of the Mallorca coast.
If you want more options, Camp de Mar is 10 minutes east with a beach club directly on the sand at more accessible prices. An easy day trip if you're staying in Port d'Andratx.
How much does Gran Folies beach club cost?
Unreserved sunbeds run around €15-20 per day. A reserved hammock in high season costs €30. Reservations are sold per parasol, covering two sunbeds, so you can't book a single lounger.
Add food and drinks and expect to pay €60-100 per person for a full day. It's not cheap, but it's not Ibiza pricing either.
Do you need to book Gran Folies in advance?
For summer weekends, yes. Walk-ins are possible for unreserved sunbeds at €15-20, but reserved hammocks and the best terrace spots go quickly in July and August. Book a day or two ahead at beachclubgranfolies.com or call +34 971 67 10 94 to be sure of a spot.
Is Gran Folies open all year?
No. The club runs from May 1 to October 15, daily from 10:30am to 10pm, and closes completely over winter. If you're visiting Port d'Andratx outside that window, there's no beach club in the area, so check beachclubgranfolies.com before planning a shoulder-season trip.
Can you reach Gran Folies by boat?
Yes. Gran Folies arranges sea pickups from Cala Llamp if you call ahead, and several guests rate arriving this way as one of the highlights of the visit. The cove is sheltered enough to make it straightforward by boat. Call +34 971 67 10 94 to coordinate.
Is Gran Folies suitable for families?
Yes. Gran Folies has a kids' menu, high chairs, and pool access suitable for younger children. The clifftop terraces mean you'll want to watch younger kids carefully around the edges, but the pool area is genuinely family-friendly. Free parking removes the usual beach hassle.
How do I get to Port d'Andratx from Palma?
Port d'Andratx is about 30 kilometres from Palma, roughly a 30-minute drive via the MA-1. There's no direct public transport, so a hire car or taxi is the practical option. From the harbour, Gran Folies at Cala Llamp is a five-minute drive, though free parking near the club fills up quickly in peak season.
