BRUFOLS BEACH CLUB

Brufols Beach Club sits right off the beach road in Tavernes de la Valldigna, a quieter stretch of Valencia's coastline. It's part restaurant, part pool club, with live entertainment that pulls a local crowd.

The pool is the main draw. It comes up in 40 guest reviews, and the space around it doubles as the social hub for sunbeds, drinks and music. DJs play regularly, and the vibe skews family-friendly. Kids have their own area, so parents can actually relax.

Food leans Mediterranean. Paella gets mentioned by name in reviews, and the kitchen serves both lunch and dinner with table service. Cocktails and beer round out the drinks list. Guests rate the overall experience 4.3/5, so the food holds up.

Reservations are required. There's free parking on site, which is a plus since the area isn't exactly walkable. The club also hosts comedy nights, with monologue shows popping up in several reviews. One guest called the dinner-and-show combo "spectacular."

Rated 4.3 from 243 Google reviews, with 68% giving five stars. A small group (about 9%) left one star, so it's not universally loved, but the majority clearly enjoy it. Worth checking if you're in the area and want more than just a beach towel on the sand.
