Habanera Club
FAQ
At Avinguda de Gabriel Roca, 27, 07014 Palma (Ponent / Paseo Marítimo), right next to La Bodeguita del Medio and about two hundred meters from Palma’s Auditórium. It’s across from the Real Club Náutico, on the façade facing the sea and the docked yachts. You can reach it on foot from the city center in twenty minutes via the Born promenade and the Cathedral.
The weekly schedule is announced on Instagram (@habanera_club_palma) every week; typical nights run from Thursday to Sunday starting at 22:30, with closing time between 03:00 and 04:00 depending on the night. Habanera does not publish fixed hours on external listings—the reliable source is their own social media account.
18 years old with ID or passport. Habanera is not a large-scale party venue and maintains its own hospitality filter at the door: a mixed crowd of local adults and tourists interested in Caribbean dancing. There’s no special 21+ or 25+ age range, but entry is selective—not a stag-party or rowdy-group bar.
No formal dress code. The rule is comfortable clothes for dancing: long pants or a dress, shoes with smooth soles (appreciated by salsa dancers), and a shirt or blouse. Pool flip-flops and swimsuits are not allowed; otherwise, it’s casual wear. Couples coming to dance tend to dress slightly more polished than casual passersby.
Habanera does not sell tickets at the box office for its regular nights: entry is free within capacity limits, and drinks are paid at the bar (cocktails from 8 EUR, beer from 4 EUR). For special classes with guest teachers or socials with a fee, sign-up is announced on Instagram. Any one-off events with paid tickets are posted on partyisla.com when scheduled.
By bus: EMT lines 1, 30, and 104 stop one minute from the venue. By taxi: 5-7 EUR from Palma city center or Sa Llotja, 8-10 EUR from Santa Catalina, 12-15 EUR from Portixol or Es Molinar, 20-25 EUR from the airport. Nearest public parking: Paseo Marítimo parking (one-minute walk). The walk from the city center takes twenty minutes along the harbor.
Cuban salsa, Dominican bachata and sensual, reggaeton, and occasional merengue and kizomba. There’s no mainstream reggaeton for a big dance floor or electronic music; the focus is on partner dancing and Latin tracks. The DJs are local figures from Palma’s salsa and bachata scene, with no international names or ticketed lineups.
No, they are two different venues, though they share a wall in the same Paseo Marítimo building. La Bodeguita del Medio is the area’s oldest Cuban bar, more oriented toward cocktails (mojitos) and seating; Habanera is the next-door dance venue focused on Latin dance floors. Many people combine both in the same night: a mojito in one, salsa in the other.
