A Bustling Beach at the Heart of Cala Ratjada
Son Moll is the closest beach to the lively centre of Cala Ratjada, making it a favourite for visitors staying in this historic seaside town. The area has long been one of Majorca’s most important fishing harbours and a pioneering tourist destination, with Son Moll serving as its go-to sandy stretch for sunseekers.
Surrounded by History & Coastal Views
Bordered by modern hotels that replaced the early summer villas in the 1950s, Son Moll remains well-connected to local heritage. Just a short distance away is the Capdepera Lighthouse and sa Torre Cega, a 15th-century tower transformed into the Palau d'en March—a museum-home housing one of Europe’s finest sculpture collections and an expansive botanical garden.
Boat-Friendly & Easy to Reach
The beach is a good spot for anchoring boats, with a sandy seabed at around 4 metres depth, sheltered from most winds except those from the northeast through southeast. Just 100 metres offshore lies the small islet of Forana, though the narrow channel is too shallow for navigation. Access is easy by road, and a bus stop just 50 metres away makes public transport the best option due to limited nearby parking.
