Alcudia – best destination in Mallorca? Intro + Map

What do we mean by alcudia.

When people talk about Alcudia, they most refer to a large area around the resorts. It includes:

• Playa del Muro – a beach area with lots of accommodations in the continuity (Platja de Muro in Catalan)
• Can Picafort – another beach area with lots of accommodations in the continuity 

The advantages are a wide range of accommodations, easy access to the beach, easy access to main roads to explore the island and close to the most famous places such as Formentor and Sa Calobra.

• It has a long beautiful sandy beaches with crystal clear water
• There is everything you need in terms of accommodations, restaurants, shops…
• It provides easy access to many of the most beautiful places on the island as it is close to motorway Ma-13 and close to the Formentor peninsula.

It is ideal for couples, families, and it is the perfect location for biking.

See the  best rated accommodations in Alcudia . Suggestions in next section.

Is Alcudia worth visiting?

If you don’t stay in Alcudia, I do think the old town is worth a visit. It is beautiful and fun to explore. However, if you are already staying at a beach resort, no need to visit the beach area unless you want to watch sunrise.

Planning Tips – Alcudia, Mallorca

Alcudia transfers and taxis.

If you don’t plan on renting a car, you can book a transfer or take a taxi to get to Alcudia from Palma airport.

• Private Transfer – book
• Taxi – plan 90 to 100 euros for a taxi course (see latest prices here )
• Bus – there is a bus between Port de Alcudia and Palma airport – number 301

How to get to Alcudia? by car

However, I think the best way to explore Mallorca is by car. I recommend renting a car right at the airport.

• Easy drive from the Airport or from Palma de Mallorca to Alcudia (mostly on Motorway)
• Easy to drive in the beach areas – one main road parallel to the beach and accommodations on each side

Need to rent a car in Mallorca?  My tips:

• Compare prices on my favorite platform : Discovercars.com  – one of the best rated comparison sites!
• Choose your car and company (prefer a smaller car for the narrow roads)
• Consider their full coverage option (I recommend it because of the narrow roads)
• Book early  to have a large choice of vehicles!

Parking in Alcudia

Parking at Alcudia old town:

At the old town, there is no problem at all. There are several large carparks all around the fortifications. They are free.

Parking at Port d’Alcudia or Playa del Muro:

Parking in the beach areas is more complicated, especially in Summer.

• If you are staying in Alcudia and renting a car, make sure to read comments about parking in the area, if there is no dedicated parking space
• If you are just visiting, finding a place can be difficult in Summer. Arrive early to have options. It is mostly street parking.
• At the Marina, there is a large carpark 2 blocks from the waterfront.

Best time to visit

• Mallorca, and thus Alcudia, is best visited during Spring or Autumns for the most enjoyable temperature
• If you love the sun and heat, then the Summer months are for you, but expect large crowds
• Alcudia is a fantastic spot to watch sunrise
• Water temperature – it starts rising in June and it drops around mid to end October
• Markets in the old town are on Sunday and Tuesday mornings

How long to plan

• for a visit of Alcudia: to visit the old town you need half a day to one day
• for a holiday in Alcudia: I think 1 week is a minimum to enjoy the highlights and relax at the beach
• to explore the island: 2 weeks are required to explore more of the island and 3 if you want to visit each region in more details.

How to get around Alcudia old town

Once parked around the fortification walls, the old town is explored only on foot. It is not really big.

How to get from Port de Alcudia to Alcudia old town (or opposite)

• Easy 5min drive by car
• Easy 10min ride by bike
• by taxi – around 10 euros depending on where on the bay you start from
• Discussions are happening about animal welfare in regards to the horse carriages

How to get around Alcudia beaches

However, the beaches area is quite long – around 10km. So get between areas, you can:

• Walk along the beach in the sand
• Walk along the main road parallel to the beach
• Take the public bus
• Take the touristic Ting Ting train – in Summer, it connects Port de Alcudia and its attractions with an audiotour

Where to stay in Alcudia? Accommodation options

Alcudia accommodation tips.

