Hailey Bieber Chooses Gran Folies for Her Major Event in Mallorca

Bea OKG — Thu, 10 Jul 2025 15:38:09 +0000

This summer at Gran Folies Beach Club, we had the privilege of hosting a truly special moment: Hailey Bieber chose our home in Cala Llamp to unveil one of her most highly anticipated launches. The model and founder of beauty brand Rhode brought to life the Rhode Summer Club, a Mediterranean-inspired pop-up created to celebrate summer in style.

For several weeks, Hailey and her team worked tirelessly on this deeply personal project, which culminated in an exclusive event at our beach club. It was an absolute honor for us to be part of this experience—one that not only brought together some of today’s most influential personalities but also placed Mallorca and Gran Folies firmly on the international lifestyle map.

A Summer-Infused Transformation

For the occasion, our beach club was transformed with meticulous detail: grey and yellow loungers, custom-designed umbrellas, branded towels, and a fresh, sun-kissed atmosphere that perfectly captured the Rhode aesthetic. All of it was designed with a clear goal in mind: to present the new Lemontini shade of the brand’s iconic Peptide Lip Tint, inspired by the citrus energy of a perfect summer cocktail.

The private event, held on Tuesday, July 8, welcomed a curated guest list of international influencers and top models. The atmosphere was intimate, elegant, and thoughtfully curated—with signature cocktails, music, and personalized gifts designed just for the occasion.

Mallorca, a Rising Iconic Destination

Hailey and Justin Bieber didn’t just choose Mallorca as a private getaway, but as the ideal setting to debut this exciting launch. And we couldn’t be prouder that Gran Folies was the place where it all came to life. Every detail of the Rhode Summer Club was crafted to embrace the sun, the sea, and the breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds us—all with that effortless sophistication that defines both Rhode and our own identity.

Experience Rhode at Gran Folies

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Hailey Bieber and the entire Rhode team for trusting us. It has been a true pleasure to collaborate with such an influential brand and to bring to life such a memorable experience.

And of course, our deepest gratitude goes to our own team, whose dedication, coordination, and professionalism made this event flawless. Without them, none of this would have been possible.

At Gran Folies, we’ll continue to champion projects that, like this one, blend creativity, beauty, and authenticity. Because Mallorca isn’t just a destination—it’s a way of life. And we’re here to celebrate it.

Mallorca in 3 days

Patricia Garcia — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 09:15:59 +0000

Very few islands in the world have captivated as many illustrious and anonymous travellers as Mallorca, the island of rosemary-scented mountains and hidden coves keeping the secrets of the Mediterranean. This is the place where Frédéric Chopin and George Sand found their sublime inspiration. “This is the most beautiful country I have ever seen. It’s paradise”. It’s the place where Ana María Matute discovered her blue refuge of silence. Where Joan Miró found serenity at last. But Mallorca isn’t visited: it’s unravelled. That’s why we’re here. To tell you what to see in Mallorca in 3 days to really understand it.

The best things to do in Mallorca in 3 days

From the beautiful city of Palma to the villages of Tramuntana and a multitude of beaches and coves where time stands still. Mallorca is home to unforgettable places to visit all around the island. This is your guide to Mallorca in 3 days.

Palma

Palma de Mallorca is a city brimming with history. From the Romans. The Vandals. The Arabs. And the Christians. This coming and going of civilisations has left a unique architectural imprint on the city: just stroll its streets to discover beautiful places such as the Plaza de Cort, the Plaza Mayor, the Jewish quarter of Carrer del Call and Carrer de Sant Feliu. But we recommend four must-sees on your wanders:

La Seu Cathedral

Also known as the Cathedral-Basilica of Santa Maria, or simply as Mallorca Cathedral, it’s worth visiting first thing in the morning to contemplate its Gothic splendour. The exterior leaves an impression with its rose window, one of the largest in the world at 13 metres in diameter. The interior, refurbished by Gaudí at the beginning of the 20th century with modernist touches and a mural painted by Miquel Barceló in one of its side chapels, even more so.

Palacio de la Almudaina

After the Cathedral, your next stop should be the Palacio de la Almudaina in the same morning. A former royal residence overlooking the sea, its walls bear witness to the history of the Middle Ages on the island, combining Muslim, Gothic, Renaissance and Romanesque features. Outstanding gems here include its Gothic gallery with pointed arches, the Tinell room, the chapel of Santa Ana and all the traditional Andalusian elements such as its Arab baths. A symbol of the city.

