For birdwatchers, strategically placed hides offer great spots to observe rare avian species in their natural habitat. Additionally, the visitor’s centre provides enlightening displays and exhibits for a deeper understanding of the region’s ecological and historical significance

The Historical Significance of S’Albufera Wetlands

The S’Albufera Natural Park includes the lakes at the hotel, forming an intricate system of drained land and canalized water. This area has a rich tapestry of history woven into its landscapes. Named after the Arabic word for ‘lagoon’, these wetlands have been influenced by civilizations, from ancient Romans to modern Spaniards

Centuries ago, emperors in Rome feasted on ‘night herons’ from these very wetlands. By the 19th century, a British company attempted to drain the wetlands, leaving behind a network of canals that can still be witnessed today. The 20th century saw the region embrace rice cultivation, and manufacturing using native sedge and reeds flourished.

However, with the looming threat of tourism affecting this delicate ecosystem, 1985 marked the year when S’Albufera was christened a protected nature reserve.

A Haven for Birdwatchers

The proximity of Club MAC to the S’Albufera Natural Park makes it a coveted destination for ornithologists worldwide. Rare avian wonders such as Montagu’s harriers, long-eared owls, stonechats, moustached warblers, and more find their home here. With ospreys diving for their catch and peregrines making the wetlands their year-round abode, birdwatchers are in for a real treat.

Embark on a journey of the Alcudia city walls, tracing their history from the medieval era to their present-day allure.

A Medieval Design Masterpiece  

The town of Alcudia has ancient Roman origins. However, the Alcudia city walls date back to the medieval era. King Jaume II of Aragon ordered their construction in 1298.

The walls were designed to protect an important population center. They had both strategic and defensive significance during a tumultuous era. King Jaume II envisioned a grand defensive structure. It included towers, gates, and bastions, reflecting military strength and artistic finesse.

Construction of the 6-metre-high limestone fortifications took a long time and was completed in 1362 during the reign of Peter III. The walls stretched for nearly 1.5 km, dotted with 26 towers, enveloping the entire city.

The Walls as a Sanctuary

 As the medieval era passed, the walls served as more than just a defensive structure; they shaped the landscape, trade, and culture of the town. During the next century, the walls would frequently serve as a sanctuary. People sought refuge within the city walls during the German Peasant Revolt and the Lutheran Revolt, both of which occurred during the 1500s. The Majorcan nobility also sought sanctuary here.

The Holy Roman Emperor Charles V suppressed the rebellion for some time and went on to declare Alcudia the ‘Faithful City’ in 1523. After his abdication, his son Philip II built a second belt of walls around Alcudia. This Renaissance-style star-shaped fortifications with low bastions were later demolished in order to expand the town.

Preservation and Present-day Significance

In 1974, the Alcudia City Walls and the remains of the Roman city of Pollentia (the precursor to the Alcudian settlement) were declared an Artistic Historical Site. Alcudia is today one of the best-preserved walled towns of Majorca. The polygonal city walls remain remarkably intact, offering visitors a glimpse into the checkered past. Although a few of the walls collapsed in the 19^th century, the remaining structures have since been declared cultural heritage and are diligently preserved.

As you stroll along the majestic ramparts, the stunning views of the surrounding landscapes, including the Tramuntana Mountains and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea, leave a memorable impression.

Exploring the Alcudia City Walls

While visiting the Alcudia city walls, immerse yourself in the historical ambience and discover the stories held within. Walk along the fortified walls, allowing your imagination to transport you to a time of medieval splendour. Enjoy the charming narrow streets that wind their way through the town, leading you to picturesque squares, quaint cafes, and boutique shops. Take a guided tour to explore in detail the architectural features and historical events associated with the walls. Capture photographs from the vantage points along the ramparts, preserving your memories of this unique experience.

It is possible to walk around the walls in an hour if you take the Cami de Ronda route or trace the gardened walk outside. You can also walk along the parapet, from where you can admire panoramic views of the La Victoria Peninsula and the Bay de Pollença.

The Alcudia city walls narrate a tale of medieval strength, architectural brilliance, and cultural importance. They invite you to explore Majorca’s captivating history. A visit to Club MAC in Alcudia lets you see these ancient fortifications up close. Wander through the narrow streets within the walls. Join a guided tour or capture memories from the ramparts. The Alcudia city walls offer experiences for history buffs, culture enthusiasts, and curious travelers alike.

When at Club MAC, take a day trip to Alcudia’s historic Old Town

In the 16th century, pirates overran the Mediterranean, frequently raiding coastal villages. Inhabitants moved inland for protection and defense. Fishermen kept boats and small houses near the coast, but lived safely within the sturdy walls of old Alcudia.

During the tourism boom in the sixties, hotels and resorts were built along the coast. Since then, Port d’Alcúdia has become a popular tourist area. The historic Old Town of Alcudia, with its medieval walls and quaint plazas, retains quiet charm. Be sure to explore it during your next holiday at Club MAC.

