beach clubs blend sun and sea views with exceptional cuisine, top-tier beverages and first-class service. There are thousands of them across the globe, but a few stand out as truly noteworthy.
Casa Jondal
Ibiza, Spain
Casa Jondal on the southern coast of Ibiza offers respite from the club-thumping vibes that are common throughout the island. It's nearly always busy during the season thanks to its fabulous sandy lounge space that blends into a shaded dining area, where you're able to order a deep-fried whole fish, acorn-fed Iberian ham and caviar.
Gitano
Tulum Beach, Mexico
This beach club offers a level of privacy that can be hard to find in popular Tulum. It's on 120 meters of private, white-sand beach next to the Sian Ka'an biosphere reserve. The club features a restaurant and lounge area right on the water, where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served.
Scorpios
Mykonos, Greece
Ocean, sky, sand and relaxing vibes converge on the Cycladic coastline. Scorpios' restaurant welcomes diners for long meals, alfresco. Relaxation is the name of the game during the day, but at night artists and DJs take over the manicured terrace.
Yazz Collective
Fethiye, Turkey
Accessible only by boat, this remote hideaway focuses on connecting art, nature and personal experiences. The eco-conscious oasis offers services for unwinding but guests can also enjoy the serenity of the sea while lounging on a sunbed at the shore. For access, a two-night minimum stay at the hotel is required.
Carpe Diem Beach
Hvar, Croatia
This Pakleni Islands hangout allows for activities and relaxation in a space spanning two beaches, and is reachable only by boat. Luxury sunbeds, freshly caught seafood, diving, transparent kayaking, natural shade and a pool are among the daytime highlights. At 5 p.m., the Terranza After Beach Program kicks off.
Tresanton Beach Club
St. Mawes, England
This terraced shoreside locale provides a touch of Mediterranean elegance in the U.K. Sitting across the street from the Tresanton Hotel, the club allows sunbathers to enjoy the surrounds while nibbling and sipping selections from the menu. The hotel's 1930s Italian racing yacht, Pinuccia, can be tendered out.
Nammos
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Tucked into a nook on the Persian Gulf, the vibes of Greek beach culture mix with the opulence of Dubai at Jumeirah Beach. The lavish luxury experience is seaside splendor that blends mixology with gastronomy, all with the city skyline as a backdrop.
Potato Head
Seminyak, Bali
Relax and catch rays on the edge of the Indian Ocean, where swimming during the day can lead to dancing the night away. An extensive drinks menu and several restaurants to choose from make the club a quintessential escape from reality.
La Guérite
Cannes, France
Only accessible by boat, this legendary spot is part lunch, part day party, and entirely scene-y in the best way. Arrive chic, leave barefoot.
Loulou Ramatuelle
Saint-Tropez, France
If Saint-Tropez slipped into vintage Celine and spun French disco all afternoon, this would be it. It's chic but breezy—perfect for a long lunch that casually turns into cocktails and a little barefoot dancing.
Phi Beach
Sardinia, Italy
This spot has major drama—in the best way. Carved into the cliffs, it's mellow during the day and turns into a full-blown (but still tasteful) party spot at night. The kind of place where you dance with strangers and drink good wine under the stars.
