Blue Marlin sits on Cala Jondal, a small cove on Ibiza's south coast, and is one of the island's original glamour beach clubs — built around a private jetty that lets yacht arrivals step straight from the water onto the terrace. It runs as a beach restaurant through the day, with a resident DJ programme that carries the atmosphere from afternoon into evening rather than switching into a separate nightclub identity after dark.
Booking and sunbeds
There's no entrance charge to walk in, but Blue Marlin's own FAQ recommends reserving ahead on busy days to guarantee a spot. Two lounger options are offered — single sunbeds and larger "big beds" for groups — both carrying a rental fee on top of a minimum spend at the table, and both tied to a set arrival window: turn up outside it and the reservation lapses. A beach or VIP reservation is paid in full in advance, while a restaurant table reservation takes a deposit instead — the kind of advance payment worth weighing against what UK card protection actually covers before booking. None of the specific amounts are repeated here, since Blue Marlin sets and adjusts them each season on its own booking page.
Dress code and who it suits
Blue Marlin's stated dress code is smart casual, with flip-flops specifically ruled out in the VIP sections. Children are welcome at the beach and pool areas until 8pm, and can stay later if the visit is a restaurant booking rather than a beach one. The overall register — yacht crowd, resident DJs, a proper kitchen — puts it closer to the "see and be seen" end of Ibiza's beach clubs than a quiet family afternoon, though the daytime hours before the evening crowd builds are calmer.
Season and hours
For 2026, Blue Marlin's own site lists the season running from late April to early October. Daily service starts at 10:30am, with outdoor music running until around 11pm and the venue continuing indoors later into the night — exact closing time shifts through the season, so it's worth checking the current schedule before planning a late visit.
Getting there
Cala Jondal (see it on the map) sits on Ibiza's south coast, roughly a 20–25 minute drive from Ibiza Airport and a similar distance from Ibiza Town, with taxi being the standard way to arrive since there's no rail link on the island. Blue Marlin's FAQ doesn't cover parking directly and notes it doesn't control third-party taxi services, so arranging transport — or confirming a return boat transfer, where offered — ahead of time is worth doing rather than assuming a cab will be easy to find from a cove at the end of the night.