The town and the beachfront are both rich in accommodations with rentals, hotels, villas… There is something for everyone.

Things to pay attention when choosing your accommodations are:

• How close is it to the seafront? (although you are never far).
• Is there a parking space included? If not, how are the comments about parking.
• How are the comments about noise? It is not a party area, but a few hotels have loud parties.
• How is the sea-view? many buildings are not facing the sea but are sideways, so the views can be partially obstructed.
• How close is it to the lagoon? There are more mosquitos closer to the lagoon.

Alcudia hotels and rentals – suggestions

• RESORT –  Iberostar Playa de Muro – where white and blue contrast beautifully, and right by the beach –  check out photos and availability
• HOTEL  – Astoria Playa Adults only –  check out photos and availability
• HOLIDAY HOME –  Chalet Falco with private pool –  check out photos and availability
• APARTMENT –  The Albers Apartment in Playa de Muro –  check out pictures and availability

#1 to 8 – Best places to visit in Alcudia Old Town

The old town of Alcudia is a big inland from the beach area. It is the best preserved medieval town in Mallorca, founded over 2000 years ago.

#1 – Admire the gates

All around the medieval town are fortification walls. There are several gates all around allowing you to enter. The 2 most impressive areas:

• Porta Sant Sebastia, still connected to the walls
• Porta del Moll, now freestanding.

I love the perspective of the old town through the entrance archways.

#2 – Walk on the fortification walls

As I said, most of the town is surrounded by fortification walls. There is a large section to the North, where you can enjoy walking on them and discovering the watch towers. I love the perspectives it offers. You can see the charming streets from above, as well as the landscapes surrounding to the towns.

#3 – Just stroll the narrow streets

You can also stroll and try to discover the many charming streets all around. Old stone houses are embellished by green plants, green shutters and more.

#4 – Admire the church –  Església de Sant Jaume d’Alcúdia

Església de Sant Jaume d’Alcúdia (Church of St Jaume) is a Roman Catholic church. It is at the south tip of the old town. The current church stands on the same site as the original church that was built back in 1302. It collapsed in 1870 due to lack of maintenance and was rebuilt and completed in 1893.

The church is beautiful, with various layers to be seen in each direction. It is built in Neo-Gothic style. The foundation has a transept and side chapels. The ceiling has Gothic ribbed vaults.

Apart from the side view, one of my favorite views is from the wall with the perspective towards the church:

#5 – Old town hall building

In the heart of the town, don’t miss the building with the townhall (Ajuntament d’Alcúdia). The building is also known as the “Casa Consistoral”. It was built in 1523 in the Renaissance style. It has a central tower, and it is decorated.

#6 – Travel through history at the Pollentia roman ruins

There is also an archeological site you can visit on the South tips of the old town. It is the ruins of Pollentia town. Urban life in Mallorca started in 123 BC when consul Quintus Caecilius Metellus conquered the island. It developed heavily during the 1st century because of its strategic location between the Bay of Alcudia and the Bay of Pollença. It became the most important town in the Balearic islands.

Today you can see the ruins of the theater, the forum and a residential neighborhood.

Closed on Mondays, Sundays and Public holidays. Opening hours: 9:30am to 2pm 4 euros

#7 – Enjoy delicious food in the Alcudia Restaurants

The old town of Alcudia is a great place to have lunch. There are several places with terraces and restaurants which have a lot of charm and some great food. I really enjoyed Can Polit Tapas. The inside is stunning, and the food is of good quality.

