sind aber echt einige shöne orte da,waren da vor 10 jahren mal mit der familie
We had three 4-bed appartements close to the "small" beach and the clubs (physical, keops,...). Was quite decent (small pool to chill and great cliff-jump spot right next to the hotel). Overall it was a cheap and great vacation if you want to drink, party and so on. We ALWAYS walked to the "big" beach, which was about 15min walk, but it was definately worth it. Wake everyone up at 12am and headed out. Came back around 6pm --> some cliffjumping, buying & cooking food, pre-drinking awesome style until ~ 23/24 and heading out all night long.
THOUGH you should be aware that cala ratjada is more the place were the younger ppl go. We still fit in well, but there were hardly any people older than us partying. So I'd say the age range is about 16-21.
I would not go there again as I've passed that age range, but if it suits you I can only recommend it.

the "small beach" is right south of it. the "big beach" is north of it (throught the city). You can get free cooling boxes at some kiosks and just buy all the beer there. We also once rented a tretboot and took all the cool beer with us. Very good idea ;)
anyway if u want a recomendation from a local ud have more fun if u rented a car, each weekend theres a town in mallorca which does what we call "verbenas" and its basically a party in the streets of tiny towns with music etc and the streets are FULL of ppl filled with a lot of alcohol (and cheap) and young people (16-30yo) the party lasts all night long till the sun raises or longer (depends on the amount ofppl there is) thats the real way locals here in mallorca party cuz its waay more fun and less expensive (or free). theres one every weekend atleast and each one in a different town.
If u wanna go i could tell u more infos.
Mallorca is small so usually driving between other towns wont be more than 15km(15km being the furthest town) from Cala Ratjada it would be longer (like 20-30 i guess) tho one should stay sober for driving
verbenas look like this:

(thats the main square of a town with a church next to it and stuff)
and in the streets of towns liek this

And only young ppl from mallorca there since toursists dont know about this. So living in mallorca when u are young during summer its basically spend the day at the beach and when the night falls you get to the town thats hosting the party.
You should definitely try it for something new and unknown in mallorca if u are planning on comming back. Also sometimes it gets pretty fucked up... Like people having sex in the street lol, well its usually like that. Also plently of people smoking weed so u can buy aswell there.
will do a semester abroad in bilbao this winter so I'll improve my spanish in preperation of the summer ;D