Our recommendations of things to do in Alcudia’s Old Town

Visit the Roman ruins

Alcudia’s Roman heritage lives on in the captivating remains of Pollèntia on the fringes of the town. Founded in 123 BCE, the island’s prime Roman settlement was also the beginning of all urban life in Majorca. The three main areas open to the public are the Roman Theatre, the Forum or city square, and the residential La Portella neighbourhood. Round off your visit to this archaeological site with a visit to the Museu Monogràfic de Pollèntia where the exhibition of objects excavated from the ruins offers a glimpse into the culture and knowledge of the past.

Walk the old city walls

King Jaume II built a defensive system of city walls around the town in the 14th century as a precaution against external attacks. The reinforced square structure has an average height of 6m and a perimeter of 1.5 km with 26 towers distributed along the way. There is also a moat that has survived the passage of time. Along with the ruins of Pollèntia, the walls were declared an official Artistic Historical Site in 1974.

The walk is easy once you’re at the top and takes no more than an hour. It offers fantastic views of the old town and the Bay of Pollensa. There is no entrance fee. We suggest starting at the Porta del Moll o de Xara, the gate connecting Alcudia to the harbour, and then taking the Cami de Ronda passageway.

Shop at the weekly markets

Local markets are a weekly fixture in the villages of Majorca. In Alcudia’s historic Old Town, the market area is by the Porta del Moll o de Xara tower and is open on Tuesdays and Sundays. This is a great way to enjoy the local culture and support the local farmers and craftsmen. During the tourist season, the market spills out into the neighbouring streets and spreads out along the walls. You can browse, bargain, and buy anything from locally produced fruit and vegetables to leather articles and souvenirs.

Right behind is the main street of Old Town Alcudia, known as the Carrer Major, which is passed by the main square and is dotted with plenty of other interesting shops.

Visit the Church of Sant Jaume

A walk through the winding medieval streets will bring you to the beautiful Church of Sant Jaume. King James II built the original structure in the 14th century. The church collapsed in 1870, and the existing neo-gothic structure was built soon thereafter..  The church consists of a single nave covered by ribbed vaults with circular keystones and vegetal motifs. Natural lighting filters in through thirteen picture windows and a big rose window. The austere front of the impressive building ends in a pointed arch with the image of Saint James.

Stop by for some delightful tapas

Although Club MAC Majorca spoils you for choice with all-you-can-eat buffet breakfasts and buffet-style themed dinners, Alcudia is a great place for dining out as well. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants spread across the old town, which offer a wide selection of local and international cuisines. There are places here offering fine dining experiences, restaurants with sea views, tapas bars, bistros, and even BBQ joints. We recommend the Mallorcan tapas pa amb oli at Can Polit Tapas, Galician beef at Pipper’s, and paella at S´alhambra.

Discover the Fascinating History of Alcudia, Mallorca

Alcudia, one of the most beautiful areas in Mallorca, has been inhabited since the Bronze Age. The Romans made their mark in 123 BC, establishing Pollentia as the island’s second major town. After Rome fell, Vandals and pirates invaded, leading to the abandonment of Pollentia. In the 10th century, the Moors named the area Alcudia (“on the hill”).

In the 13th century, King James I of Aragon reconquered Mallorca, and the town was founded. Throughout history, pirate attacks led to population drops, but the 1779 harbor construction revived Alcudia’s economy. Tourism began in the 1920s, and by the 1980s, Port d’Alcudia became a bustling resort. Today, Alcudia blends ancient history with vibrant modern attractions.

Explore the Old Town and Roman Pollentia

Visitors can walk along Alcudia’s Old Town, admire the 14th-century walls, and explore the remains of Roman Pollentia. Enjoy the local market on Tuesdays and Sundays, offering fresh produce and crafts. In Port d’Alcudia, enjoy seafood and local dishes at waterfront restaurants. To experience the natural beauty, visit the nearby S’Albufera Natural Park.

Whether you want to sunbathe by one of our many pools, take part in the on-site activities, visit the waterpark for free or head down to the beach, the choice is yours. Here’s everything you need to know about Alcudia beach.

Beach holidays in Mallorca don’t get better than Playa d’Alcudia

The first thing that you will notice about Play d’Alcudia is the beautiful, white sand. Some people liken it to Caribbean beaches, thanks to its fine, soft sand and warm, shallow waters.

Alcudia beach is a blue flag stretch of coastline stretching from Port d’Alcudia. It’s lined with hotels and resorts, and there are plenty of facilities all around. The area has been welcoming visitors and holidaymakers for decades, and the main reason for Port d’Alcudia’s popularity is the gorgeous beach.

