Where to Stay in Alcudia

Finding the right accommodation is central to any holiday, and the area offers a variety of options to suit different preferences. When choosing your base, consider the following:

• PortBlue Club Pollentia Resort and Spa (Alcudia): This impressive 4-star destination is an extensive resort complex situated between Alcúdia and Pollença, Mallorca, offering plenty of space and amenities for guests to enjoy.

Choosing a resort like this ensures you have everything you need on-site, which is particularly helpful if you prefer to have all your facilities, pools, and leisure services within easy walking distance of your room.

Beaches and Coastal Appeal

The primary draw for most visitors to Alcudia is the coastline. You can expect long, sweeping stretches of soft sand and clear, shallow waters, which are famously safe for younger swimmers. The beaches here are well-maintained and perfect for an afternoon of sunbathing or a relaxed stroll along the shoreline. For those who prefer a little more activity, the coastal areas often host various watersports, providing a great way to cool off while enjoying the Mediterranean breeze.

Food and Local Culture

A holiday in Alcudia is a wonderful opportunity to experience the laid-back pace of life in the Balearic Islands. Exploring the local town provides a glimpse into the history of the region, where you can wander through narrow, picturesque streets and take in the traditional architecture. When it comes to dining, there is a variety of local food to explore, ranging from fresh seafood dishes to classic Spanish tapas. It is the perfect environment for leisurely lunches that drift into long, warm evenings.

When to Go and Getting Around

Most British travellers head to this part of Spain between May and October to make the most of the consistent sunshine. July and August are typically the warmest months, making them ideal for beach lovers, while the shoulder months of May, June, and September offer slightly milder temperatures that are perfect for exploring the town or taking advantage of hotel facilities without the peak summer heat. Getting to your resort is generally efficient, with regular transfers available from the airport to ensure your holiday starts as smoothly as possible.

Who Should Visit Alcudia?

Alcudia is incredibly versatile. It is a firm favourite for families, largely due to the shallow, calm waters and the variety of kid-friendly resorts. However, couples also find it an appealing choice, particularly those who enjoy a combination of coastal relaxation and the ability to explore a historic town at their own pace. It suits travellers who appreciate a well-organised holiday where the infrastructure is designed to take the stress out of travel, allowing you to simply arrive and unwind.
