The Alcúdia Old Town is a beautifully preserved gem that captures the charm and history of Alcúdia. Walking through its cobbled streets feels like stepping back in time.

The Plaça Major, the town’s central square, is the heartbeat of Alcúdia Old Town. Lined with charming cafés and restaurants, it’s perfect for people-watching over a cup of coffee or enjoying a leisurely lunch. On market days, the square comes alive with stalls selling local crafts, fresh produce, and handmade goods, offering an authentic taste of Mallorcan culture.

History buffs will appreciate landmarks like the Roman ruins of Pollentia, located just on the edge of the Old Town, or the impressive city walls, which you can walk along for panoramic views of the town and surrounding countryside.

Despite its historical roots, Alcúdia Old Town feels vibrant and modern in all the right ways. Boutique shops, local galleries, and cozy tapas bars blend seamlessly with the ancient architecture.

Alcúdia Beach has been awarded the Blue Flag, an international certification recognising beaches with excellent water quality, safety, environmental management, and services.

Alcúdia Beach is one of the longest beaches in Mallorca, stretching roughly 3–7 km along the bay, and connects with neighboring beaches such as Playa de Muro.

The beach has fine white sand and at 80 m wide never feels crowded!

The sea slopes very gradually, meaning you can walk far out before the water becomes deep. This makes it particularly popular with families.

Alcúdia Beach is one of the best-equipped beaches on the island, with:

lifeguard towers and rescue boats

sun loungers and parasols

showers and toilets

water sports like paddle boats and parasailing

beach bars and restaurants along the promenade.

The promenade runs alongside much of the beach, making it ideal for walking, cycling, or sunset strolls, with easy access to cafés, shops, and hotels.
