This bustling resort, which boasts the longest beach in Mallorca, was once a Roman settlement and the capital of the island "Pollentia".

The remnants of its Roman origins can still be seen as the old town is surrounded by an almost complete wall dating back to the 14th century.

Today, Alcudia is a sophisticated resort where an inviting array of boutiques, shops, bars and restaurants line the gentle sweep of the bay. There is also a picturesque fishing port, which still thrives today.

The attractive Bay of Alcudia not only offers over 4miles of fine clean white sands, palm trees and striking mountain views but hosts beach-side cafes, restaurants and water sports. The warm, shallow waters of Alcudia Bay are ideal and combined with its clear blue sea without a doubt the beach is a major attraction.
Alcudia is superb for water sports and boasts a wide choice to choose from for all the family to enjoy. You can hire from a wide choice of dinghies, catamarans and windsurfers. From pedalos to paragliding, if you enjoy partaking in water sports you will never be stuck for something to do.
Fiestas in Mallorca are taken very seriously, although Alcudia does seem to have more that its fair share. The main event is in the month of June, a procession at sea where decorated boats accompany a statue of the patron saint to the sea and sail in the bay.
A little less than a month later on July 25th they remember Saint James the patron of Alcudia. This fiesta lasts for a week and during this time there are a lot of activities including concerts, open-air dances, and religious ceremonies.
