Dreaming of sparkling aquamarine waters and pristine sand? Alcudia's beaches will be a match made in heaven for you. This resort town in the northern pocket of Majorca is a gateway to some of the island’s most striking stretches of coast.

The tranquil beaches are part of the resort's appeal. Thinking of holidaying here and want to know the best places to go? Get clued up with our Alcudia beach guide.

Playa de Alcudia

You’ll find Playa de Alcudia less than 10 minutes away from the resort centre. This Blue Flag beauty offers seven kilometres of fine golden sand, meaning there’s plenty of towel space. Simply sunbathe, swim in the clean waters or make the most of the facilities on offer. Beach cafés line the boardwalk, water sports are aplenty and there’s a play area just for kids.

Playa Coll Baix

While this unspoilt spot may be hard to reach, it’s totally worth the journey – Playa Coll Baix is one of Alcudia's finest beaches. Pass through pine trees to reach this hidden gem, enveloped by rugged wooded mountains. On the shore, you’ll find a vast stretch of sand and shingle, lapped by shimming turquoise waters.

Alcanada Beach

Escape the crowds at this pebbly part of the coast – it’s only around the bay from Port d’Alcudia yet is a relatively quiet and untouched spot, despite being renowned for its dazzling waters. Come here to snorkel in the crystal-clear sea and see local marine life up close. Back on land, lie back and admire the views of the bright white lighthouse guarding the shoreline.

Playa de Muro

Azure waters and white sands await at Playa de Muro. This gorgeous Blue Flag beach is only a short distance from Playa de Alcudia. Stretching for nearly six kilometres along the island’s coastline, it’s divided into four sections, with a range of different facilities in each. But one thing remains the same – beautiful coastal scenery.

Sant Joan

North-east of Alcudia is Sant Joan, a quiet sickle-shaped cove of white sand. The sea is mesmerisingly clear here, perfect for swimming and snorkelling. It you’re after utter peace and quiet, this is the place to find it. And it takes less than ten minutes to reach by car. What are you waiting for?
