7 Most Luxurious Family Friendly Beach Clubs in Mallorca
Let’s glide through the list of Mallorca’s most family-friendly luxurious beach clubs.
1. Anssia Gastrobeach Club (formerly Assaona)
If you’ve been to Mallorca before, you might remember this place as Assaona — it’s rebranded as Anssia Gastrobeach Club, but the location and the magic are the same. Anssia sits on the beachfront in Portitxol, just five minutes from the centre of Palma, with views of the cathedral across the bay. The sunbeds are on the sand right by the water — no cliff scramble, no rocky access — which makes it perfect for families with smaller children who want to paddle and play without drama.
The food has levelled up since the rebrand. Fresh fish, excellent sushi, and a Mediterranean-Japanese fusion menu that actually works. I’d order the turbot sashimi if it’s on, and the cocktails are genuinely well-crafted (the team behind the bar has a real following). For families, the relaxed vibe is the selling point — there’s no velvet-rope energy here. Kids are welcome, the staff are patient, and you can easily spend a full day from morning coffee to sunset aperitivo.
- Location: Passeig Portitxol, s/n, Palma
- Sunbed cost: ~€25–€35/day
- Parking: On-site parking available (rare for Palma beach clubs)
- Book ahead: Yes, especially weekends in summer. Walk-ins possible early morning.
2. Balneario Illetas
Balneario Illetas has been around since 1958 — which in beach club years makes it practically ancient. It’s survived every trend and rebrand cycle on the island because it does the basics exceptionally well: comfortable sunbeds on a beautiful beach, good food, and service that’s warm without being overbearing. The location is stunning — tucked into a small bay in Illetas, just a short drive from Palma, with clear turquoise water and views across to the Illa de Sa Porrassa.
For families, the appeal is the combination of proper beach access (sandy, shallow entry) and club-level comfort. There’s a spa if you want a massage while the kids build sandcastles, a boutique for last-minute holiday purchases, and a restaurant where the wood-oven dishes are genuinely worth ordering — not the afterthought you get at most beach clubs. The fact that it’s been operating for nearly seventy years tells you everything about consistency.
- Location: Illetas, ~15 minutes from central Palma
- Sunbed cost: ~€20–€30/day
- Kid-friendly features: Sandy beach with shallow entry, family-friendly restaurant, relaxed pace
- Book ahead: Recommended in summer — sunbeds sell out by mid-morning
Going to Palma? These are the best bars and rooftop bars in Mallorca.
3. The Gran Folies
If you’re looking for beach clubs in Mallorca with kids that also feel special, Gran Folies strikes the balance — the pool is safe for children, and the setting makes parents feel like they’re on holiday too. To get to the club’s shaded lunch areas from the marina, yacht passengers must call the club, and a launch will be sent out.
Both the meal and the service are top-notch. You can have a massage on top of renting one of the sunbeds. The only not-so-great thing about the club is that there is not more than one bathroom, and you have to wait for your turn.
Grand Folies is located in one of the prettiest villages of Mallorca, discover more here!
4. The Blue Nest | Family friendly beach clubs Mallorca
At the Blue Nest, you are welcome to have your favorite lunch or dinner in front of Mallorca‘s picture-perfect sunset at any time. You’re surrounded by gleaming yachts, modern architecture, and the kind of quiet that comes from being slightly off the main tourist trail. For families, it’s a more polished alternative to the busier beach clubs closer to Palma.
The Blue Nest Beach Club is well-known for its expertly crafted cocktails. While pampered by the staff, you can relax to the soothing sound of the sail masts gently swinging in the breeze. Complement your drink with one of the freshly made snacks, which feature both regional and foreign specialties. All this, makes it one of the beach family friendly beach clubs in Mallorca.
- Location: Port Adriano, Calvià
- Sunbed cost: Not a traditional sunbed setup — restaurant/lounge seating
- Kid-friendly features: Relaxed marina setting, family-welcome policy, varied menu
- Book ahead: Recommended for lunch, especially weekends

