Port d'Andratx has one beach club in Port d'Andratx, and it delivers. Gran Folies sits above the clear water of Cala Llamp, a rocky cove on Mallorca's southwest coast. No sandy beach, no DJ stage. Just tiered cliff terraces, a saltwater pool, and some of the best sea views on this stretch of coast.
The harbour town is quiet and discreet, popular with sailing crowds and second-home owners. This isn't a party destination. Prices reflect the clientele: premium by Mallorca standards, and the whole setup is more lunch-and-linger than high-volume beach club.
The club runs from May 1 through October 15, so there's nothing here in winter. If you're exploring southwest Mallorca more broadly, Andratx beach clubs at Camp de Mar are 10 minutes east, with sandy beach access and lower prices. The full Mallorca beach club circuit covers the whole island.
For local events and current visitor information across the municipality, the Visit Andratx tourism portal covers Port d'Andratx, Camp de Mar, and Sant Elm.

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.
Beach Club Gran Folies
Beach Club Gran Folies sits on the rocky hillside above Cala Llamp, a five-minute drive from Port d'Andratx harbour. The setting is the whole point. You look out over turquoise water from tiered terraces carved into the cliff, with the saltwater pool at the centre.
The pool is what guests talk about most. Hammocks line the terraces, and you can snorkel off the rocks below. The restaurant runs lunch and dinner with a Mediterranean menu covering seafood, salads, and vegetarian options, with table service throughout.
Sunbeds are available walk-in or by reservation. For summer weekends in July and August, book ahead. You can also arrive by boat: call the club and they'll arrange a water pickup from Cala Llamp.
Free parking exists nearby, though spaces get tight in peak season. Reviews lean strongly positive overall, but a consistent thread in lower-rated feedback flags the restrooms as not matching the price point. The setting and food earn the praise.
€€€ pricing. Open daily May 1 to October 15, 10:30am to 10pm.

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.
