Travel Options

The Hotel Bella Playa & Spa in Cala Ratjada is a short walk from Cala Agulla, a picturesque bay backed by pine trees.

Cala Ratjada is a well-established resort on the beautiful north east coast of Majorca and has a lovely scenic coastal promenade from where on a clear day you can see right across to Ciutadella on the neighbouring island of Menorca. The area is beautiful with a dramatic coastline and many sandy bays and blue flag beaches, and there are many wonderful coastal walks and golf courses nearby. Saturday Street market Placa del Pins sells colourful products, crafts, clothes, flowers and local produce

This unspoilt resort remains authentically Spanish and up until a couple of years ago was virtually undiscovered by British tourists. Unlike some resorts on the island, Cala Ratjada is completely unspoilt by fast food outlets and numerous bars enabling you to enjoy the delightful coastal promenade and attractive marina offering good quality restaurants, tapas bars and pizzerias.

The Castles and Cathedrals of Palma

Led by our knowledgeable guide, out tour will begin with a panoramic view of the city before making a photo stop at Bellver Castle, a unique round castle perfectly maintained from the 14th Century. Our tour will continue to the pedestrianised promenade which runs parallel to Palmas seafront before walking through the gothic quarter of Palma with its Palaces and patios to the magnificent Cathedral of Palma, commonly referred to as La Seu, located in the heart of the city. Entrance to the cathedral is included. This visit will be followed by free time for lunch (not included) and independent shopping and sightseeing before returning to the hotel late afternoon.

The Delights of Alcudia & Puerto Pollensa

Alcudia Market boasts one of the best settings of all the markets in Majorca. Set within the high, old walls of the town, the market offers a wide variety of products including fruit and vegetables, leather goods, souvenirs and of course, traditional Majorcan Doughnuts! We will spend some time in the old town before continuing north, around the Bay of Pollensa to the town of Puerto Pollensa which inspired Agatha Christie to write her Majorcan story, Problems of Pollensa Bay. Once a simple fishing port, the town is now a very attractive resort with a marina and a long sandy beach lined by pine and palm trees. There will be free time before we return to the hotel early afternoon.

The Remarkable Caves of Drach & Sineu Market

The town of Sineu is located in the centre of the island and having once been the capital, it is now famed for the oldest and most traditional market in all of Majorca. Running for over 700 years, the heart of this beautiful market is in the main square, Placa es Mercadel, but it also extends to the streets and alley ways of the town. Our tour will continue to Porto Cristo, where we will visit the Caves of Drach, without doubt, the most remarkable caves on the island. A pathway will lead us through the various caves, passing the impressive and colourful stalactite and stalagmites to Lake Martel, considered one of the largest underground lakes in the world. A boat trip across the lake is included and we will be treated to a short classical concert. We will return to the hotel late afternoon.
