Cala Ratjada is a purpose built holiday resort in the north east of Mallorca, popular with northern Europeans. Cala Moll is the south of the resort and Cala Gat to the north.
Cala Moll & Cala Gat Beach, Cala Ratjada
Two stunning beaches located on the north-east coast of Mallorca
It is a lovely walk from Cala Moll northwards around the bays, and has lots of restaurants and bars serving every conceivable type of cuisine with every kind of atmosphere, from the hippy chic and ultra-modern, to rustic and traditional. The promenade takes you past La Ferradura, a tiny little cove, rocky but empty, leading in to the same beautiful sea. All along the path you can access the most amazing rock formations that are handy sunbathing platforms that lead you down into the cool waters. Eventually you will reach the harbour and the centre of the town. Here you can see the fishing boats and yachts whilst you enjoy a refreshing drink or meal at one of the many establishments around the harbour.
If you choose to walk on from Cala Ratjada towards Cala Gat, the promenade gets quieter, the restaurants and bars stop and you are left with a wonderful sense of peace and tranquility. Follow the coast round and you will find shady benches dotted along the promenade to stop and appreciate your surroundings. After a little while longer you reach Cala Gat, this is obviously where the locals go and you can see why. The beach is not as busy as Cala Moll and the area surrounding it is absolutely stunning. The cove is ensconced at the centre of some amazing rock formations offering plenty of diving platforms for the young bucks willing to prove their bravery! There is a lovely little beach bar with a very relaxed, laid-back vibe.
Restaurants
There are no dining options on either of these two beaches themselves, however there is a restaurant a short walk from Cala Moll, but worth checking if it is open outside of peak season. Between these two beaches, casual bars and restaurants offering Mediterranean cuisine line the coastal stretch.
Nightlife
If you’re looking to continue your holiday vibes well into the evening, head into the town centre of Cala Ratjada, which offers several bars and clubs for those wanting to let their hair down.
Hotels
Again, Cala Ratjada is one of the most picturesque holiday resort towns on the island, where you’ll find a selection of hotels and accommodation options.

Setting & Location
Cala Gat is positioned to the north of the town of Cala Ratjada. This beach is known for its charming and intimate character. Surrounded by rocky cliffs and lush vegetation, Cala Gat provides a more secluded and tranquil environment compared to its counterpart, Cala Moll.
On the other hand, Cala Moll is situated to the south of Cala Ratjada and is renowned for its livelier atmosphere. This beach boasts a broad expanse of golden sand, creating a welcoming and vibrant setting. Cala Moll is also characterised by its accessibility to various bars and restaurants along the scenic coastal path, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a blend of relaxation and entertainment.
Water Safety & Clarity
The sea is clear and a beautiful aquamarine colour but it is busy in peak season. Littered with hundreds of people floating about on lilos, and as for finding a spot on the beach itself, that could be difficult. Lifeguards are on duty during the busier summer months.
Beach Quality
Nice golden sandy beaches, with plenty of room for sunbathing.
Watersports Nearby
There are excellent snorkelling opportunities all along this rocky coastline. In addition, there are ‘pedalos’, SUP paddleboards, kayaks, and snorkelling gear to loan, along with a banana boat all available in Cala Ratjada. Boat trips and diving trips around the local coastline are also easily sourced there.
