If you're looking for a vacation that has everything, then Alcudia holidays may be just the ticket. Port d'Alcudia is a town on the top of a curving bay in the north of Majorca. The port takes its name from the nearby historical Alcudia. For a relaxing beach holiday there is no better spot as the white sandy beach stretches for over five miles. Needless to say that the beach here is the main attraction.
You’ll find many local shops along the beach road and in the resort, but for boutiques you’ll need to visit nearby Playa de Muro. There is a local market open on Tuesday and Sunday mornings in Alcudia old town, and you can unearth excellent leather and porcelain products there for souvenirs. There are many restaurants, cafes and fast food options available in Alcudia too, most catering to the British palate. You can also find a few international flavours at some Italian, Indian and Chinese eateries. Recommended restaurants that combine good food with a great view include the Nova Marina, Bistro Mar, Rancho Chico and Garlanda.

Most of the activities and attractions centre on the beach and there are many water sports to take part in. The resort offers squash and tennis courts and there is a water park, horse riding stables and a go cart track nearby. You can also take a boat to Formentor or catch a bus to old town Alcudia, Pollensa and Lluc. These towns are an excellent place to experience some traditional Majorcan culture.
In the region there is also a Bronze Age settlement in the hilltop town of Arta to visit, where inhabitants have lived for over 3, 000 years. You can also view the olive groves and carob trees just outside the town. Nearby scenic Pollensa is still relatively unspoilt too, and was originally settled inland for protection against pirates. Such culture and excellent resort facilities certainly make an Alcudia holiday one to remember.
