Beach clubs in Viladecans means one thing: Mamut Beach Club. It sits at the end of a pine-lined track behind the Murtra beach, a 2.4 km stretch of sand on the Baix Llobregat coast, about 15 km south of Barcelona.
Mamut is a Catalan grill restaurant that happens to be on the beach. Paella and calçots drive the repeat visits; the music and sunbeds are secondary. Expect to spend €30-50 per person for a full lunch with drinks, which makes it one of the more affordable beach dining options on this stretch of coast.
The beach sits within the Baix Llobregat natural area, which limits development along the shoreline and keeps it quieter than the beaches closer to Barcelona. Free parking on site and good train connections make it a realistic half-day trip without a car.

Is Mamut Beach Club worth visiting from Barcelona?
For food, yes. It's about 30 minutes by car from central Barcelona, and Mamut does the kind of traditional Catalan grill cooking that's genuinely hard to find on the city's waterfront. Free parking, €30-50 per person, and a quieter beach make it better value than most comparable lunch options in the city itself.
The setting is natural rather than polished. The Murtra beach is backed by pine forest and protected dunes, with no promenade or bar strip. If you want a pool club with DJs, this isn't it.
Do you need to book Mamut Beach Club in advance?
For weekends, yes. Saturday lunch fills up from April through October, and reservations are recommended for brunch, lunch, and dinner. You can book by phone on +34 663 61 08 61 or through their website.
Mid-week from Wednesday to Thursday, walk-ins have a better chance. The club is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Mamut Beach Club

Mamut Beach Club is on Camí de la Murtra, right where the pine forest meets the sand. You enter through the legs of a giant mammoth sculpture, which sets the tone: casual, a bit eccentric, confident in what it is. The crowd skews local and loyal rather than tourist.
Paella is what people come for. During calçot season (roughly November through March), the calçotada menu takes over, with Catalan spring onions grilled over coals and served with romesco sauce. The rest of the year, the kitchen does grilled meats, mussels, espetos, and mar i muntanya.
The club opens Wednesday to Sunday from noon. Fridays and Saturdays run until 1am, with live music and DJs from the afternoon. It's dog-friendly, fully wheelchair accessible, has a dedicated kids' menu, and offers free parking on site.
Service and atmosphere draw consistent praise across the reviews. It's one of the better-reviewed beach dining spots within striking distance of Barcelona.
