Majorca Hotels in Alcúdia: Where to Stay and Booking Tips

Resort · Balearic Islands · Mallorca · Spain

Looking at Majorca hotels in Alcúdia usually means choosing between two moods within one town on Mallorca's north-east coast. There is the walled old town, with its city walls, bullring and the Roman site of Pollentia on the doorstep. Then there is the port side, which many British travellers know as Puerto Alcúdia, with the ferry port about a mile away. The drive from Palma de Mallorca airport, which has direct flights from the UK, takes around 41 minutes. July peaks at about 32°C with only two rainy days, while April and November sit near 21°C. This page shows live hotel prices, so you can compare stays side by side before you book.

Where to base yourself

Alcúdia is a single municipality of nearly 20,000 people, but it splits naturally into the historic town and the coast around the port. Staying near the old centre puts you within walking distance of the City walls of Alcúdia, the bullring, the remains of Pollentia and the Museu monogràfic de Poŀlèntia, which interprets the Roman finds. It suits travellers who like an evening stroll through stone streets rather than a seafront strip.

The port side, often searched as Puerto Alcúdia or Port d'Alcúdia, is the choice for those who want the sea at the end of the road. The ferry port is about a mile from the centre, the Hidropark water park is roughly half a mile away, and the protected headland of Puig de Sant Martí lies about 2 miles out. For a beach day further along, Sa Farradura is around 2.5 miles from town.

Hotels, villas and self catering

What British travellers search for here tells you a lot about how the town is used. Family hotels lead the way, which makes sense with a water park close by and long, dry summers. If you are comparing Alcúdia Majorca family hotels, look at how far each is from the Hidropark and the coast, and whether the board basis suits children who eat at odd hours.

There is also steady interest in villas in Alcúdia, Majorca with a private pool, and in self catering. Villas to rent around Alcúdia appeal to larger groups and multi-generation families who prefer their own kitchen and pool to a shared resort. Self-catering apartments sit in between, giving you freedom to eat out in the old town one night and cook the next. Use the live listings on this page to filter by style rather than assuming any one type dominates.

When and how to book

The warmest, driest stretch runs from June to August, with July recording just 5mm of rain. August is one of the best months but it falls in the UK school holidays, so family rooms and villas with pools tend to be the first to go and prices rise across the board. April and November, both around 21°C, are quieter alternatives; May has more rainy days than you might expect, at about 12.

Most British travellers book Alcúdia as a package: flight into Palma de Mallorca, hotel and a transfer of around 41 minutes. Jet2holidays, TUI, loveholidays and On the Beach all feature on this page, alongside hotel prices, car hire and tours, so you can compare a package against booking your room and flights separately. If you plan to explore Pollentia or Puig de Sant Martí, car hire is worth pricing in too.
