The resort of Cala Ratjada is built on a small peninsula in the extreme north east corner of the island. Before the onset of tourism in the 1960's, the original village of Cala Ratjada was a quiet little fishing port, who's name literally translates as "The Bay of Rays". The original harbour still exists, but today is more likely to be the home of expensive private cruisers than the fishing boats of times gone by.
Despite being a well established resort, with a selection of over 40 hotels to choose from, until a couple of years ago it still remained undiscovered by the British tourist. Cala Ratjada is popular with French and German Tourists. One of the features of this part of Mallorca is the jagged coastline and numerous sandy coves. Cala Ratjada, and the surrounding area, has a number of good beaches to choose from. The main beach called "Son Moll", isn't particularly large and does get very crowded during the summer.
