The most popular place in Mallorca for family beach holidays
On the north coast of Mallorca lies the Bay of Alcudia, a gorgeous coastline comprising of turquoise shallow waters and long, soft golden sandy beaches. It is therefore not much of a surprise to find Majorca's biggest beach resort here. From Port d'Alcudia, in the west, to Can Picafort 10km down the coast, you will find a strip of apartment blocks and resort style hotels that offer everything from budget self-catering to luxurious five-star accommodation.
As the name Port d'Alcudia or Puerto Alcudia suggests, this was once just a port serving the inland town of Alcudia. The area around the old fishing harbour is now the most attractive, an upmarket marina where fishing boats sit along luxury leisure yachts. From here, there is a pedestrianised promenade that runs along the coastline. On this promenade and within the streets behind, you will find a good selection of bars, cafes and restaurants. Apartments and hotels can be found from the shoreline backwards, a very built up area. Although it is prettier down by the waterfront, there is a canal system that leads to an inland lake, creating a system of waterways between the buildings adding a level of charm to this area.
Being a tourist resort, most of the hotels, restaurants and bars are only open in the summer months between April and October. If you're looking for a more cultural experience, head to the ancient town of Alcudia a few kilometres inland - it's a wonderfully restored Medieval town with city walls and Roman ruins which boasts one of the best markets in Mallorca.
Port d’Alcudia hosts a selection of events throughout the year, from traditional Mallorcan fiesta’s through to first class sporting competitions.
Traditional events are big in Mallorca and, for Puerto Alcudia, the Sant Pere Festival in June is one of the biggest and best. It’s a maritime affair, as the locals celebrate the port's patron saint, and entails a week of entertainment, parties, dancing, music and more.
The day of Sant Pere (29 June) starts with a sea and land procession with a statue of Saint Peter and finishes with a fireworks display at midnight.
Big in this part of Mallorca. Port d'Alcudia is the start and finish line for the iconic cycling event Mallorca 312 which normally takes place in late April or early May and attracts thousands of cycling enthusiasts from across Europe. IronMan 70.3 Mallorca is another huge sporting event bringing thousands of athletes over to the island in May.

Port d'Alcudia's history is really of the modern era, once a little fishing port that served nearby Alcudia, the building of four and five storey hotels in the 1980s turned it into a thriving holiday destination.
In the 1950s, under Franco, a power station was built in the port, which was closed in the nineties and replaced and rebuilt further away from the tourist area - although its towers still dominate the skyline.

Playa de Alcudia is the longest stretch of beach in Mallorca thanks to its 7km of soft, golden sand. The stretch of beach closest to the port is known as Ciudad Blanca (White City in English). Some way down the coast, it gets quieter and then changes from being Alcudia Beach to Playa de Muro. Here the beach narrows somewhat and, without as many facilities, it has a more relaxed vibe. Continuing in this direction, you will reach the calmer holiday resort of Can Picafort.