#8 – Explore the Alcudia Market

There is a large market every Tuesday and Sunday mornings. It is the oldest in Mallorca and it is held within the medieval walls. Stands include fresh food items, clothes, shoes, bags, souvenirs…

I don’t drink coffee

But I also like other drinks and sweets! Do you like the free content you find on my blog? All my tips and practical information, without intrusive advertising…

#9 to 13 – Enjoy the best beaches in Alcudia Bay

Along the Alcudia bay, there is a very long sandy beach, stretching for several kilometers. It starts at the marina and goes all the way to Can Picafort.

#9 – Port de Alcudia beach

Near the Marina is the Port de Alcudia beach.

• It is where the beach is the widest.
• Here there are restaurants right on the beach
• Rental of watersport equipment
• Shallow waters, great for younger kids

#10 – Port de Alcudia Lagoon

In the middle of Port de Alcudia is where the lagoon joins the sea. This is a beautiful area which a bridge and many restaurants.

#11 – Playa del Muro

At playa del Muro (a.k.a. Platja de Muro), the experience is different:

• The beach is narrower
• The walk down in the water has some drops in the sand and waves
• No restaurants directly on the beach. They are along the main road, 1 block behind.
• The accommodations are directly on the beach
• This is where you can join one of the fun adrenaline activities – several booths to book along the way

#12 – Walk along the long bay

Thanks to the beach being very long, it is an absolute pleasure to walk for a long time with beautiful views of the Alcudia Bay. The sand is soft and warm.

#13 – Watch sunrise

The beaches of Alcudia are some of the best places to watch sunrises. There are many pontoons along the beach (for the glass-bottom boat) where people like to sit and see the first light of the day.

#14 to 20 – Activities in Alcudia

#14 – hidropark – alcudia water park.

One of the mina attractions in Alcudia is the water park called Hidropark. It is the 3rd largest on the island. It includes:

• Several swimming pools
• Several water slides (straight and twirling)
• Trampolines
• Restaurants

See website

#15 – Fun water activities – paragliding, banana

Along the beach you can find booths where you can purchase tickets for adrenaline-rush activities. They include speed boats pulling devices of various shales (banana, circle…). And you can also enjoy paragliding. I love this. The views are stunning.

#16 – Watersport equipment rental

At Port de Alcudia, not far from the Marina, you can find, windsurfing equipment rental, kayak rental and boat rental.

#17 – Alcanada golf course

And don’t forget about golf. In Alcudia, you can find the Alcanada Golf Club has one of the best golf. The 18 hole course offers beautiful views of Mediterranean Sea (designed by architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. in 2013).

#18 – Karting

If you are looking for more action oriented activities in Alcudia, you can find karting venues. e.g. Kartingmania at Hotel Bellevue. Separate track for adults and teens vs 4 to 7 years old children. See official website.

#19 – Alcudia Nightlife – bars and more

Alcudia is not the most famous place in Mallorca for party and nightlife. But it does not mean there aren’t any. You can find bars, restaurants and dancing places.

The main restaurant area to enjoy at night is around the marina

Then you can head to the Complex with a glass pyramid, where you will find the liveliest area. 

• Located 2 blocks from the seafront in Port de Alcudia near a Lidl
• There you can find a discotheque 
• This is also where you find bars and clubs such as La Nit, Banana Club

#20 – Alcudia Shopping

Alcudia is not the best for shopping. I recommend heading to Palma de Mallorca. However, you can find some in Port de Alcudia and in the Old town. Plus, you have the markets in the old town on Tuesdays and Sundays.

If you have a car, Alcudia is very practical to go explore the region and the entire island. And, even if you don’t have a car, since there are many tourists, there are also many excursions available.

#21 – Boat tour to Formentor

From Alcudia, one of the must-see is the Formentor Peninsula . You can visit it by car. But you can also discover it by boat. There are several options:

• The catamarans and glass-bottom boats mostly head to Formentor beach, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Mallorca.
• The speed boats that can go all the way to Cape Formentor to see the tall cliffs and lighthouse from the sea

Check out the selection of tours on GetYourGuide.

