Alcudia and the surrounding area offer a variety of activities for the young, the more mature, golfers and families. The warm shallow waters of Alcudia Bay make this resort very popular with families with young children, and the beach is without doubt a major attraction with fine, clean sand with a wide variety of water sport and other facilities available to suit all tastes. Whatever part of the beach you choose; you will never be more than a few hundred metres from the nearest beach bar or cafe.

In addition you have the impressive Old Town of Alcudia which is rich in culture and where you can discover more about the interesting and dramatic history of the area. The original old town of Alcudia is 2 miles inland from the coastal development, and it is certainly worth a visit during your stay with parts of the town dating back to around 1300. What visitors may not realise however is that it was the Phoenicians and Greeks who first settled here, closely followed in the 2nd century BC by the Romans, who made Alcudia the capital of the island.

The now world famous Aucanada Golf is finally open to the public and here you can enjoy a wonderful day of golf as you enjoy the view of the Mediterranean sea which is just a stones throw away from the course. Also from Aucanada you can catch the ferry which brings you to Menorca if you fancy seeing another beautiful Balearic island.

The marina and fishing port is thriving and there are a great variety of shops for those who can escape the lure of the beach. Shops and boutiques are spread across the resort, so a day of shopping will involve a fair bit of walking. In the marina itself you can choose between a variety of restaurants and it is a wonderful place to go for a stroll and have a look at the many impressive yachts and motor boats who choose to throw their anchor in our bay.

Alcudia has always been a popular resort for holidaymakers, but each year we see an increase in many people wanting to come here to settle down. With broadband easily installed in even the most remote country house, and the easy low cost flights to Mallorca, suddenly what has been a dream for many can now become reality. You can actually enjoy the best of both worlds by owning a second home in the area.
