Living & buying in Alcúdia
Alcúdia pairs history with the beach: a beautifully preserved medieval walled town, the Roman remains of Pollentia, and one of Mallorca's longest sandy bays just minutes away.
- Medieval walled old town & Roman Pollentia
- Long sandy bay & marina at Bonaire
- Strong holiday-rental demand (ETV)
- ~45–50 min to Palma airport
What it's like to live here
The old town's golden-stone streets, gates and weekly market sit inland, while the bay — from Alcúdia and Playa de Muro to the marina at Bonaire and the quiet coves of Mal Pas — stretches along the coast. It works as a lively summer base and a calm year-round home alike.
Families are drawn by the shallow, sandy beaches and the green space of the s'Albufera natural park nearby.
The property market
Choices range from apartments and townhouses near the beach to substantial villas in Bonaire and Mal Pas, plus fincas on the plain behind the town. Front-line and sea-view homes command a premium; inland and old-town options offer more value.
Holiday-rental demand is strong here, so a valid ETV licence can be a real asset — we flag which homes already hold one.
Practical details
The airport is around 45–50 minutes by car. Alcúdia keeps year-round amenities — supermarkets, health services, schools and a marina — so it doesn't empty out in winter the way some resort towns do.
