Villas in Alcudia

The medieval town of Alcudia is the largest tourist destination in northern Majorca. Situated on a peninsula that separates the ports of Pollensa and Alcudia, this charming ancient resort boasts an authentic local atmosphere, beautiful beaches, luxurious villas and a fascinating history that spans as far back as before the Bronze Age. The town is easy to reach by car, bus or taxi and Palma de Majorca airport is not far away.

Up until the 13th century Alcudia was under the Moorish occupation, when in 1362 King James II of Aragon bought a farmstead known as Alcudia, where the story of this beautiful region begins. The first thing you notice about this little gem is its medieval wall and towers guarded by two historic gates. The Old Town is at the heart of Alcudia and visitors can enter through the two historic gates of La Porta del Moll and La Puerta de Majorca. These magnificent gates are flanked by historic watch towers connected by a thick stone arch. The Old Town itself is surrounded by well-preserved medieval walls which visitors can walk on.

As a change from sunbathing you can also visit S'Albufera Natural Park, 5km south of Port d'Alcudia; it’s famous for its wetlands and bird watching. Or surprise your family with a visit to Hidropark, a water park in Port d'Alcudia. You can enjoy a nice game of golf at Club de Golf Alcanada, some 3km east of the port. If you feel like getting more acquainted with the history of Spanish people, you can do that at the Fundación Yannick y Ben Jakober. Additionally, there are several hiking trails leading from the Talaia d'Alcúdia wildlife park to Mirador Penya des Migdia for any outdoor enthusiast to enjoy.

The region enjoys a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot, dry summers. From June the temperature rises up to 30°C, with an average daytime temperature of 27°C. There’s relatively little rain in the peak summer months so make sure you enjoy the beautiful nearby beaches or relax in your villa’s own private pool. Stay in one of our Alcudia villas to explore everything this charming region has to offer: charming 13th Century houses, palm-lined beaches and atmospheric restaurants, cafés and shops. Some of northern Majorca’s most beautiful beaches are just a few miles away and are easily reached by one of the regular buses from Alcudia to Port d'Alcudia. Playa de Alcudia, one of Majorca’s most spectacular Blue Flag beaches, is right on your doorstep. At 7km long it’s the longest beach on the island and it stretches from Port de Alcudia to Cuidad Blanca. In the centre of town lies the Church of St. Jaume, as well as a Roman theatre less than a kilometre away. Alcudia is a home to traditional fiestas, fairs and classical music festivals. It has one of the best markets on the island and it is surrounded by beautiful countryside which is easy to explore by car or bicycle.
