Arriving at a Beach Club by Yacht: The Ultimate Mallorca Experience
There's something undeniably special about arriving at a beach club by yacht. While other guests navigate traffic and hunt for parking, you glide in from the sea, anchor in the turquoise water, and step ashore via tender. It's the quintessential Mallorca luxury experience — and one of the most popular requests from our charter guests.
Mallorca's coastline is dotted with world-class beach clubs, many of which offer dedicated yacht services including complimentary pontoons, tender pick-up, and VIP priority seating. Here's our captain's guide to the best beach clubs accessible by yacht.
The Top Beach Clubs
1. Nikki Beach Mallorca — Calvià
Located between Port Adriano and Puerto Portals on the southwest coast, Nikki Beach Mallorca is part of the global Nikki Beach empire. The club offers complimentary pontoon service and yacht pick-up — simply radio ahead and their team will meet you.
What to expect: Legendary pool parties, Mediterranean cuisine, premium cocktails, DJ sessions, and the signature Nikki Beach white-and-orange aesthetic. The Sunday brunch is particularly popular.
Best approach: Anchor off Magaluf beach and take the tender, or use the club's pontoon service.
2. Gran Folies Beach Club — Cala Llamp, Port d'Andratx
Perched on the cliffs of Cala Llamp near Port d'Andratx, Gran Folies is one of Mallorca's most exclusive beach clubs. The dramatic cliffside setting, with direct access to crystal-clear water, makes it a favourite of the yachting crowd.
What to expect: High-end Mediterranean dining, private event spaces, direct beach access via steps carved into the cliff, and a sophisticated atmosphere without the party scene.
Best approach: Anchor in Cala Llamp (sandy bottom, good holding) and swim or tender to the club's beach.
3. Beso Beach Mallorca — Playa de Formentor
Set on the legendary Formentor Beach — one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean — Beso Beach brings Balearic dining to an extraordinary setting. The pine-fringed white sand and turquoise water create a backdrop that rivals the Caribbean.
What to expect: Balearic-Mediterranean cuisine, beachfront dining with your feet in the sand, cocktails, and a relaxed but refined atmosphere.
Best approach: Anchor off Formentor Beach (check Posidonia maps — sandy patches available) and tender to shore.
4. Mhares Sea Club — South Coast, near Llucmajor
Hidden on the south coast cliffs near Llucmajor, Mhares is Mallorca's most nature-focused beach club. The infinity pool appears to merge with the Mediterranean, and the setting — wild cliffs, no development in sight — is breathtaking.
What to expect: Cliffside infinity pool, sunset views, relaxed luxury, Mediterranean cuisine, and a genuine sense of escape.
Best approach: Anchor off the south coast and tender to the club's small jetty (call ahead to confirm availability).
5. Purobeach Illetas
One of Mallorca's original beach clubs, Purobeach Illetas overlooks Palma Bay from the upscale Illetas coastline. Just 10 minutes from Palma by yacht, it's perfect for a half-day charter.
What to expect: DJ sessions, Mediterranean fusion cuisine, cocktail bar, day beds, and panoramic views across Palma Bay.
Best approach: Anchor off Illetas beach (very close to Palma, sandy bottom) and tender to shore.
Waterfront Restaurants Worth the Detour
