Cala Ratjada Transfer: Palma Airport by private car, taxi or bus

Cala Ratjada sits at the far north-eastern tip of Mallorca, almost 80 km from Palma Airport. It's one of the longest journeys on the island: over an hour on the road. And if there are several of you —family, friends or an organised group—, one taxi isn't enough: you'll need two. In this guide we compare every option —private transfer, taxi, shuttle and public bus— so you can choose without surprises or unexpected surcharges.

How to get from the airport to Cala Ratjada

Four alternatives for a journey of over an hour. The differences in price and comfort are significant.

Private transfer

Exclusive vehicle, fixed price of €190 for 5–8 people. Your driver tracks your flight: if it's delayed, they wait at no extra cost.

  • Fixed price, no surprises
  • Flight tracking included
  • Door to door
From €190 / journey (5–8 pax)

Taxi

A taxi carries up to 4 passengers, so a group of 5 to 8 needs two of them: between €220 and €300 in total. On top of that, the meter on an 80 km run climbs at night, on public holidays and with luggage surcharges. No guaranteed price, and the group doesn't arrive together.

  • Variable price (meter)
  • Two vehicles for one group
  • No flight tracking
€220–€300 2 taxis, estimated

Shared shuttle

Lower price per person (~€18–20), but it splits the group up and the route can stretch out considerably: the shuttle drops off and picks up other passengers before reaching your destination.

  • Multiple stops
  • Fixed timetable
  • Low price per person
~€18–20 / person

Public bus

The cheapest option (~€12), but the connection usually requires a change at Artà. The total journey can exceed 2.5 hours once luggage and waiting time are factored in.

  • 2–3 hours of travel
  • Possible transfer
  • Very cheap
~€12 / person

Note: Taxi prices are estimates based on Mallorca's regulated tariffs, calculated for two vehicles, since a taxi takes a maximum of 4 passengers. The final price can vary with night surcharges (21:00–07:00), public holidays, extra luggage or traffic. The private transfer price is fixed for the whole group, with no surcharges for the time of day or the number of suitcases.

4 things to know before choosing how to get to Cala Ratjada

Details that make the difference on a long journey.

Flight tracking is worth its weight in gold

On a journey of over an hour, an unannounced flight delay can leave you waiting at the airport. The private transfer tracks your flight and adjusts the pick-up automatically, with no phone calls and no extra charge.

One vehicle instead of two taxis

The private transfer price is per vehicle, not per person: €190 for the whole group. For eight people that's €23.75 each, against the €220–€300 the two taxis needed to move the same group would cost. And you all arrive at the same time.

A night taxi can work out dearer

The meter applies the night tariff between 21:00 and 07:00. On an 80 km run that surcharge, added to the luggage extras and multiplied by two vehicles, pushes the final bill up sharply.

Luggage at no extra cost

The private transfer includes luggage with no surcharge, and a minibus has room for the whole group's bags. Taxis charge for each suitcase in the boot. If you're travelling with large luggage, that detail changes the final sum.

Frequently asked questions: Cala Ratjada transfer

In normal conditions the journey takes between 60 and 75 minutes via the motorway and inland roads. In high season it can stretch a little because of traffic on the approaches to Palma. We recommend booking the transfer at least 2.5 hours before your flight departs.

Taxis charge by regulated meter. For a run of around 80 km the estimated daytime price is between €110 and €190 per vehicle, and a taxi takes a maximum of 4 passengers: a group of 5 to 8 people needs two, bringing the total to roughly €220–€300. At night (21:00–07:00), on public holidays or with extra luggage that figure rises. There is no guaranteed fixed fare unless agreed in advance.

There is a public bus connection, although it generally requires a change at Artà or at Palma's bus station. The total journey, including waiting time and getting around the airport, can exceed 2.5 hours. Timetables are limited, especially for the last services of the day. It's the cheapest option (~€12) but the least practical if you arrive with luggage, as a group or late at night.

The price is for the whole vehicle, not per passenger. For 5–8 people it is €190 in total. If eight of you travel, that works out at €23.75 per person: exclusive, with no intermediate stops and with the driver waiting for you in the terminal. For larger groups we have vehicles seating up to 20.

With a MallorcaLowCost private transfer, your driver tracks your flight status in real time. If it's delayed, they adjust the pick-up time automatically and wait at no extra charge. You don't need to call or update the booking.
