Where To Go And What To Do
Alcudia has a wealth of activities for every member of the family.
The beach itself is a major attraction with its clean, white, powdery sand, shallow turquoise waters backed by pine fringed walkways. Visitors can sunbathe, swim, walk, sit in the shade or take part in the many watersport activities available. Whatever part of the beach you choose you will never be more than a few hundred metres from the nearest beach bar or cafe.
Alcudia Bay View is situated on the Cuidad Blanca (White City) - a luxury complex of gardens and pools, sporting facilities, bars and restaurants. In the evening Ciudad Blanca hosts a variety of entertainment to suit the oldest and the youngest in your party.
Port d'Alcudia is a haven for those who like to stroll from shop-to-shop, stopping for a coffee whilst watching the coming-and-going of boats in the harbour, which offer daily trips. With chic open air cafes and excellent fish restaurants, the port blends the best of old and new for day or night.
Alternatively, you may wish to take a trip into the walled city of Alcudia to wander through the narrow streets and soak up the atmosphere of the squares. Visit on Sundays or Tuesdays to buy fresh fruit, vegetables and local delicacies as well as leather shoes and gifts.
Local kids' attractions include the Hidro Park, Movieland and crazy golf courses.
Or venture further afield to visit the nearby towns of Pollenca and its port. From Port Pollenca climb the steep roads up to Formentor, stopping to take-in the breathtaking scenery. Spend a day in the mountains visiting the monastery of Lluc or take the train from Palma up through the orange groves to the quaint old fishing town of Soller.
Visit Valdemossa with its domed cathedral made famous by Chopin and carry on into Deia, home to many artists in the swinging 60's and today's celebrities, whose luxury villas you can spot nestling on rocky cliffs.
No trip to Majorca is complete without a day in Palma taking in the beautiful cathedral, fountains, plaza and chic, cosmopolitan avenues. |
