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 people looking for Alcudia property 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. Visitors to the old town today enter the narrow streets through one of the two gates that were constructed, along with the impressive city walls, after the conquest of the island by King Jaime I of Spain. The best way to fully appreciate this side of Alcudia, is to take the 2 hour guided walking tour that is organised by the local tourist office usually every Wednesday starting at lunch time.
The actual port and holiday resort of Alcudia, where most of the hotels and Alcudia property developments have taken place over the last few decades, lies at the western end of the magnificent Bay of Alcudia, which runs for over 8km through Playa de Muro and onto the resort of C'an Picafort in the east. Many of the tour operators conveniently refer to the hotels of Playa de Muro as being in Alcudia, however, the resort is quite remote and some considerable distance from the centre of Alcudia. Playa de Muro does have a far higher proportion of 4 and 5 star hotels and aparthotels than Alcudia.
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 an ideal place for Alcudia property. Alcudia is not a loud resort. Evening entertainment here is mainly hotel based, however, the resort does have a small number of late night bars and nightclubs. But in all fairness, these could never compare either in quantity or volume to the all night clubs in the popular south coast resorts which unashamedly target the very profitable 18 to 30's market. Overall we feel that Alcudia is a good quality mainstream beach resort, which is especially suitable for families.