#22 – Dolphin watching tour

Another popular boat tour from Alcudia is the dolphin watching tour. It is not the best destination to watch dolphins compared to other islands or countries. But it is always a thrilling adventure to look at the sea and try to find them! See options

#23 – Beaches on Pollenca Bay

I listed the Alcudia beaches on Alcudia bay. However, just 5min North of Alcudia old town or 10min from Port de Alcudia, you can find other beaches on the Pollença bay. There are smaller with sand and rocks and beautiful scenery. They include:

• Platja de San font de Sant Joan
• Platja de San Pere
• Cala Victoria with the S’Illot area

#24 – Trip to Pollenca

With just a 15min drive (or cab ride) from Alcudia, you can visit the town of Pollenca. Located at one end of the Tramuntana mountains, it is an ancient, medieval town dating back to the Roman Empire. You can enjoy:

• The cobbled streets
• The long stone staircase to El Calvari
• The view over the city from El Calvari
• The Roman bridge

#25 – Alcudia hiking

The end of the Alcudia peninsula is wild. You can enjoy some hiking trails. A famous one starts at La Victoria hermitage and offers great views towards Formentor.

#26 – Sa Bassa Blanca Museum

If you enjoy modern art, just a 10min drive from Alcudia, you can visit the Sa Bassa Blanca Museum. Inside the museum is a good collection on display, with paintings and photos. But it is mostly famous for its collection of sculptures throughout the beautiful park.  See website

#27 – S’Albufera Reserve – bird watching

Bird watchers will enjoy the S’Albufera Natural Park, a protected nature reserve and wetland (protected since 1985). Grass, swamp and abundant birdlife. You can visit on foot or by bike.

#28 – Explore the island!

But Alcudia is also a great base to explore the entire island of Mallorca. And there is much to see. Highlights include:

• The Formentor peninsula with high cliffs
• The hidden beach of Sa Calobra – see article
• The famous Port de Soller and nearby villages – see the best ones
• The beautiful calas of the South and East coasts – Calo des Moro, Mondago Natural Park, Cala Pi… see the best ones

I recommend renting a car to enjoy the freedom of visiting.

Yes, the water in Alcudia is safe to drink. However, it does have a specific taste. You may decided once you taste it.

Are there mosquitoes in Alcudia?

Yes, there are mosquitoes in Alcudia (as the rest of Mallorca in the hot and humid climate). The quantity depends on the weather condition. Even if October you can be bitten quite a lot if they like you as much as me. The worst area is around the lagoon. Beware when choosing your accommodation.

Is Alcudia good for teenagers?

I think Alcudia is a great option with teenagers. Between the beach, the adrenaline rides, the watersport equipment, the karting, the waterpark, there is much for them to do.

Is Alcudia good for nightlife – is it a party place?

Alcudia is not a party place like Magaluf. However, there are bars and clubs in the Port de Alcudia area. And a few hotels along the beach have events every night.

Alcudia, Mallorca

Medieval walled town in the north-east of Mallorca

The medieval town of Alcúdia is the island's largest tourist hub in the north. Located on a peninsula that separates the bays of Pollença and Alcúdia, it boasts a beautiful medieval centre as well as an authentic local atmosphere which draws in tourists all year round.

Alcúdia is a perfectly restored walled city on the site of a Roman settlement with remains of ancient houses and a theatre. The maze of narrow streets enclosed by medieval battlements has been carefully restored as part of Mallorca's new tourist image.

Located about 5 minutes by car from the coast, Alcúdia should not be confused with the beach resort of Port d'Alcúdia . Many of Mallorca's oldest settlements were built several miles inland to provide protection against prowling pirates, while their port and coastal areas were only developed in more recent times as tourism became a major source of income for the island.