It’s the biggest beach in the Balearics with 7km of sand. Facilities on offer include beach bars, restaurants, lots of different watersports, public toilets, showers, sunbeds, parasols, WiFi connection and car parks.

Safe, shallow waters mean Alcudia beach is ideal for the kids

Playa d’Alcudia can be split roughly into two sections. The first goes from Port d’Alcudia to Ciudad Blanca and includes most of the facilities. If you head further into the bay towards Playa de Muro, it becomes quieter and more peaceful.

During high season, the beach does get busy, and this is when lifeguards are on duty. They are not there for the entire holiday season (May to October), so it’s always wise to be safe and get your kids to wear armbands and take floats.

Families in particular love Alcudia beach thanks to its safe, relatively shallow waters. The turquoise water is lovely to paddle in. Swimming is also possible although you will have to walk out until you reach deeper water.

Watersports and activities at Alcudia beach

The sand stretches for 7km and is around 80m deep. This means plenty of space for everyone, even during the busiest months. There are wooden walkways towards the back of the beach to make it easy to access for pushchairs and wheelchairs.

And when you’ve had your fill of sunbathing on golden sand, you can take part in different water sports. A variety of boat trips start from the beach, ranging from diving. expeditions to short cruises. To find out about boat trips, diving and other excursions, visit Guest Services or Reception and we can help you book beach-based fun.

Other activities include beach sports, banana boats, canoeing, scuba diving, fishing, inflatables, pedalos, paddle-boarding, excursions and other water sports. These are all bookable at the beach itself, and not through Club MAC.

How to get to the beach from Club MAC

To get to the beach from Club MAC, you can take an easy 15-minute walk. Or you can hop on our complementary shuttle bus that runs between the resort and the beach. The bus is free and runs from 10am to 5pm leaving from the main gate at Club MAC. The timetable is available on the Club MAC app, the Resort section of our website and pinned up outside the gates.

Playa d’Alcudia is always popular with Club MAC guests. To find out what people think of the beach, take a look at TripAdvisor, where you will see plenty of excellent reviews.

Activities at the beach

If you feel more energetic than a cruise, and don’t fancy full-on diving, then there are loads of fun things to do at the beach. Companies rent out pedalos, banana boats and ringos among other activities. There are also a few different diving centres nearby for those taking their water activity a bit more seriously.

Here are just some of the courses, activities and fun things to do at Alcudia beach:

We love our corner of Mallorca, and regular visitors to Club MAC Alcudia will be familiar with the fabulous environment. From the sandy beaches to the interesting canals surrounding Club MAC, there is plenty to see and do. But how much do you know about the history of Alcudia itself? Here’s a very brief rundown of the best part of Mallorca – at least we think so!

Tourists love Alcudia

Alcudia is one of the most visited parts of the island and is the main tourist centre in the north of Mallorca. We are on the east coast of Mallorca and are happy to be part of a large community of hotels, resorts and guest houses that welcome millions of visitors every year.

Most of the hotels are resorts are in Port d’Alcudia, and along the beach which stretches 14km along the coast to Can Picafort. The Old Town is well preserved and has dwellings that go back to the 13^th century. Surrounded by a medieval wall, the old town of Alcudia is well worth a visit when you’re staying at Club MAC.

History of Alcudia

The region that we now call Alcudia has had people living here since the Bronze Age. When the Romans arrived, the city started to appear in history books. They used the beaches at Playa d’Acludia to capture Mallorca in 123BC. A bit later they founded the capital town of Palma and the city of Pollentia. You can see the remains of the city today.

After the fall of Rome, the Vandals attacked Pollentia several times, eventually forcing its abandonment. The few remaining inhabitants built a new town called Pollença, leaving the original city in ruins. When the Moors invaded Mallorca in the 8th century, they built a farmstead near Pollentia’s ancient ruins. They named it Alcúdia, meaning ‘on the hill’ in Arabic.

Founding the town

In 1229, the King of Aragon, James 1, defeated the Moors and took over Mallorca. Several decades later in 1298, King James II bought the farm called Alcudia and turned it into the town. A church, a square and some houses were built the same year, as were the walls which were finally finished in 1362. The original town plans are the same as the old town you can see today.

In the 16th century, pirates attacked Alcúdia, causing such a decline in population that abandonment seemed inevitable. In 1779, officials decided to support and revitalize the town, leading to the construction of the harbor.

Alcudia in the 20^th century

The first tourists started to visit Alcudia and Mallorca in the 1920s, although this didn’t do much to prop up the weakening economy. By the 1970s, people recognized that Alcúdia’s future depended on tourism. By the late 1980s, the old harbor at Puerto de Alcúdia had become a major destination for European tourists.

Throughout the 90s construction continued, before measures were put in place to preserve the natural integrity of the region. It’s now all about relaxation and peaceful holidays, and the old town remains preserved and intact. Alcudia is now one of the most visited areas in Mallorca.
