Discover the world's finest beach clubs, personally selected and reviewed by the Sandbeds editorial team.
Each beach club in this guide is reviewed and selected by our editorial team. We don't list every available venue—only those that meet our standards for ambiance, service, quality, and experience. This is a curated guide, not an open directory.
Sandbeds This guide brings together the world's most outstanding beach clubs in one place, from historic Mediterranean icons to the newest offerings in the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Each entry in this guide includes verified information on location, atmosphere, services, approximate prices, and how to book, making it easier to decide where to spend the day than comparing dozens of open browser tabs.
We don't aim to list absolutely every beach venue that exists. Our editorial team prioritizes quality over quantity: we review each club before including it, update the information when it changes, and remove listings for venues that close or change their concept. That's the difference between an open directory and a curated guide.
A beach club is a private or semi-private space by the sea (or, in some destinations, by a pool overlooking the sea) that offers sun loungers, Balinese beds, or hammocks, bar and restaurant service, and usually background music during the day. Unlike a public beach, access typically requires a reservation, a minimum spend, or an entrance fee, in exchange for more attentive service, less crowding, and, in many cases, a private pool in addition to access to the sea.
The concept varies greatly depending on the destination. In Ibiza and Mykonos, beach clubs typically have a strong social component, with live DJs and a lively atmosphere from midday onwards. In Tulum or Bali, the approach tends to be more relaxed and aesthetically pleasing, with boutique design and gastronomy taking center stage. In Dubai, beach clubs are usually part of luxury hotel complexes, with infinity pools and premium services included in the admission price.
Each listing in this guide undergoes an editorial review process that considers several factors: the actual quality of the facilities, the consistency of service based on recent visitor reviews, the value for money, and the availability of reliable booking information. We do not accept paid listings disguised as editorial recommendations: if a club appears here, it's because it deserves to be.
We also regularly check practical information —address, phone number, opening hours, season— because we know that nothing frustrates a traveler more than arriving at a place that has changed its name, opening hours, or has simply closed.
If you're looking for a party atmosphere and live music, prioritize clubs marked with a lively or "party" profile on their listing. If you want to unwind, look for those described as "relax" or "chill-out," which usually have fewer people and softer music.
For families with children, it's worth checking if the club explicitly states that children are welcome and if it has a shallow pool or children's area. For couples, double Balinese beds are usually the most popular option. For large groups or bachelor/bachelorette parties, many clubs offer cabanas or VIP areas that can be booked in advance.
Prices vary greatly depending on the destination and season: what might cost several hundred euros for a bed in Ibiza in August could be a fraction of that price in other destinations or outside of peak season. We always recommend checking the price section of each listing as a guide and confirming the exact rate when booking.
Most premium beach clubs operate exclusively by reservation, especially during peak season. Booking in advance not only guarantees a spot, but in many cases also allows you to choose the exact location of your sunbed or lounger, which makes all the difference between being right on the beachfront or several rows back.
From Sandbeds You can request a reservation directly through our team, who will manage communication with the club on your behalf, or access each establishment's official website from its listing. For more elaborate plans—multiple days, multiple clubs, or specific needs such as accessibility or special menus—our service... Concierge can coordinate the entire itinerary.
Most beach clubs in Mediterranean climates (Ibiza, Mykonos, the Amalfi Coast, the French Riviera) operate from May to October, with July and August being peak season in terms of both atmosphere and price. In tropical destinations like Bali, Tulum, or the Caribbean, many clubs remain open year-round, with fluctuations in attendance linked more to international holidays than to the weather. In Dubai, autumn and winter (October to April) generally offer more pleasant temperatures than summer for enjoying a full day outdoors.
