Holidays to Alcudia

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.

Sandy toes, sorted

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.

An oldie but a goodie

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.

Snorkel, paddleboard, repeat

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)!

Pedal power

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.

Top beaches: Sun, sand and flip-flop fun

Sink your toes into the soft sands and paddle-friendly waters at the super-long Playa de Alcudia – Majorca’s largest beach and a real family fave. If you’re after a splash of adrenaline, Alcudia has jet-skiing, paddleboarding and bumpy banana boat rides (hold on tight)! Fancy something more chilled? Neighbouring Playa de Muro is your spot. Here you’ll find pine trees for shade and fewer sunbathers.

Culture and history: Alcudia’s timeless charms

An Alcudia holiday is more than just a beach break. It’s a cultural goldmine too. Stroll through the charming Old Town and walk atop its medieval walls to enjoy a panoramic view of the Bay of Pollensa. Got a taste for tapas? The local markets in the Old Town and at the port are overflowing with delicious bites. And over at Sa Bassa Blanca Museum, you can take in contemporary art and stunning sea views.

Family-friendly: Kid-approved adventures

Alcudia gets a gold star for family fun. The beaches are safe, the waters calm and the parks perfect for a picnic. If your kids have energy to burn (when don’t they?), explore S’Albufera Natural Park with its wildlife-packed trails. At Ranxo Ses Roques, you can enjoy pony rides and a petting zoo, while Hidropark Alcudia is sure to keep kids busy with its slides, splash zones and lazy rivers.

When to go to Alcudia

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.
