La playa de Alcudia de Mallorca ha sido votada como una de las mejores playas de Europa

La playa de Port d’Alcúdia de Mallorca ha sido votada como la segunda playa más bonita de Europa según una encuesta realizada por TripAdvisor. La superó por muy pocos votos la playa de Ölüdeniz, en Turquía. Situada en el norte de la isla, la playa de Alcúdia se extiende más de 14 kilómetros hasta Can Picafort y es la playa más extensa de Mallorca.

En la década de 1920 los primeros turistas empezaron a visitar Alcúdia y a principios de la década de los 70 se hizo evidente que el turismo sería el futuro de Alcúdia. 15 años después, el antiguo puerto de Alcúdia se había convertido en un recurso importante para el turismo europeo. En los años 90 el boom de la construcción se calmó y se pusieron en marcha una serie de reglamentos para prevenir una construcción masiva. Actualmente la atención se centra en los visitantes que buscan relax y actividades culturales. También se ha construido un campo de golf y hay la posibilidad de practicar muchos deportes, como el ciclismo y el senderismo. El casco antiguo se ha conservado muy bien y ahora, con calles peatonales, se ha convertido en uno de los pueblos más visitados de Mallorca.

La playa es curvilínea y cuenta con arena fina y blanca y palmeras. No es muy honda por lo que es ideal para familias con niños pequeños y también es recomendable para practicar snorkeling, buceo y esquí acuático. El Paseo Marítimo está repleto de bares tradicionales que venden de todo, desde bebidas y helados hasta comidas, tales como pizzas, pastas y paellas. Algunos de los yates más lujosos de la isla se puede ver amarrados en el puerto. A diferencia de otros puertos deportivos, el puerto de Alcudia no se encuentra entre dos playas, evitando así que los barcos se acerquen a los nadadores, por lo que sus aguas son muy claras y seguras para nadar. En Alcudia también se celebra el campeonato anual de Ironman, que acoge participantes procedentes de todo el mundo.
La vida nocturna es más de tipo familiar que en otras partes de las Baleares y hay muy buen ambiente en la zona de bares y discotecas.

En resumen, Alcúdia es un hermoso municipio muy solicitado y es muy recomendable para quienes están pensando hacer una inversión inmobiliaria.

Alcudia beach in Mallorca voted one of the best in Europe

The beach at Port d’Alcudia in Mallorca has been voted the second most beautiful beach in Europe by travellers of TripAdvisor. It was just pipped to the post as European hotspot by Oludeniz beach in Turkey. Located in the north of the island, La Playa d’Alcúdia stretches more than 14km all the way to Can Picafort, making it the longest beach in Mallorca.

In the 1920s the first tourists began to visit Alcúdia and by the early 70′s it became clear that the future of Alcúdia would be in tourism. 15 years later the old harbour of Puerto de Alcúdia had developed into a major resort for European tourism. In the 90′s the construction boom calmed down and several regulations were put in place. Now the focus is on visitors searching for both relaxation and activity. A golf course has been constructed and there are numerous biking and hiking opportunities. The Old Town has been preserved and pedestrianized and it has now become one of the most visited villages in Mallorca.

The beach itself is curved with fine, white sand with numerous palm trees. The water is fairly shallow making it ideal for families with small children and it is also wonderful for snorkeling, diving and waterskiing. The main promenade (Paseo Maritimo) is  packed with traditional ‘Balneario’ bars that sell everything from drinks & ice-creams to hearty meals such as pizzas, pastas and paellas, and some of the island’s most luxurious yachts can be seen in the Port. Unlike some ports this marina is not sandwiched between beaches so usually boats will not come close to swimmers, which leaves the waters very clear and safe for swimming. There is also an annual Ironman competition which takes place in Alcudia  with participants coming from all over the world to complete.
The nightlife is more family orientated then in some of the other Balearic resorts. The bars and clubs are lively but rarely rowdy.

All in all, Alcúdia is a beautiful sought-after resort and well worth a visit for those considering investing in property.

Guía de Lucas Fox… del norte de Mallorca

Mucha gente cree que la costa norte de Mallorca es la zona más hermosa y virgen de todas las islas Baleares. Las plantaciones de olivos, los huertos de cítricos, los pinos frondosos de color verde, las rocas calizas grises y las flores de almendro han sido inmortalizados por numerosos artistas y fotógrafos a lo largo de los años. La región, llena de contrastes, goza de un litoral magnífico, montañas espectaculares, calas solitarias y pueblos hermosos. La espectacular Sierra de Tramontana forma un telón de fondo envidiable en la que los pueblos son testigos de un pasado histórico.
La península del Formentor, que se adentra en el Mediterráneo desde el extremo norte de la isla, refleja la costa más salvaje de la isla. Hacia el interior, a pocos kilómetros de Formentor se halla la elegante ciudad de Pollensa (Pollença, en catalán), que cuenta con un precioso centro histórico y muchas cafeterías y tiendas de moda. En dirección al oeste, a través de una carretera serpenteante de montaña se llega a la preciosa y antigua localidad de Sóller, que tiene un puerto de lujo y está lleno de callejuelas encantadoras. Este municipio es también una de las paradas principales que hacen los excursionistas en sus rutas de senderismo de la costa norte. Con 14 kilómetros de playas, Alcudia es el principal destino turístico del norte de Mallorca, y es también muy popular para las familias que visitan la isla. Las pintorescas calles antiguas y la vibrante plaza principal del casco antiguo de Alcudia también merecen una visita.

