Puerto de Alcudia belonging to the borough of Alcudia is a fabulous, busy resort located in the north of Mallorca that is only a 45 minute drive from the capital Palma de Mallorca and the airport. The town has a constant population of around 5,000, in the winter a sunny haven for the locals and in the summer a bustling holiday resort with a spectacular beach “Playa de Alcudia” within the biggest horseshoe bay in Europe.

The safe beach conditions, a wide choice of properties with holiday rental permission and the super facilities within the town, which includes a waterpark and a local Wakepark make it the perfect holiday destination for Spanish and foreign families. Places of interest include Alcanada, a small residential area on the outskirts of the Port, with its own romantic beach and coastline. Here you will find an assortment of villas and apartments, most enjoying a magnificent seaview. Facilities include a couple of hotels, a supermarket, bar and a few restaurants not forgetting the wonderful restaurant in Golf Alcanada, the beautiful 18 hole club. The historic centre of the lovely old town of Alcudia is just a 10/15 minute walk from the port and is well worth a visit.

The municipality has two hospitals, there is an international primary school in Crestatx (15 minutes from the Port) and the largest wetlands in the Balearic Islands, the “S'Albufera Park” – ideal for lovers of flora and fauna.
