Cala Ratjada - The Place

Cala Ratjada is a pretty resort surrounded by pine trees and rugged cliffs. Situated one hundred kilometres north east from Palma, it has a transfer time of one hour. Cala Ratjada has evolved from a small fishing village into a popular seaside resort which still has a cluster of local fishing boats bringing in their daily catch. Although there is a small narrow beach in the resort most visitors take a short walk to Cala Agulla which is long and sandy. There are small beaches at Cala Gat and Son Moll. Care must be taken with children as the beaches shelve fairly steeply into the sea. The beaches offer a wide range of water sporting activities. Boat trips down the coast offer a further choice of wonderful beaches and secluded coves.

Those who enjoy walking can take to the wooded hills or wander along the coastal paths above the cliffs. There are also some excellent golf courses in the north east of Majorca where you can enjoy a little exercise in a stunning landscape of green hills dotted with whitewashed cottages, craggy cliffs and deep blue sea.
