Alcudia Majorca All Inclusive: Resorts, Weather and Tips

In general terms, all inclusive means your main meals, usually buffet-style, plus snacks through the day and local drinks, both alcoholic and soft, are included in what you pay before you travel. Branded spirits, premium wines and some à la carte restaurants are often charged extra, and bar hours vary, so it is worth reading the board description for each hotel before you choose.

For all inclusive holidays in Alcudia, Majorca, that arrangement suits the rhythm of the place well. You can spend the morning at the pool, wander the old town walls or the ruins of Pollentia after lunch, and come back for dinner without thinking about the bill. If you would rather eat out more often, half board or bed and breakfast can be compared on the same deal buttons.

Alcúdia is a single coastal municipality of nearly 20,000 people, so the choice is less about which resort and more about which side of town. The port side, known to many British travellers as Puerto Alcúdia or Port d'Alcúdia, faces the sea and is where larger resort-style hotels with pools and entertainment tend to sit, which is what most people mean when they search for all inclusive hotels in Alcudia, Majorca.

The historic heart, l'Alcúdia, is the better base for character: its medieval city walls, the bullring, the Roman archaeological site of Pollentia and the Museu monogràfic de Pol·lèntia are all within walking distance. Wherever you stay, Puig de Sant Martí is about 2 miles out, the small beach of Sa Farradura around 2.5 miles away, and Hidropark water park barely half a mile from the centre.

For guaranteed heat, July and August are the safest bets, averaging 32°C and 31°C, with July almost dry at around two rain days. June is a gentler 28°C, and September still reaches 27°C, though it sees closer to ten rain days, so expect the odd shower.

April and November are the quieter favourites, both averaging around 21°C: comfortable for walking up to Puig de Sant Martí or exploring Pollentia without the midsummer heat. May is warm at 23°C but is the wettest month by rain days, while winter highs sit at 16 to 17°C, mild for a stroll round the walls but not beach weather.

Most British travellers book Alcúdia as a package: flight, hotel and transfers together. Palma de Mallorca is the airport, with direct flights from across the UK, and the road transfer takes about 41 minutes, short enough that small children rarely notice it. When you compare a hotel in Alcudia, Majorca, all inclusive against half board, check what drinks and snacks are covered and whether a kids' club is part of it.

Families should expect prices to rise across the UK school holidays, especially in August; travelling in April or late in the season, if you can, usually gives more choice.

Ferry links from Alcúdia's own port, about a mile away, also make a day trip to Ciutadella in Menorca possible.
