The mediaeval walled town of Alcúdia is situated one kilometre away from its eponymous port, Puerto de Alcúdia, built inland to prevent potential pirate attacks. Steeped in history, this traditional stone settlement in one of the northernmost points on the island sits in the foothills of the Tramuntana mountains, which makes for spectacular scenery and an otherworldly feel. Despite its romantic remoteness, there is plenty to do here: cultural attractions, gastronomic experiences, plus sporting activities, including hiking, cycling, and kitesurfing.
Top 3 activities
Stroll around old town
Soak up the beauty and history of Alcúdia with an afternoon wander around the winding streets of this well‑preserved town. Start at the gate and explore the narrow cobbled alleyways where you can browse the independent shops and observe locals about their daily business. Don’t forget to step into the neo‑Gothic church of Sant Jaume to marvel at the stained glass of the rose window before stopping for a coffee or lunch in the main square, where you will find fine‑dining restaurants.

Puerto de Alcúdia at sunset
Although the 7 kilometre beach is one of the main attractions, the port and upmarket marina, once a fishing harbour, is a delightful place for a pre‑dinner walk to peruse the fishing boats and luxury yachts. Time it so that you also catch the sunset.
