Club de Mar

Explanation:
Leave it as it is. Brits will recognise what it is at any rate. Think of "Club Med" and many other examples.

It takes most visitors here about a day to learn that "pan" is "bread" and "bocata" is for eating, so I'd expect no problems in their understanding that "Club de Mar" is not some sort of mothers' association...

Definition: A proper noun names a specific person, place or thing. Proper nouns are capitalised.
NOT synonymous with "brand name".

What I mean is that sailing club is club nautico and beach club is club de mar...not that both are for club de mar! Sorry if there was any confusion.

agree

Dr Neil Ashby: i think this is much safer than simply Club de Mar - most Brits are ignorant of Spanish - the example Club Med is from the Mediterranean which is almost the same in Spanish and English

1 hr

-> Thanks Neil! As the asker wanted something to diferenciate I suggested these two. There are Clubes de Mar everywhere in Spain, it's not an actual "name". Have a great weekend!

agree

AllegroTrans

1 hr

-> Thanks! Enjoy your weekend.

agree

Sean Mullen

2 hrs

-> Thanks! Have a good weekend.

agree

Deborah Lockett: yes to Beach Club

3 hrs

-> Thanks Deborah! You'd never think that Beach Club was a proper noun would you? Just the name for a "club" on/by the beach. Have a great weekend.

agree

Thayenga: Beach Club. Happy Sunday. :)

19 hrs

-> Thanks! You too

neutral

Rick Larg: The “Club de Mar” in Palma de Mallorca is a prestigious marina, alongside the harbour's other prestigious marina: the “Club Nautico”

20 hrs

-> Thanks Rick! Yes, and there are tiny "Clubes de Mar" too and "Clubes Nauticos" on little lakes as well as by the sea. Enjoy your Sunday!

agree

neilmac: Although maybe just "beach club" - from the sound of it not much sailing goes on...

1 day3 hrs

-> Thanks Neil! I think that that's the difference, the nautico is the sailing club and the club de mar is the beach club.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)

agree

Carol Gullidge: especially as it has capital letters, perhaps denoting a proper name...(?)//the fact that they have even bothered to use capitals (half the time they don't bother) means that we should stand up and take notice!

3 mins

-> Cheers Carol, that's what they denote to me anyway :)

agree

Cristina Talavera: with neilmac and Carol

49 mins

-> Cheers. I'd never join a club whose members didn't know what the name meant...

neutral

Dr Neil Ashby: With capitals then maybe leave it as it is but otherwise I disagree that Brits know what Mar means....Club Med is much more obvious due to 'the Med' being an English colloquial word for the Mediterranean. Plus Club Med is made by and for the English!!

1 hr

-> You could be right - the last time I watched a UK TV quiz show I was astounded by the galloping ignorance of many contestants. But don't they use "med" in the states?

neutral

AllegroTrans: We don't know that this is a "proper name" - asker hasn't told us

1 hr

-> The capitalisation at very least suggests to me that it is. I see no criteria to make me suppose otherwise ...

neutral

Sean Mullen: unless this is the actual name of the place, I wouldn't translate it this way; not likely to be understood by many English speakers

2 hrs

-> I suppose it depends on one's "natural" linguistic habitat ;)

agree

Rick Larg: With capitals. The Club de Mar will be a privately run marina in Spain

2 hrs

-> Claro hombre.

neutral

Isamar: The fact that they are all over the place to me means that it is not a proper noun. It's like the words in the title of a book or a film that often have capitals.

3 hrs

-> I assumed from Capital Letters in the post it was a proper name/noun. What are your criteria for pronouncing it "not" ?
