Just a few kilometres from Mallorca's beautiful northern coast, Alcúdia is ringed by high medieval walls, behind which lies a maze of cobbled streets. A picturesque destination for culture and history buffs, this wonderful town is filled with fascinating landmarks — some of which are mere moments from our pick of the best places to stay in Alcúdia.

Warm, honey-coloured stone villas and grand houses line Alcúdia’s ancient plazas and narrow lanes. Some buildings now house lovely cafés, buzzy bars and chic boutiques, perfect for relaxed wanderers to discover on foot. Don’t miss the neo-Gothic Sant Jaume church, built into the medieval fortifications, nor the imposing Portal del Moll. The Museu Monografic de Pol-lentia, another must-see, houses archaeological artefacts from the nearby Roman ruins, which are best seen with an expert guide. Modern art aficionados, on the other hand, will adore the Museo Sa Bossa Blanca, with its sculpture park and rose garden.

No trip to coastal Mallorca is complete without at least some time soaking up the sunshine at the beach. Roll out your towel at the Platja des Coll Baix or the Platja de Sa Font de Sant Joan. You’ll also find it easy to organise boat trips, windsurfing, sailing and kayaking excursions through your hotel. For hiking and birdwatching, look to the S’Albufera Natural Park, one of the most important wetland ecosystems in the Balearic Islands and home to around 270 species of birds. Like much of Mallorca, this is a hugely busy summer destination, so book your room at the best places to stay in Alcúdia well in advance!
