In collaboration with Esteban Sánchez, the owner of Live Mallorca Charter, we have listed some of our clients´ favourite beach clubs and restaurants in south west Mallorca for boat/tender service.
- Gran Follies
Address: C/ Tintorera S/N, Cala Llamp
Nestled on the rocky shores of Cala Llamp, Gran Follies isn’t just a beach club; it’s a gastronomic paradise not to be missed. With a reputation for outstanding cuisine and impeccable service, this gem offers a delectable Mediterranean menu that complements its breath-taking surroundings. Whether you’re savouring fresh seafood, indulging in paella, or enjoying traditional Spanish dishes, their chef Alex Arquero and his team are set on continuously enhancing certain flavours and adapting the classics to the gastronomic trends of the moment.
- Nikki Beach
Address: Av. Notari Alemany, 1, Magaluf, Calvià
Nikki Beach in Calvià Beach/Magaluf needs no introduction in the yachting world. Besides their legendary parties, they offer some seriously good food. Their chefs “mix fresh, locally sourced ingredients with innovative recipes representative of dishes from around the world” in order to appeal to their global clientele. They are best known for their inimitable sushi boats, while their newly opened wine cellar, ‘Gallinas y Focas,’ features exceptional local wines, adding to the dining experience.
- Es Raor
Address: Av. Rey Jaume l 48, Sant Elm
Es Raor, a beloved establishment with a history that is over a quarter of a century long, captures the essence of Mallorcan cuisine with a focus on fish and seafood. Located in a charming coastal setting, with the close up view of Sa Dragonera, it’s a haven for seafood enthusiasts. Here you will savour the taste of the sea with Es Raor’s expertly crafted dishes, featuring the freshest catches and traditional flavours that reflect the island’s culinary heritage. Their Mussels with Clar sauce, dreamed up by one of the owners Pedro Clar, are up there with my favourite dishes on the island! What sets this place apart from the others, particularly if you opt to dine in, is their incredible customer service – super-efficient yet friendly, almost familial.
- Karibu Beach
Address: C/ Martin Ros Garcia 18A, Torrenova
At the tranquil end of Calvià Beach, where El Ultimo Paraiso reigned for years, Karibu Beach is the exciting newcomer to Mallorca’s beach club scene. Elegant and welcoming, Karibu offers a friendly and familiar vibe. With its restaurant, swimming pool, sunbeds, and Balinese chill-out beds, Karibu provides a serene beachside dining experience. Their Mediterranean cuisine, prepared with great care by Chef Arcadio Perez, showcases the best of the island’s flavours, while almost every dish comes with a surprising variation of flavours and textures. Have you ever tried smoked salmon with blueberry sauce? Or a burrata salad with Mallorcan almonds? You can at Karibu Beach!
- Calvia Beach House
Address: C/ Cala Blanca 7, Magaluf
Another newly unveiled establishment for 2023, Calvia Beach House promises to be a highlight of Mallorca’s culinary landscape. Situated in a prime beachfront location in Son Matias, it offers a boho-chic luxury vibe and an international menu from six continents, each dish promising a delightful twist. Oysters with gin and tonic pearls, tantalizing turbot, and a medley of beach-inspired delicacies bring the seaside mood to your plate. My favourite here are Mexican pulled beef tacos; I would happily have one a day for the rest of my life! What truly sets this beachfront restaurant apart is its exceptionally professional service. Although in its first season, this place is quickly becoming a favourite for charter agents and boat owners in this corner of the world.
