Mallorca, Balearic Islands

Alcúdia & Port d’Alcúdia

A perfectly preserved medieval walled town, Roman ruins, and the north’s finest family beaches.

Historic north

Walls, ruins and sea

Alcúdia is one of Mallorca’s most complete historic towns — its 14th-century walls still encircle the old quarter almost intact, enclosing a maze of narrow streets, a Roman amphitheatre, and some of the best restaurants in the north.

Port d’Alcúdia, just two kilometres away, offers a long, gently shelving sandy beach that is among the finest on the island for families.
