Alcudia Holidays

Home to an idyllic beach and an ancient old town, Alcudia holidays are perfect for relaxation and exploration in equal measure. In this charming part of Majorca’s northern coast, you can expect delightful views of the glittering turquoise sea, plenty of attractive architecture, and an extensive choice of activities. 

Alcudia’s old town, just over a kilometre inland from the port, is undoubtedly one of Majorca’s most attractive urban areas to explore, full of beautifully preserved medieval buildings and cobbled streets that brim with character. Its imposing walled perimeter and Roman ruins nod towards its heritage, while more recent traditions are proudly showcased at its many rustic restaurants. It’s well worth allowing ample time to wander the narrow, winding streets, browse the market and feast on tapas.

Then there’s Alcudia’s gorgeous beach that stretches out from the marina – a 10km stretch of soft, golden sand, fringed by rocks and palm trees, which makes a perfect spot for sunbathing and swimming. The waters here are generally calm, clear and great for snorkelling, and there are lots of cool beach bars and seafront shops as well. 

If you’re into cycling, meanwhile, you’ll be absolutely in your element in Alcudia. Many of Majorca’s most scenic routes begin here, such as Playa De Muro to Betlem (a relatively easy coastal route), and the circular loop of Parc Natural de s'Albufera de Mallorca, a wetland nature reserve home to an array of wildlife, including flamingos, turtles, frogs, and much more. For something a little more challenging, head north up the coast towards Port de Pollença and beyond into the Tramuntana mountains, whose pine forests, craggy peaks, and rural villages are a cyclist’s dream.
