Holiday Overview
The March 2024 EBU Overseas Congress will now take place at the 4-star Hotel Bella Playa & Spa, Cala Ratjada.
Cala Ratjada is a well-established resort and port on the beautiful northeast coast of Majorca that up until recently was virtually undiscovered by British tourists. As a result, it is completely unspoilt, allowing you to enjoy delightful coastal promenades, as well as an abundance of traditional restaurants and tapas bars. Not to be missed is a haggle in the local Saturday market in the old town; where you can treat yourself to some leather goods or pick up a souvenir. The area is beautiful with a dramatic coastline and many sandy bays, perfect for wonderful coastal walks. Golfers will appreciate the choice of excellent golf courses in the vicinity.
The hotel offers excellent facilities including a large indoor pool with hydro jets, saunas, and steam rooms, as well as a lovely outdoor pool and terraces.
Included is a full day tour to the beautiful north coast of the island. We stop in the popular Port d'Alcudia with its long, flat beach promenade abundant with shops and cafés, contrasting its old Roman site, and perfectly restored city walls and ancient houses. We visit the beautiful old town, resort, and harbour of Puerto Pollensa, and take a boat trip to Formentor.
To participate in this prestigious Green and Blue Pointed Overseas Congress, you must be an EBU member. Visit the EBU website to join.
