The sandstone façade of Hostal Marina on its quiet Cala Ratjada street, three storeys of cobalt-blue shutters above a stone-framed ground floor with a timber porch and a brass anchor by the door

Cala Ratjada · Mallorca · since 1969

A family hostal, two streets from the sea.

Blue shutters on a sandstone house by the port. Bright, simple rooms, a bar the town knows by name, and the coves a short walk from the door — kept by the same family for over fifty years.

N.01The hostal

A small, honest house — run like a family, not a chain.

Hostal Marina opened more than fifty years ago and has stayed in the same hands ever since. It is not a resort and never pretended to be: it is a sandstone house with blue shutters, a few streets back from the harbour, where the people at the bar know the regulars and the rooms are kept clean, bright and quiet.

By the door, a brass ship's wheel and a small painted plaque — the kind of detail you only get from a place that has been looked after by the same people for a long time. Guests have scored it 4.7 over 144 reviews, and most of them come back.

Hostal Marina seen along its street: the long sandstone front with rows of blue shutters and the blue HOSTAL MARINA sign, palms and a clear Mallorcan sky above

A turquoise-painted room door under a small numbered 204 plaque, with a dark wooden ship's wheel mounted on the white wall beside it

N.02Bearings

There's a signpost in the hall. This is it.

A hand-painted board points the way to the beaches. Almost everything in Cala Ratjada is on foot from the door.

N.03Rooms

Bright, plain rooms — and a door painted the colour of the sea.

Singles and doubles with white walls, wood floors and a window that lets the morning in. Nothing fussy: a clean bed, a quiet room, a good shower, and a price that leaves room for the rest of the holiday.

N.204

A twin room with two beds in mustard-gold covers, white walls, a wood-beamed ceiling and a small window in a blue frame

The beam-ceiling twin

Two single beds under an old timber ceiling, white walls and a blue-framed window. Cool in the afternoon, quiet at night — the room with the wheel on the door.

N.112

A twin room with a natural stone feature wall, two beds in gold covers, a tiled floor and a doorway through to a bright bathroom

The stone-wall twin

A room with a wall of bare Mallorcan stone left as it was found, two beds and an en-suite through the back. A little more character, the same easy calm.

A simple twin room with white walls, two single beds in gold covers, a wooden ceiling and warm afternoon light

The street single & twin

The straightforward rooms the hostal is built on: white, bright and well kept, one or two beds, a window over the street. What you actually need, and no more.

N.04The bar

The bar is the heart of it.

Downstairs there's a proper sports bar — wood, a row of taps, the match on and the family behind the counter. It is where guests and locals end up, over a coffee in the morning or a beer when the game is on.

Off the bar, a lived-in common room with a pool table and a few games, for the slow part of the afternoon or a night the weather turns. None of it is polished. All of it is real.

N.05In and around

The house, the harbour, the water.

From the blue shutters of the front to the boats in the port and the coves either side of town — a few streets in either direction.

N.06Cala Ratjada

A working fishing town at the end of the island.

Cala Ratjada sits on the far north-east corner of Mallorca, in the municipality of Capdepera — a real port town with a working harbour, a morning market, restaurants down by the boats and a string of coves within walking distance.

From the hostal you walk to the port in a few minutes, to the nearest sand in about seven, and to the lighthouse headland for the view back along the coast. The car is for the rest of the island.

Port & promenade: 3 min walk
Nearest cove (Cala Gat): 7 min walk
Cala Agulla beach: 18 min walk
Palma airport: about 1 h 15
