Beach clubs in Sant Elm
A quiet corner of southwest Mallorca with Dragonera Island views and one solid beach club.
Sant Elm is one of the quietest coastal villages on Mallorca's southwest coast. It sits at the end of the road, literally, with the uninhabited island of Sa Dragonera rising from the water just offshore. There's one beach club in Sant Elm worth knowing about.
The village is small. A handful of restaurants, a sandy beach, and a laid-back crowd that skews more local than tourist. If you're after the mega-club scene, head to Port d'Andratx or the south coast. Sant Elm is for people who want to slow down.
The Balearic Islands tourism portal lists Sant Elm as a natural area of interest, and the views across to Dragonera are the main draw. Most beach clubs on Mallorca operate from April or May through October, and Sant Elm follows that pattern.