La geografía no es lo único que convierte a esta zona del norte de Mallorca en un lugar tan especial. La atracción proviene de los festivales de música, los mercados bulliciosos, la posibilidad de practicar actividades deportivas como la vela y el senderismo, la amplia oferta de tiendas y la cosmopolita mezcla de gente. Además, esta zona se encuentra a tan solo 35 minutos del aeropuerto y cuenta con buenas infraestructuras de carreteras, de transporte público, una gran cantidad de servicios, varios puertos deportivos e instalaciones deportivas para la práctica de la equitación, el tenis y los deportes náuticos como el kite surf, el submarinismo y la natación. La zona del norte de Mallorca es también un paraíso para los amantes el golf ya que cuenta con siete campos de golf situados a poca distancia en coche.

Lucas Fox guide to…North Mallorca

For many the area of North Mallorca is the most beautiful and untouched area of all the Balearic islands. The aged olive groves, citrus orchards, green pine trees, grey limestone rock and almond blossoms have been captured by numerous artists and photographers over the years. Full of contrasts, the region boasts a dramatic coastline, mountains, secluded coves and pretty towns. The magnificent Tramuntana mountain range sets an enviable backdrop against the towns and villages steeped in history.
The wild shoreline is probably best typified by the Formentor Peninsula, which juts out into the Mediterranean from the northern tip of the island. Just inland from the Formentor is the chic town of Pollensa, with its historic centre and fashionable cafes and shops.  Heading west along the winding mountain road you’ll come to the attractive old town of Soller with its upmarket port and charming narrow streets. The town is also one of the key stops along the North Coast’s scenic hiking routes. With 14km of beaches, Alcudia is the main tourist resort of North Mallorca and is particular popular with families. The picturesque old streets and bustling main square of Alcudia old town is also worth a visit.

It is not just the geography that makes this area of Mallorca so special. The attraction comes from its many music festivals, bustling markets, sailing, shopping, hiking and cosmopolitan mix of people.
Just approximately 35 minutes from the airport, the area is served by a sound infrastructure of good roads, public transport, many amenities,  several marinas and sporting facilities from horse riding, nautical sports, kite surfing, diving, tennis, hiking and swimming. The area of North Mallorca is also renowned as a golfers paradise with seven courses within easy driving distance. Golf Pollensa is a nine hole course integrated into the beautiful local environment with panoramic views over the Tramuntana mountains.  Golf Alcanada is the only 18 hole course that is right by the sea. It has 58 well placed green side fairway bunkers with challenging greens and tee shots.

Beaches of North Mallorca
The beaches within the area are among Mallorca’s most beautiful.They range from the exclusive, secluded beaches of Formentor, with its nature reserve, to the charming coves of Cala San Vicente. The most popular beach (and resort) in the northern part of Mallorca is Alcudia, ideal for families with small children. An alternative to Alcudia is Port de Pollensa. which is less touristy – the sheltered horseshoe shaped bay is set against the stunning backdrop of the Tramuntana mountain range. It retains an unspoilt charm and a somewhat understated character. Further to the west, Port de Soller is a beautiful  bay surrounded by mountains.

Lucas Fox’s guide to…Palma (Mallorca)


Palma (formerly known as Palma de Mallorca) is the island’s only true city and is the capital of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. It has a population of approximately 400 thousand and is the 12th largest urban area of Spain. Almost half the population of Mallorca live in Palma. Its airport, Son Sant Joan, serves over 22 million passengers each year and it is where the Spanish Royal Family tend to spend their summer holidays.

Palma is a city of modern hotel chains and upmarket shops, yet still retains much of its original architecture in the Old Town – a maze of streets and picturesque squares hinting towards an Arab past. With the exception of a few streets and squares which allow traffic, the streets in the Old Town are narrow and quiet and boast a diverse range of buildings. The majority of buildings are private houses, some of which are open to the public as discreet museums or galleries. La Seu, its restored cathedral is the city’s most prominent attraction. Although construction began in 1229, it was not finished until 1601 and architect Antoni Gaudí was drafted in during a restoration project in 1901. The Parc de la Mar lies just south of the cathedral. The Old Town is also home to the Town Hall and Arab Baths, one of the few remnants of Palma’s Moorish past. The city’s beach Playa de Palma, is ten minutes from the city centre.

Football is the most important sport on the island, with the majority of fans supporting Real Mallorca. The city also holds a number of watersports and cycling tournaments.

In recent years Palma has increasingly attracted a cosmopolitan crowd, many of whom are choosing to buy in the city instead of other areas of the island. Some have even labeled Palma the ‘new Barcelona’, albeit a smaller version.  Indeed the city is undergoing a similar transformation -  new stylish hotels, fashionable shops, restaurants and bars are appearing and the opening of the Es Baluard Art Museum has helped assert the city as a cultural capital.

For buyers interested in purchasing property in Palma Old Town, the area offers many good investment opportunities, as prices have fallen since the boom years. Crime is low and it is safe and clean.
“ You can find some truly spectacular Renaissance houses of historical interest with inner courtyards and patios which have been stylishly converted into luxury apartments or single residences, many of which have sea views” says Rafael Calparsoro of the Lucas Fox Mallorca Office “The Old Town is quiet, cut off from traffic and you are within walking distance to the beaches, yacht club and harbour as well as some great restaurants and bars”

Here are some of our favourite Palma properties in the Old Town:

Beautiful 16th century palace with patios and large reception rooms. 3000m2 of built surface and 200m2 garden

Historic building with licence to develop ten luxury apartments with parking and terraces. Great central Old Town location

4-bedroom, 4-bathroom manor house in the heart of the Cathedral district. High quality renovation. Large roof terrace with stunning views of the Old Town and the sea.

Magnificent penthouse apartment with spectacular views, lovingly restored just a few years ago. Combining original features with stunning modern touches
