Few places embody the Mediterranean fantasy quite like the Balearic island of Mallorca, with its secret turquoise coves and crystal-clear waters.

But what is a Mediterranean beach without somewhere fabulous to enjoy food, drinks and refreshing dips in the sea? Here are the best beach clubs in Mallorca—including the stylish new Mar Sea Club that just opened at the St. Regis Mardavall hotel.

While not a beach club per-se, Mar is a sophisticated new "sea club", with stunning views and a fresh gastronomic proposal based on the finest local produce from the sea. With its décor inspired by the interiors of the chic St. Regis Mardavall hotel, Mar offers excellent food, incredible panoramas and a color palette inspired by the sea and the nature that blends seamlessly with the surrounding environment. The menu places an emphasis on fresh produce of the highest quality, like Gillardeau Nikkei oysters and Perlita caviar with blinis, crème fraîche, egg and chives.

Just ten minutes from the centre of Palma, the Mardavall is not only one of the island’s most glamorous stays, it also enjoys one of the most privileged locations, situated between the cliffs and the marina of Puerto Portals. The hotel is set up to pamper its guests in every way imaginable, all the way from the 125 ultra-plush rooms and suites to the island’s only fleet of personal butlers who can be counted on to pack and unpack your luggage or even press your morning newspaper. Mar Sea Club completes an impressive food and beverage offering that also includes Es Fum Michelin-starred restaurant.

Overlooking the crystalline waters at Cala Llamp, Beach Club Gran Folies is one of the most exclusive beach clubs in Mallorca. Set on a rocky slope with the Mediterranean at its feet, its restaurants serve everything from oysters and caviar to steak and burgers. A series of different relaxation areas with sun loungers and Balinese beds are designed to deliver the perfect summer day in a magical setting. Enjoy a massage, a quiet swim in the pool or cool off in the turquoise waters of Cala Llamp, accompanied by nothing other than the soothing sound of the waves.

Visitors to this sleek beach club on the coast near Llucmajor south of Palma come to enjoy great food, superb service and an overwhelming sense of calm. A hidden oasis in a privileged setting surrounded by crystal-clear waters and ancient rock formations, this luxurious retreat is a place where time seems to stand still—somewhere to spend the day far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The late afternoon is the most magical time to kick back on one of Mhares Sea Club’s ultra-comfy Balinese beds and marvel at the beauty of the Balearic sunset.

UM Beach House is an upbeat beach club situated in the prestigious enclave of Puerto Portals. With a restaurant, deck, pool and nightclub, UM is the place to while away the sunny days and dance away the balmy nights in Mallorca. It offers a luxurious, yet relaxed, barefoot-chic bohemian vibe with Mediterranean-style décor, a music policy defined as afro house, and a menu that fuses traditional recipes with Mediterranean flavors. The result is an all-day, all-night venue serving fresh seasonal ingredients, strong drinks and banging beats in a stunning seafront setting.
