Cala Ratjada is in the extreme North East corner of Mallorca, on a rocky coastline within easy reach of several beaches. Like the majority of resorts around mallorca Cala Ratjada was originally a small fishing village, only becoming popular with tourists in more recent years. There are still local fishermen, along with pleasure craft and a regular boat service to the nearby island of Menorca. The majority of activity is around the quay, with its many bars and restaurants. There is a promenade to the Son Moll beach which continues past the port to the small beach of Cala Gat.

Up on a hill you can find the Palace of Can March, built on the site of the 15th Century "Torre Cega", with it's collection of sculpture in the grounds.
