Alcúdia: Location and surroundings of this property

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 town has a commercial port with ferry connections to Barcelona, Valencia, Menorca and Toulon in France and nautical facilities in the yacht marina ‘AlcudiaMar’ are outstanding. 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 sea view. 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. Twice weekly markets take place every Tuesday and Sunday in Alcudia and on Fridays in the Port. 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.
