Holiday in Alcúdia

What makes Alcúdia special as a destination?

Alcúdia uniquely combines history and beach enjoyment on Mallorca's northern coast — the fully preserved medieval city wall from the 14th century encloses a labyrinth of narrow streets with cafés, boutiques, and the best market on the island, while just a few minutes' walk away lies one of the longest and flattest sandy beaches in Mallorca. Platja d'Alcúdia stretches over seven kilometers from the old town to Can Picafort and is considered an ideal family beach due to its extremely shallow water entry — children can wade meters into the sea without the water reaching their knees. The bay of Alcúdia is sheltered from the wind, and the water shimmers in Caribbean tones over the bright sand. In the hinterland of the city lie the Roman ruins of Pollentia with a well-preserved theater — Mallorca's most significant archaeological site. The S'Albufera Nature Park, the largest wetland in the Balearics, is a paradise for birdwatchers and offers hiking trails through reed landscapes and pine forests, right behind the beach dunes. In recent years, Alcúdia has transformed from a classic package holiday destination to a versatile travel destination with upscale gastronomy, cycling infrastructure, and cultural events in the old town — all while maintaining its relaxed charm.
