The best beach clubs in Mallorca are concentrated in the Bay of Palma (Portixol, Can Pere Antoni, Cala Estancia) and on the Calvià coast. Most open from 11:00 AM to midnight, feature DJs from mid-afternoon, and charge between €0 and €50 depending on the day and area. They are the perfect plan for linking sunset and night: you start with a drink by the water and finish by dancing.
There's a moment, around seven in the evening, when a beach club has it all. The sun is setting, the DJ is turning up the beat, and people are starting to get up from their sun loungers. That exact point between a day at the beach and a night out is what makes beach clubs in Mallorca so special. They're not just about sunbeds and mojitos: they're the prelude to the best night of the summer. In this guide, we'll tell you which ones are worth visiting by area, how much they cost, and how to make the most of them so you don't miss out on the party that follows.
What is a beach club and how does it differ from a nightclub in Mallorca?
A beach club is a beachfront establishment that combines a restaurant, a sun lounger or Balinese bed area, a swimming pool or sea access, and live music from a DJ, typically from the afternoon. Unlike a nightclub, its prime time is during the day and sunset, not the early hours of the morning.
The difference isn't just about the time. At a beach club, you go in swimwear or beachwear, you eat, you swim, and the music gradually gets louder. At a nightclub, you arrive at night, dressed up, and the plan is to dance. That's why many people do the full circuit: an afternoon at the beach club and, when it closes, a move to a club. If this is exactly your plan, you'll also be interested in finding out about the Palma Bay nightclubs where night continues.
What are the best beach clubs in Mallorca by area?
Mallorca has beach clubs dotted all along its coast, but those with a more festive atmosphere are concentrated in the Bay of Palma and in Calvià. Here's a quick snapshot by area and style:
| Beach club | Area | Environment |
|---|---|---|
| Anima Beach | Can Pere Antoni (Palma) | Urban, near the centre, DJ at sunset |
| Nassau Beach | Portixol (Palma) | Chic, long scenes and glasses |
| Puro Beach | Cala Estancia | Sunset sessions, international audience |
| Nikki Beach | Calvià | Glamour, themed parties |
| Mhares Sea Club | Majorca | Cliffside views, DJ from 6pm |
| Numa Beach | Playa de Muro (North) | Familiar by day, lively in the evening. |
Each area has its own crowd. Portixol and Can Pere Antoni are just a stone's throw from the centre of Palma, making them perfect if you want to continue into the city afterwards. The Calvià area is more about long days out and glamour. And if you're staying in the north, Playa de Muro will save you the journey.

How much does it cost to enter a beach club in Mallorca?
Entry to most beach clubs in Mallorca is free during the week, but on weekends and for events with guest DJs, there is an entrance fee or a minimum spend of between €15 and €50 in 2026. What really costs money is the bed: a sun lounger is around €20-30, and a Bali bed can cost €150-300 per day.
It is worth distinguishing three things. Entry to the venue, which is often free. The minimum consumption, common at special summer events. And the rental of a sun lounger or bed, which is what determines the final ticket price. As a reference for the price level of leisure on the island, a place like Lunita in Can Pastilla entry costs around €10 without a drink. At a premium beach club on a Saturday in August, a Balinese bed with a bottle included easily exceeds €200.
The party at the beach club starts from dusk till night.
The real party at a beach club kicks off at sunset, between 6pm and 8pm, when the DJ switches from ambient music to more danceable sets. This is the slot known as the sunset session and it's the liveliest time of the day.
Mallorca has an advantage: in the height of summer, the sun doesn't set until around 9:30 p.m., so the sunset is prolonged. That long golden hour is precisely what DJs take advantage of. People who have been at the beach stay, those who have come just for the session arrive, and the venue fills up. When the beach club closes, around midnight, many people don't go home: a second act is set up in a nightclub. Our programme of Summer festivals in Mallorca capture precisely those events that link late and night.
Which beach clubs have DJs and a party atmosphere in Palma?
In Palma, the beach clubs with the best party atmosphere are in the Portixol and El Molinar area, where the "sea-club" format blends dinner, drinks, and a DJ set by the sea. This is the stretch that best connects daytime plans with nighttime going out.
This is where Palma Events programme includes some of its events. The club Mar Salada, in that coastal area, it serves as a meeting point between the afternoon beach club and the nightlife, with its Boutique session on Fridays. If you want to know what's happening each weekend in this specific area, we detail it in our guide to nightclubs in Portixol and El Molinar. The key: in summer, the atmosphere isn't just about the venue, but also about the event taking place that day.
How to book a Balinese bed or entry to a beach club in Mallorca?
Booking in advance is almost mandatory during peak season. With the Balearic Islands receiving more visitors each year —1.63 million by April 2026 alone, a 7.1% increase on Q3—, the best beds fly at the weekend. Here are the steps:
- Choose the beach club and day according to the event or DJ you're interested in.
- Check their website or Instagram to see if there's a special session that day.
- Book the bed or table online; for big events, buy tickets in advance.
- Please confirm the minimum consumption and if a bottle is included.
- Arrive before sunset to get a spot for the session.
A tip from an island party organiser: for evening events that take place after the beach club, buy your tickets in advance. They sell out, and paying on the door – when available – costs more. In our Full events agenda in Mallorca you can secure yours with days to spare.
When is NOT the best option to go to a beach club
A beach club isn't always the ideal plan. If you're looking to dance reggaeton or urban music until six in the morning, you'll be disappointed: the format is more about sunset than late night. If you're on a tight budget on a Saturday in August, the premium beds can rocket the spending. And if you want a more intimate cocktail bar atmosphere, the centre of Palma is a better fit. In those cases, look directly at the Santa Catalina nightclubs our guide to where to go clubbing in Mallorca.

Individual sun loungers are more affordable, costing between €20 and €30. During peak season on weekends, it's essential to book in advance as the best beds sell out quickly.

The best atmosphere in a Mallorcan beach club is during sunset, between 18:00 and 21:00, during the so-called sunset session. In summer, the sun sets around 21:30, so this window extends, and it's when the DJ plays the most danceable sets and the venue fills up before the night.