Alcudia actually provides a real contrast to the more touristy beach resort of Port d'Alcúdia . With a wealth of history and charm, this town offers visitors an authentic Mallorcan experience. From its big weekly market through to traditional fiestas and fairs and classical music festivals, the town puts on a whole host of cultural events. The boutique style hotels and first class gastronomic restaurants that have opened in the area mean the town is becoming more attractive for those keen to immerse themselves in a wholesome Mallorcan experience whilst visiting the island. It is also surrounded by beautiful countryside, explorable by car or by bicycle .

History & Culture in Alcudia

The first human settlement in Alcúdia dates back to 2000-1300 BC, Pretalayotic settlers whose burial sites (or tombs) have survived to this day in La Cova de S'Hort del Rectoria and under the Roman theatre site. They were followed by Phoenician and Greek settlements but the town reached its heyday in the 2nd century BC when the Roman invaders made it their capital, Pollentia , meaning 'power'.

Romans brought an end to piracy and built an ordered town with well-maintained streets, sewers and drinking water. They also erected an impressive theatre on the outskirts in the year 1 BC, which was capable of holding 2000 spectators. It was built into the bedrock and was likely used for plays and for acrobatics. The semi-circular seating areas are well preserved and the site is open to the public throughout the year.

After the Roman empire declined in the 5th century, Alcúdia was destroyed by Vandals in the 6th century. The town returned to greatness under the Moors, who built Al Qudya ('the town on the hill'). The narrow streets of the old town, especially Carrer d'en Serra, are resonant of its Arab past.

The walls you see today were added after the Spanish conquest in the early 14th century, under the rule of King Jaume II, as a way of protecting the town's inhabitants from further attacks. The most famous is the Portal de Moll or Xara Gate with two square towers and two massive palm trees standing guard, which is the symbol of Alcúdia. Look for the classic 14th-century architecture of Ca'n Torro library, on Carrer d'en Serra. It opened in 1990 in a former mansion and hosts exhibitions and concerts.

Alcúdia was developed for tourism in the 20th century, with the first hotel built in the 1930s and an influx of more hotels and tourist attractions opening after the death of Franco in the 1970s. However, even now, the authenticity of the old town remains intact due to construction regulations in the municipality.

Sights & Attractions in Alcudia

Alcúdia's ancient history has left a rich heritage around the town. The Roman remains of Pollentia are amongst some of the most famous sites. The smallest Roman theatre in Spain also resides here, within which you can see remains of tombs amongst the stands. Those keen to delve deeper into the history of the area will find the archaeological excavation sites really interesting. Maps are available at the tourist information office within the town.

Free guided tours around the historic town of Alcudia take place on Wednesdays between 10:00 and midday. Just head down to the church for 09:50 in the morning to meet the tour guide. Alternatively, you can stroll through the town centre within the medieval and renaissance walls independently, take a peek inside the courtyards of the 16th-century urban palaces ('casals'), and be sure to visit the 19th-century Neogothic parish church of Sant Jaume.

Contemporary art fans should visit the Sa Bassa Blanca Museum , where 16th to 19th-century paintings are exhibited alongside 20th-century sculptures and some lovely gardens. The museum is open Monday to Saturday from 10.00 to 18.00.

Lovers of the great outdoors or those keen to get away from the tourist hot spots should visit the natural parks of S'Albufera and S'Albufereta which are located near Alcúdia. These wetland areas are world renowned sites for birdwatching. Here it’s possible to catch a glimpse of rare migrants like Montagu's harriers and Eleonora's falcons; other species breeding in this area include stonechats, moustached warblers and the long-eared owl.

Beaches in Alcudia

The beaches in this area are made up of fine golden sand and the sea is light blue and shallow enough for families with young children to safely enjoy it. Parasols and sun loungers dominate the northern part of the coastline but, the further south you go, the quieter and prettier it becomes.

One of the most popular local festivals in Alcúdia is the annual nautical fair in April, which features the cuttlefish. The town's restaurants put on a gastronomic extravaganza, and you will also find an exhibition of boats, a craft market, children’s parties and more.
