A stroll through the old town will allow you to discover important historical buildings, such as the medieval walls and the Gothic church of Oratori de Santa Ana.

And, of course, there’s no doubt that you’ll also be mesmerised by the s’Albufera National Park.

Playa Alcudia in Majorca
This urban beach is a fun, inviting and well-serviced location. Located in the town of Alcudia, it’s 80 metres wide and 3.4 kilometres long.
Beautifully nestled in the surrounding vegetation, it’s great for water activities like jet skiing and banana boating. In fact, it’s divided into two parts, one of which begins at the marina.
If you like busy beaches, crowded with the possibility of meeting interesting people, then this is the place for you. Its terraces and beach bars have a life of their own! Do you want to soar into the sky? Enjoy paragliding over the Mediterranean with unbeatable views.
S'Illot
The rugged and somewhat wild character of this double-arched beach is its main attraction. It’s a stony and gravelly environment, but will surprise you with its natural scenery and its welcoming atmosphere.
The greenish waters, the scattering of large rocks and the beauty of its fauna make it a marvellous enclave. Do you like diving or snorkelling? The fish and octopuses that you’ll see will leave you captivated. Almost as much as the adrenaline rush of launching yourself from the small island that towers above this extraordinary expanse of sea.
Playa de Muro
This beach in Alcudia, Majorca is a unique setting for families. It’s located in the tiny town of Muro, from which it gets its name, and is very close to Port d’Alcúdia. Its four sections stretch along six kilometres of white sand, in between beautiful, winding dunes.
As well as families, it’s frequented by all kinds of tourists and locals. Its shallow waters make it extremely safe, as you would have to walk a long way to reach the deep areas.
It’s a fun-filled swimming area, with a great range of activities, crystal clear waters and, on windy days, good waves to enjoy some surfing. You can also go stand up paddle boarding, windsurfing, kite surfing and pedal boating.
Sant Pere
Lovers of Alcudia’s wild and distinctive beaches will find an incomparable little spot in Sant Pere. With only 100 metres of very fine sand, and facilities in the summer season, it is spectacularly beautiful, outlined by rocks.
It stands out for its cleanliness and the transparency of its waters, which are actually quite shallow. After sunset, the atmosphere is unique. You can go to various fun-filled beach bars.
Sant Joan
You only have to travel three kilometres from Alcudia to find this sandy, rocky beach. In summer, the distant Bay of Pollensa offers an eye-catching panorama. It’s ideal for selfies and stunning photos!
It’s also a great place for diving, as it has a rich native fauna. Its depths are full of colour, contrasts and surprises. It’s an idyllic adventure that never disappoints.
