Alcudia holidays are proper classic – think sunny Majorcan beaches with plenty of family-friendly attractions, plus a dreamy old town with a rich history to explore.
If paradise means soft sands and turquoise waters, Alcudia is it. Playa de Alcudia and popular Playa de Muro serve up miles of sand perfect for paddling and wannabe watersport pros. Stay at a beachfront resort to roll out of bed straight onto the sand – no shoes required! Whether you're after full adrenaline or zen vibes, Alcudia’s beaches stretch far enough to tick all the boxes.
Alcudia isn’t just a pretty face – the Old Town is a fever dream of culture. Behind medieval city walls, you’ll discover cobblestone alleys, a bustling market and boutique shops beckoning you in for a little retail therapy. Swing by the neo-gothic Sant Jaume Church for a dash of architectural awe. The main square is the heart of the action, so grab a table, load it up with fresh seafood and soak up that irresistible Majorcan atmosphere. Elsewhere, the neighbouring ruins of Pollentia, which date back to around 100 BCE, transport you to a time when the ancient city was the Roman capital of the Balearic Islands.
If the sea calls your name, you’re in for a treat! Grab your snorkel and dive into the Med’s colourful underwater world. Cala Sant Vicenc, with its crystal-clear waters and rocky coves, is a top spot. Or take a boat trip out to Formentor to enjoy hidden coves and dramatic cliffs. More of a paddleboarder? You can glide along the coast and soak in the views of Alcudia Bay (as long as you can stay upright)!
Why not strike out onto Alcudia’s flat terrain on a cycling adventure? This area is perfect for casual riding, so there’s no Lycra required! Check out the area’s relaxed countryside rides or join seasoned cyclists to take on the famous Cap de Formentor – a lung-busting climb with jaw-dropping views. Sure, your legs might burn, but the vistas are worth every pedal! Plus, there’s always a café at the end for a well-earned treat.

Alcudia basks in sunshine pretty much all year round, making it a fantastic holiday choice whenever you plan to visit. Spring and autumn bring warm days and cooler evenings, which is ideal if you want to pack in the action during the day.
Summer means one thing: sizzling beach days! For cheap Alcudia holidays, consider a late summer getaway when the crowds thin out (and deals pick up), but the weather is still glorious.
