Getting to Cala Ratjada from Palma Airport
Getting to Cala Ratjada from Palma Airport is relatively easy and cheap thanks to great transport connections between the two destinations.
Firstly, you can grab the bus from the airport into the centre of Palma which takes about 20 minutes. From there, you can hop on the bus from the central bus station that travels to Cala Ratjada along the coast. This route takes in other seaside resorts along the way and offers some incredible views of the island's scenery.
Alternatively, you can grab one of the many taxis that wait outside the airport terminals. Journeys are affordable, with timings based on your final destination. It's worth agreeing on a price before the journey begins.
Another great way to get from Palma Airport to Cala Ratjada is to hire a car at the airport terminals. This means you can take your own time getting into the resort and can stop off at small villages that are off the beaten path along the way. Having a car during your trip also means you can explore the surrounding scenery on your own terms, and venture outside of the resort to take in some of the beautiful natural landscapes and small, traditional villages that flank it.
