Things to Do in Alcudia Mallorca: Walls, Pollentia, Beaches

If you only have a day, start inside the old town. The City walls of Alcúdia are a protected cultural property, and walking their line gives you the shape of the place before you head into the lanes. Within the same compact area you will find the Alcudia bullring, a distinctive round building that is worth seeing even if you never go inside.

The real draw for anyone curious about the past is Pollentia, the archaeological site on the edge of town. Pair it with the Museu monogràfic de Pol·lèntia, the museum devoted to the site, so the finds and the ground make sense together. For those weighing up what to do in Alcúdia beyond the beach, this pairing is the clearest answer.

In the town itself, everything sits at the centre: the walls, the bullring, Pollentia and its museum are all close enough to link in one unhurried walk. It is the part of the visit that suits cooler months best, and the climate record shows April, with highs around 21°C, and November, around the same, as comfortable times for it.

Head out of town and the landscape opens up. Puig de Sant Martí, a protected area about 2 miles away, makes a good short outing for walkers. Sa Farradura, roughly 2.5 miles out, is the beach on our list, and the obvious start when people ask about the best beaches near Alcudia, Majorca. Hidropark, under a mile away, is the main stop for water-based fun.

For places to visit near Alcudia, Majorca, further afield, Alcúdia's ferry port is barely a mile from town, and the island capital's port at Palma is around 33 miles away by road.

Hidropark is the family favourite here: a water park less than a mile from town, which makes it easy to fit around naps and mealtimes. In July and August, when daytime highs sit at 31°C to 32°C, a day there is often the most comfortable option for younger children.

Sa Farradura beach works for a simple seaside day, and the walls of the old town tend to catch children's imaginations more than most monuments do. Older children with an interest in history will get more from Pollentia if you visit the museum first, so the ruins have a story attached.

Most British travellers come on a package that bundles the flight into Palma de Mallorca, the hotel and the transfer, which takes about 41 minutes by road. You can compare package deals from Jet2holidays, TUI, loveholidays and On the Beach on this page. School holidays push demand up, so booking early for August is sensible; April and November are quieter and still among the best months to visit.
