Holiday in Cala Ratjada

What makes Cala Ratjada special as a destination?

Cala Ratjada at the northeastern tip of Mallorca has been one of the most popular holiday destinations for German tourists since the 1970s — and despite its popularity, it has retained an authentic charm that goes far beyond the typical tourist spot. The active fishing port gives the place soul: boats set out in the morning, and the catch is served in the harbor restaurants at noon. The beaches around Cala Ratjada are among the most beautiful in Mallorca — Cala Agulla with its wide sandy beach in front of a pine forest, the small Cala Gat with crystal-clear water between rocks, and the only accessible by foot Cala Mesquida with its impressive dunes offer something for every type of beachgoer. Over the town towers the garden of the March family — the Jardí de Sa Torre Cega — with a remarkable collection of sculptures amidst botanical splendor and sea views. The lighthouse at Cap de Capdepera marks the easternmost point of Mallorca, and on clear days, one can see all the way to Menorca from here. Cala Ratjada has a lively nightlife with bars and clubs that pulse into the early morning hours in summer, but also quiet corners for families and those seeking relaxation — this versatility makes the place a perennial favorite in German tourism to Spain.
