Your questions about Cala Ratjada and the apartment
The pool, the air conditioning, parking, shopping and payment, answered briefly and without any flannel.
Does the apartment have its own pool?
No. It's a shared outdoor pool that you use alongside the other residents of the building, and the terrace looks out over it.
When is the pool open?
From 15 May to 15 October, 10:00 to 21:00. Outside those dates it's closed, so plan on the sea or on doing without.
Is there air conditioning in every room?
No. There's a powerful unit in the living room, the bedrooms have fans, and the awnings keep the sun out. We won't promise you that the whole apartment stays cool.
Where can I park?
On the street, for free. There's no private space, so allow a little time to find one in high season.
How far is the beach?
Son Moll beach is 400 metres away, a five-minute walk. Other coves and how long they take are set out in the beach guide.
Where's the nearest supermarket in Cala Ratjada?
There's an Eroski in town, on Carrer d'Elionor Servera. In Capdepera, a few minutes by car, you'll find an Eroski Center and a Mercadona.
Are the shops open on Sundays?
We can't give you reliable Sunday hours, as they vary from shop to shop and with the season. Do your main shop on Saturday and check online for anything you need on the day. Saturday is also market day in town.
Do I need a car?
Not for the nearest beach, the town or the shopping. It's handy for Cala Torta, Artà and the natural park, and you can reach Cala Mesquida by bus in season. Everything about the journey is on location and getting here.
How much is the tourist tax (ecotasa)?
€2 per person per day from 1 May to 31 October, €0.50 from 1 November to 30 April, and half that from day 9. Under-16s are exempt. Two adults staying seven days in July would pay €28, on arrival and with a receipt.
Where do I pay for the apartment?
Only on Airbnb. We never ask for bank transfers or payment by link, and the one exception is the tourist tax on arrival. See how to book safely for what to look out for.
Is there a cot?
Yes, there's a cot and a high chair. For ideas on holidaying with little ones, have a look at Cala Ratjada with kids.
Are parties allowed?
No, and that goes for stag and hen groups too. Quiet hours run from 23:00 to 9:00 and during siesta, because the apartment is in a building with neighbours.
When can I book?
We let the apartment from March/April to October, and you can see available dates on Airbnb. For what each month is like, see when to go.
Will someone meet us?
Yes, we welcome guests in person when they arrive. Your host on Airbnb is Ana.
What's included in the apartment?
Wifi, a fully equipped kitchen, a washing machine and an iron. A dishwasher is arriving in March 2027. The complete list is on the apartment page.
Why do I see the town's name spelled two ways?
Maps and bus timetables often say Cala Rajada, and on this site we write Cala Ratjada. It's the same town.
