I still remember the first time I arrived in Alcudia. It was a summer afternoon, the sun slowly setting over the medieval walls, and the scent of the sea mingling with orange blossoms. What seemed like a simple visit became the beginning of a love story with a place that is not just a holiday destination, but a home. Living in Alcudia means opening the door to a lifestyle where history, the sea, and tranquility live in harmony.
A town with Mediterranean soul
Strolling through the cobbled streets of Alcudia’s old town feels like stepping back in time. Its 14th-century walls embrace a historic centre full of life, cafés, and local markets. Life here is unhurried, with mornings marked by church bells and evenings at the marina.
The sea as a neighbour
The Bay of Alcudia, with its fine sand and turquoise waters, is among the most beautiful in the Mediterranean. Living near Playa de Muro or in hidden coves like Barcarés makes every day feel like a holiday.
Residential areas full of character
Bonaire and Mal Pas: exclusive, with a small marina and views over Pollensa Bay.
Alcanada: luxury villas and the renowned Alcanada Golf Course, one of Europe’s best.
Barcarés: family-oriented and authentic, with peaceful coves.
Modern life with local charm
Alcudia offers the best of both worlds: tradition and modern amenities, including international schools, supermarkets, diverse gastronomy, and easy connections across the island.
A welcoming community
Families, remote professionals, and retirees find in Alcudia a safe, cosmopolitan environment. The sense of community grows in weekly markets, nature walks in S’Albufera Natural Park, or dinners by the sea.
Living in Alcudia: more than a destination
Moving here is not just changing your house—it’s embracing a Mediterranean lifestyle where every day feels like a gift. Alcudia is not just for holidays: it’s a place to call home.
