Beach Club Gran Folies sits in a rocky cove just outside Port d'Andratx on Mallorca's southwest coast. It's built into the cliffs above a small bay, with direct water access and water clear enough for snorkeling.
It's the main pick in our guide to beach clubs in Port d'Andratx, which also covers where to stay.
The pool is the main draw. Hammocks and deck chairs line the terraces around it, and parasols keep things shaded. You can reach the club by boat if you call ahead. The rocky cove setting means there's no sandy beach, but the scenery makes up for it.
Prices are at the $$$ level, which is on the higher side. Reservations are accepted and worth making in peak season. Free parking is available nearby, but finding a space is usually tricky.
Rated 4.2 from 2,749 reviews. Around 60% of guests give it five stars, and 79% rate it four or above. A handful of lower reviews flag the restrooms as not matching the price point.

Food & Drinks at Beach Club Gran Folies
The kitchen runs Mediterranean, with lunch and dinner service covering seafood, salads and vegetarian options. A salad bar handles lighter bites, and dessert is on the menu too. Late-night food means there's no rush to leave.
Cocktails are well represented at the bar, alongside wine, beer and coffee. One guest who arrived by boat described the food as "great" and the experience as well worth the trip.