5. Puro Beach Club
In addition to its alfresco restaurant, Puro Beach also features a bar and a bar/lounge on its indoor/outdoor bar/terrace. All 109 sunbeds here have a view of the water, and four are Balinese. The vibe is loungy without being pretentious, and the DJ sets in the afternoon hit the right level — background enough to relax to, but good enough to actually enjoy.
For families, Puro works best during the daytime hours. The pool is well-maintained, the food is solid (Mediterranean menu, fresh juices, good cocktails for the parents), and the staff are used to kids. There’s also a spa if you want to squeeze in a massage while your partner takes over beach duty. The locker rooms with showers are a small but genuine luxury when you’re wrangling sandy children at the end of the day.
They have locations in Illetas and Palma (plus Marbella and Barcelona, but we’re here for Mallorca). The Illetas spot is the better family choice — more space, calmer water access, and a proper poolside area.
- Location: Illetas (main) and Palma
- Sunbed cost: ~€30–€50/day depending on location (Balinese beds higher)
- Kid-friendly features: Pool, spa, locker rooms with showers, Balinese beds for families
- Book ahead: Essential in summer — book online via their website

6. Ponderosa Beach
Ponderosa Beach sits right on the sand at Playa de Muro — one of the largest and most beautiful beaches in Mallorca, voted top 3 in Europe by Travellers’ Choice. The water here is shallow and calm, which means smaller children can paddle and play without you having an anxiety attack every thirty seconds. That alone puts it on this list.
But the food is what sets Ponderosa apart from your average beach chiringuito. Their paella is one of the best on the island (I don’t say that lightly), the fresh fish is excellent, and the menu follows a ‘0km Slow Food’ concept — local ingredients, seasonal dishes, nothing flown in from the other side of the continent. You order at a proper table with your toes in the sand, and the service is friendly and unhurried.
It’s more beach restaurant than full beach club — there’s no pool or spa — but for families who want a beautiful beach, great food, and the kind of relaxed atmosphere where nobody blinks at a sandy toddler, Ponderosa is hard to beat. It gets booked up fast in summer, so reserve ahead.
- Location: Playa de Muro, Ses Casetes des Capellans, Alcúdia
- Sunbed cost: Sunbeds available on the beach (~€10–€15)
- Kid-friendly features: Shallow calm water, sandy beach, highchairs, relaxed atmosphere
7. Nikki Beach Club
Nikki Beach Club Mallorca has become one of the most well-known club names on the planet. It is a luxurious beach club in Magaluf, famous for its trendy parties and clientele.
Nikki Beach Mallorca, located on one of the island’s largest and busiest white sand beaches, features direct beach access and plush beach chairs and beds by the pool and across the borderline of the beach. Relaxed party vibes are maintained all day long by a DJ spinning laid-back tunes. You won’t want to leave after a day at Nikki Beach Mallorca, a wonderful restaurant with a stunning pool and beach views.
Family-friendly beach clubs
Finding great family friendly beach clubs in Mallorca shouldn’t require trial and error — especially when you’re travelling with kids and a bad choice means a wasted afternoon. These seven clubs are the ones I’d send any family to without hesitation. Anssia for sandy-beach ease near Palma, Gran Folies for dramatic cove beauty in Andratx, Balneario Illetas for old-school charm, and the others for their own particular magic. Whichever you choose, book your sunbeds in advance during summer, bring reef-safe sunscreen, and don’t skip the pa amb oli.
Finding great family friendly beach clubs in Mallorca shouldn’t be this hard — but most listicles include clubs that are about as kid-friendly as a nightclub. These seven are the ones where your family will actually have a good time.

I was searching in hope to find a beachclub with pool where I could chill with my daughter, she’s 11 and we are at the Island right now for 2 weeks. All of the beach clubs only accept entrance with kids age 16+. If someone has the golden tip, please let me know!
Puro beach, Nikki beach and a few others, refuse entrance unfortunatteky
I would love to visit one of these beach clubs next summer!
This is such a great and helpful list! I’ve never been to Mallorca, but now I kind of want to book a trip just to lounge at some of these beach clubs. Adding to my ‘someday’ travel list—thanks for the inspiration!
These resorts sound so lovely!
I like the sound of Balnearios Illetas, traditional yet with super friendly service and excellent food.
