Holidays in Cala Ratjada

An introduction to Cala Ratjada

If you like to rotate your beaches day by day, Cala Ratjada will keep you as happy as a sandboy. Having evolved from a fishing hamlet into an upbeat resort, this appealing north-eastern town has one star feature – it's within touching distance of several stupendous beaches.
Tucked into a craggy coastline, its centrepiece isn't a beach however, but a modern marina. Here, where once only fishing boats bobbed, rows of yachts now flash in the sun. All around , you'll be welcomed at animated bars and fish restaurants, their outdoor tables providing perfect pitstops amid the cosmopolitan, buzzy ambience. And once that's put you in the mood, saunter around the shops behind the waterfront, picking up souvenirs as you go.
In the beach department, it's a case of eeny, meeny, miny, mo. While the main beaches at Son Moll and Cala Gat offer Blue Flag commended sands and waters, they're pretty popular, so you may want to escape somewhere quieter. Take the coastal path northwards and you'll discover more peaceful coves including pretty Cala Agulla and dreamy Cala Mesquida, where piercingly blue waters rustle up against powdery sands.
Beach cravings satisfied, make time to discover the older Majorca. Head to medieval Capdepera to check out its 13th century castle and market. Continue to Arta to see its impressive caves or enjoy the picturesque countryside with a round of golf or a horseback ride. Alternatively, hop on a hydrofoil to charming Menorca.
Come nightfall, enter into Ratjada's spirit by trawling its popular bars and discos and enjoying a wild night out. Or for something more sedate, sit down to a lingering supper under the light of the glowing Majorcan moon.
