Champagne, Beats and Sea View: Evadete Evening at the Lobster Club Puerto Portals

Eva Moreno and colleagues brought Afro-House to the harbor edge

On Thursday evening, a few days after the official start of the season, the small upscale marina filled with a mix of muted laughter, the clinking of cutlery and the distant hum of boat engines. Around 7 p.m. about 450 guests gathered for the event 'Evadete by 2Quilos' at the Lobster Club, the venue opened in 2024 by the Cappuccino Group on the edge of Puerto Portals.

Guests followed a dress code that was somewhere between relaxed island wear and cocktail elegance: boho elements met chic shirts and airy dresses. Glasses clinked on the terraces and Bali beds, the wind carried salty air and the scent of grilled seafood from the restaurant area. A late-summer sky hung over the harbor; daytime temperatures in Palma had been around 28 degrees and the evening air remained mild.

The host of the evening was Spanish DJ and entrepreneur Eva Moreno. She appeared focused but relaxed as she took to the decks and announced a set with a clear Afro-oriented direction. She was supported by DJ Garelle and DJ Søraya, who kept the mood high with tribal and Latin-house influences. The tracks were not loud but deliberately placed, a sound that suited the sundowner while still getting people moving, unlike louder themed parties such as the Ses Palmeres themed party.

The Lobster Club presented itself as a backdrop that emphasizes the sea: open outdoor areas, sweeping roofs and an infinity pool that seemed to blur in the glow of the lights. From the restaurant area there was a view of the water and the small nearby island Illa d’en Salas; Oratori Beach is within walking distance. The menu featured seafood, lobster variations and upscale paella – an offering that matched the ambiance and reflected the target audience, and for seaside dining options nearby see the Portixol sea bass restaurant review.

For many guests, price was part of the concept: cocktails were charged at up to around €30 during the evening, and VIP tables were reserved in advance. Events like this attract a wealthier clientele; they provide visibility, generate revenue for gastronomy and services and create jobs along the marina promenade, as seen in other Puerto Portals evenings such as the Ritzi Bar in Puerto Portals — 20th anniversary.

As a daily observation: while on a normal weekday yachts lie at anchor and craftsmen and employees fill the harbor lanes, evenings like this bring a different life to the place. The sounds change, languages and accents mix – Mallorcan, Spanish, English, German – and for a few hours the harbor feels like a small international meeting point.

Why this is good for the island: such events broaden the cultural offerings, create platforms for artists like Eva Moreno and attract visitors who seek cultural experiences as well as consumption. At the same time they show how gastronomy, music and location marketing can be combined without burning out the village stage: if operators prioritize quality and a certain respect for the neighborhood, celebrations can be economically and socially compatible.

Outlook: if organizers involve local artists, consider flexible pricing and quiet hours, a healthy balance can be found. With the evening the Lobster Club showed that one can celebrate elegantly by the water while presenting musical diversity. For the coming months it would be desirable to offer shorter, more accessible formats as well – so that more people on the island can experience the music scene without the surroundings suffering.

At the end of the evening the image remained of a harbor that briefly shone: lights on the water, soft house beats, content chatter and servers clearing plates. Such an evening is no world change, but a small reminder of how Marseille-like harbor scenes can also find space here alongside everyday life – with sea view, music and a touch of glamour.
