The jewel of Spain’s Balearic Islands. Mallorca is well known for its lively nightlife & beaches bathed in sunlight. The nestled in the island’s northeast is a town that offers something more timeless:
Alcudia. With its mix of medieval charm, natural beauty and coastal appeal, Alcudia is a destination that captures both the heart and the imagination.
Step inside the ancient city gates of Alcudia’s Old Town and you’ll find yourself walking through centuries of history. Encircled by 14th century walls. This area features narrow cobbled streets, quaint stone houses and historic landmarks at every turn. The weekly markets, held on Tuesdays and Sundays, bring the town to life with colorful stalls selling local produce, handmade crafts and artisanal goods. It is the ideal location to experience island life’s slower pace.
A short walk from the historic center lies Playa de Alcudia. A seven kilometer stretch of soft white sand that gently meets the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. Known for its family friendly atmosphere. This beach offers shallow waters ideal for children, along with plenty of sun loungers, beach bars and water sports facilities. For a quieter beach day head further along the coast to Playa de Muro or the serene Alcanada Beach. Where pine trees provide natural shade and the crowds are fewer.
Nature enthusiasts are drawn to the S’Albufera Natural Park. Located just outside Alcudia. This protected wetland area is home to more than 200 species of birds and boasts a network of walking and cycling trails through lagoons, marshes and wildflower meadows. It’s a peaceful contrast to the island’s busier tourist spots & offers excellent opportunities for photography and birdwatching.
Adventure seekers often make the short trip up to Mirador de la Victoria. A scenic viewpoint offering sweeping views of the coastline and the Bay of Pollensa. Whether you are hiking up from the beach or driving along the winding coastal road. The panorama from the top is worth every step.
Additionally, Alcudia provides a rich culinary experience. Traditional Mallorcan dishes such as tumbet a layered vegetable bake. Suckling pig and the island’s beloved sobrasada are found in both rustic tavernas & upscale restaurants. Many eateries are located in charming courtyards or along the town’s old stone streets, providing a cozy and authentic atmosphere for dining.
The town’s overall vibe is laid back and welcoming with a wide range of accommodation that caters to families couples and solo travelers alike. From boutique hotels in restored historic buildings to modern seaside resorts. There’s something to suit every style and budget. In the evening, street performers, open air cafés and relaxed bars create an inviting setting to wind down after a day of exploring.
