A scenic coastal route from Palma Bay or Portals Nous to Cala Llamp, combining relaxed cruising along Mallorca’s southwest coast with a shore visit to Beach Club Gran Folies
Departing from Palma Bay or Portals Nous, the route follows one of the most visually striking sections of Mallorca’s southwest coastline. The cruise to Cala Llamp typically takes around 40 to 50 minutes, passing dramatic cliffs, quiet coves, distinctive rock formations and coastal lighthouses, with the Tramuntana mountains forming a constant backdrop along the horizon.
As the coastline opens up, the character of the sea gradually changes from deep blue to lighter turquoise and emerald tones, especially in wider bays and sheltered areas. The pace of the journey is unhurried, allowing time to appreciate the scenery and, conditions permitting, to pause along the way for swimming or time at anchor.
To experience the route comfortably without feeling rushed, this itinerary is most often chosen for longer daytime charters. This allows space in the schedule for relaxed navigation, water time and a shore stop without compressing the day into a tight timeline.
On arrival at Cala Llamp, the boat anchors in calm, clear waters framed by steep rocky walls. Guests typically spend time swimming, sunbathing on deck or enjoying the sheltered anchorage before heading ashore. Access to Beach Club Gran Folies is arranged by tender directly from the boat, creating a smooth transition from time on the water to time on land.At Beach Club Gran Folies, the day naturally slows down.
Guests enjoy lunch, drinks and time by the sea while the skipper and boat remain nearby. The combination of anchorage and shore visit makes Cala Llamp a popular stop for those looking to balance cruising with a relaxed coastal break.
After the visit, guests return to the boat by tender and begin the cruise back toward Palma Bay or Portals Nous. The return leg is often timed for the softer light of the late afternoon, when the cliffs and coves take on warmer tones and the coastline reveals a different character on the way back to port.
Throughout the day, the final timing and sequence of stops are adjusted by the skipper based on sea conditions and the overall pace of the charter, ensuring a smooth and well-balanced itinerary from departure to return.
