1RESTAURANTS Gran Folies Beach<br />
Club, close to the south western<br />
city of Andratx and the coast<br />
known as Cala Llamp, offers the beautiful,<br />
raw essence of Mallorca.<br />
When you first reach the small bay, with<br />
its palm-frond parasols and honey-tinted<br />
houses clinging to the sheer cliffs to keep<br />
from falling into the wild sea, it looks like<br />
the tropical beach club. This is, unsurprisingly,<br />
a popular postcard view.<br />
The entire village is owned by Gran<br />
Folies but you don’t have to stay here to<br />
get access to the beach club (open 10am-<br />
midnight) with its spa treatments, saltwater<br />
pool, bar and 130-seat restaurant run by<br />
head chef José Marín.<br />
It’s a perfect place to stop before or after<br />
a visit to Mallorca’s equally dramatic west<br />
coast, so park your car, get a table under<br />
the parasols and order the Beach Club’s<br />
signature dish – saffron-rich Paella Marisco.<br />
With its oh-so-fresh squid and cockles, it<br />
tastes as fresh and natural as the view of<br />
the wild blue Mediterranean.<br />