Fundación Miró Mallorca

Fundación Miró is a museum that pays tribute to the great artist Joan Miró and his very special bond with the island. It houses a collection of more than 6,000 works including paintings, sculptures, drawings, sketches, photographs and much more. Moreover, its location multiplies the beauty; it’s situated on a hillside of Genoa, overlooking the sea and surrounded by Mediterranean wildlife.

Castell de Bellver

The Castell de Bellver is a Gothic castle with the distinction of being the only round castle in Spain and one of the few in Europe. And that’s not all: it’s also a very unusual fortress as it harmoniously combines the defensive with the palatial. Its slender columns and pointed arches are a living testimony to the Mediterranean Gothic style. At 112 metres above sea level, it’s well worth a visit.

Beaches and Coves

Mallorca is much more than beaches and coves, but it’s undoubtedly a place of picture postcard beaches and coves. The only problem is that there are dozens and dozens that warrant a visit, so a 3-day itinerary for Mallorca requires selection. These are our winners:

Cala Llamp: Beach Club Gran Folies

The most crystal-clear waters. The most exciting caves. And Beach Club Gran Folies, our luxury beach club perched on a hillside with sea views, pool, Balinese beds and Mediterranean cuisine with an international twist; the perfect place to enjoy an outdoor romantic dinner in Mallorca in a restaurant in Puerto de Andratx, chill out music and an idyllic relaxing atmosphere. One of the best experiences to give as a gift in Mallorca.

Cala Mondragó

A cove of fine white sand and turquoise waters hidden among pine trees and low cliffs. Cala Mondragó is an untouched cove located in a natural park. It’s a ten-minute walk from the car park. From Cala Mondragó, follow a footpath surrounded by native plant life to reach Cala S’Amarador, which is even wilder and more isolated. Escape the urban. Building and noise-free.

Caló des Moro

This is one of Mallorca’s most photographed coves. Small and remote, it’s ideal for snorkelling as the crystal-clear water boasts outstanding visibility and many fish live close to the rocky walls. A magical place with its colours, diminutive size and the light that envelopes it. You’ll need to walk down a steep slope to get there. Good footwear is required.

Villages of the Sierra de Tramuntana

After a first day of more conventional cultural tourism and a second day of total enjoyment between Balinese beds with sea views and exquisite food, comes a third day of rural tourism. In any 3-day itinerary in Mallorca, the villages of the Sierra de Tramuntana are a must-see: a spectacular combination of history and nature.

Valldemosa

It was here in its Charterhouse that Chopin and Sand spent that wonderful winter which inspired them for the rest of their lives. Highlights include its cobbled streets, small stone houses with green shutters and flower pots, and the serenity that only the rural world preserves. Another of Mallorca’s spots that’s perfect for enjoying the sunset. The views here of the valley and the sea in the distance are truly captivating.

Sóller

Four great things about Sóller: it’s located in a valley surrounded by mountains, it has very particular modernist architecture, it has gardens halfway between Renaissance and Moorish and it has a historic tram that connects the town with the port. Orange and lemon trees flourish all around, making the village one of the most beautiful places on the island. The church of Sant Bartomeu is a must-see.

Deià

One of the most famous villages in the area. The poet Robert Graves, David Bowie and The Beatles all spent time here. And understandably so: it’s just too beautiful. We especially recommend the viewpoint near the church, the Archaeological Museum, Robert Graves House and the cemetery. Everything is close by and can be enjoyed in half a morning.

Sa Foradada Viewpoint

Very close to Deià is this unique viewpoint. Unique for boasting the best views on the island and because from here you can see Sa Foradada peninsula and its famous natural hole in the rock. The best place to watch the sunset in Mallorca and a must-stop on your 3-day visit to the island.

It’s no coincidence that Mallorca is one of the most visited destinations in Spain. All these places we have discussed are incredible, but the island hides many more gems for you to discover. Follow our recommendations for 3 days in Mallorca and you’ll find them as you travel from place to place. That’s the island’s charm.

Where to Watch the Sunset in Mallorca: 10 Top Spots

Bea OKG — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 13:58:40 +0000

Sunsets in Mallorca have a special kind of magic. With white-sand beaches, dramatic cliffs, and the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, the island sets the stage for unforgettable golden-hour moments.

If you’re wondering where to catch the best sunset in Mallorca, here are our top recommendations for this special moment.

