For a touch of the wild on the East Coast of Mallorca, head for this north east stretch of Majorca's coast. Cala Ratjada blends beach coves with a rocky shoreline, and is perfect for birdwatching. Cala Ratjada also has a busy tourist harbour, with leisure boats and yachts mooring here, and an attractive promenade lined with relaxing cafes, bars and restaurants offering al fresco dining.
Cala Ratjada offers holidaymakers a nice leisurely pace, with cosy cove beaches and easy access to wonderful Arta and the Arta coves. Plenty of Majorca golf in this neck of the woods too!
This northern area of the East coast of Majorca and Cala Rajada is an established resort, with a laid back feel and actually more popular with French and German visitors than British. Recognised for it's jagged rocky coastline and many coves, it's a most attractive part of the East Majorcan coastline. The beaches are of the highest quality as well, most have been given Blue Flags. An important fact to note about the beaches here, especially Son Moll, is that a few metres out the sea waters shelve out quite deeply, so families with small children will need to be mindful. This stretch of the coast is more popular with older visitors looking for a laid back holiday.
This stretch of the north east coastline around Cala Mesquida and Cala Agulla has been recognised for its special ecological and environment value. The area is a specially protected bird sanctuary, with beautiful pine forests overlooking the beach. The name of the game here is peace and quiet and seclusion! There's lots of opportunities for camping around Cala Torta, with a car park and picnic area near the beach there. Cala Mesquida is prime surfing territory, with an idyllic bay beach and very little development.
Cala Torta itself has a superb horseshoe shaped bay with beautiful sands, dunes and pine forests framing it. There's also a little beach bar. You can actually walk over the rock headland to Cala Mitjana which is even more isolated - no beach bars here.
Capdepera has many of the most beautiful beaches and coves on Majorca's east coast. The areas of Cala Ratjada, Cala Mesquida, Canyamel and Font de Sa Cala are prime tourist spots, with excellent beaches, and with the Arta Caves nearby which make a spectacular family day out. Check out also Capdepera Castle up from Capdepera market square. There's also a couple of excellent golf courses around Capdepera.
