Holidays in Cala Ratjada
Cala Ratjada, located in the Capdepera district on the north eastern corner of Majorca, is a lively place which has grown from a little fishing village into a well-established resort. Meaning ‘The Bay of Rays’, Cala Ratjada has been awarded the Blue Flag by the European Union for its’ clean water and beaches, and is relatively undiscovered by the British market, being more of a favourite with German tourists. Cala Ratjada is a 90 minute transfer from Palma, and ideally placed to explore the picturesque villages and coves around the area. From October to April, Cala Ratjada is popular with the older generation, who come to escape the cold and enjoy the winter sunshine.