Enjoy the best sunsets in Mallorca

Sa Foradada

Sa Foradada is a classic among sunset lovers in Mallorca. This rocky outcrop, with its iconic hole in the centre (sa foradada means “the pierced one” in Mallorcan), offers a unique setting to watch what many consider the best sunset on the island. A short walk from the nearby restaurant leads you to the viewpoint.

This iconic sunset spot is located between Valldemossa and Deià, in the Tramuntana Mountains. Due to its popularity, we recommend arriving well in advance, as it tends to get crowded at that time of day.

Cala Llamp: Beach Club Gran Folies

Located in Cala Llamp, this beach club and restaurant in Port d’Andratx is a classic on the island. With a pool, restaurant, and incredible sea views, the atmosphere becomes even more special at sunset. Enjoy a romantic dinner or delicious cocktails at Gran Folies—one of the best restaurants for watching the sunset.

If you’re looking for beach clubs or beach bars (chiringuitos) to enjoy the sunset in Mallorca, Gran Folies Beach Club is a great choice—whether for yourself or to treat someone to a special experience.

Palma: Portitxol

If you’re in Palma and don’t want to go far, Portitxol is the perfect place.

This area is great for enjoying a seaside walk—on foot, by bike, or on skates—and makes for a lovely sunset plan in Palma. If you’re after something more relaxed, you can also sit down for a drink or dinner at one of the local bars.

Port de Sóller

Located in a picturesque natural harbour, Port de Sóller is another iconic spot to enjoy the sunset in Mallorca. With its lively promenade, old tram, and fishing boats bobbing in the port, it offers a unique atmosphere that blends tradition, nature, and special charm.

Perfect for a romantic getaway or dinner with a view, the sunset in Port de Sóller is a magical experience.

Es Trenc

Es Trenc is famous for its wide stretch of white sand and crystal-clear waters, all set in a untouched environment. Free from major developments and surrounded by dunes and native vegetation, the beach has a unique, unspoiled feel.

As part of a protected area, Es Trenc has maintained its natural beauty for decades, making it one of the few undeveloped stretches of coastline on the island.

A favourite among locals and visitors alike, its two-kilometre length means you can still find quiet corners even in high season.

Es Trenc isn’t just a daytime beach—it’s also the perfect place to end your day with an unforgettable sunset in the heart of nature.

Cap de Formentor

Visiting Mallorca without going to Cap de Formentor means missing one of the island’s most spectacular landscapes. Located at the northernmost tip, this spot combines dramatic cliffs, endless sea views, and a winding panoramic road that turns the journey into part of the adventure.

If there’s one time to visit Cap de Formentor, it’s sunset—when cliffs and sea merge in a vibrant display of colours.

For an authentic, striking, and emotional experience, sunset at Cap de Formentor is a must. Do note that from June to October, access restrictions are in place to reduce congestion, so visitors must arrive via shuttle bus.

Sant Telm

At the western end of Mallorca, Sant Elm is a small seaside town ideal for those seeking peace and natural beauty. Facing the protected island of Sa Dragonera, it offers one of the most beautiful sunsets on the island, as the sun sets just behind the island’s silhouette, creating a magical scene.

With its relaxed vibe, seafront promenade, and waterfront restaurants, Sant Elm combines nature, gastronomy, and spectacular views. Perfect for unwinding and enjoying the calm side of the Mediterranean, this is an ideal spot to end the day in a peaceful, authentic setting.

Cala Blava

For those looking for a beach to watch the sunset in Mallorca, Cala Blava is a great option. This small cove near Palma features crystal-clear waters and a quiet atmosphere. It’s a perfect escape from the crowds without having to travel far—ideal for enjoying the sunset in an intimate setting.

Islas Malgrats

The Malgrats Islands offer a spectacular setting to enjoy one of the best sunsets in Mallorca. You can admire the view from the lookout in Santa Ponsa or even from a boat, which adds a special touch to the experience. This is one of the most iconic spots for sunset in the Calvià area.

Sa Calobra

Sa Calobra is not only known for its stunning natural scenery, but also as one of the top places to watch the sunset in Mallorca. Its dramatic cliffs and the sea create a spectacular setting for enjoying golden hour.
Getting there by car is a bit of an adventure—but the breathtaking views make it well worth it. We recommend arriving early during high season, as it can get quite busy.

Mallorca offers plenty of incredible spots for sunset seekers. Each place has its own unique charm, so don’t hesitate to explore a few and find your favourite. Wherever you are on the island, the sunsets in Mallorca promise unforgettable memories.
