Hip Apartments in Alcudia You'll Want to Call Home
The medieval walled town of Alcudia, in Mallorca, the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands, offers atmospheric ruins, authentic weekly markets and endless sands. The shining wetlands are an antidote to busy beaches, and far-off mountains finish the scenic backdrop. Here’s our list of great apartments where you can live like a local.
Apartamentos Ferrer Tamarindos
Hotel, Apartment
Perfect for a break by the beach, these studios and penthouses are a hop from the 10km (6mi) curved stretch of white sand at Port d’Alcudia, with palm trees and sparkling sea. The renovated rooms have colourful details, each with a fully equipped kitchen and balcony with views of the leafy Mallorcan hills. Relax on the rooftop terrace or by the outdoor swimming pool before hitting the beach.
Mar Salada Apartments
Chain Hotel, Apartment
The sands of Playa de Muro are home to these seafront apartments overlooking the bay. Gold-coloured furniture is highlighted with blue accents, and there are charming features such as wooden ladders propped against the wall and woven lampshades casting a glow above your bed. Each apartment has a kitchenette and balcony, and there’s a pretty shared garden. The beach is great for chilling out or trying watersports; the bars are a 20-minute walk away, and it’s just 8km (5mi) to the mountains.
YourHouse Port
Apartment
With its white frontage and vibrant blue shutters, the exterior of YourHouse Port is the epitome of a Spanish beach home. The inside comprises minimalist rooms with monochrome decor and potted plants for a splash of natural colour. It comes with a kitchenette and terrace, and the location is perfect – right by the beach and not far from the walled town and coastal wetlands.
Villa Marilen Petit

Live the group holiday of your dreams at this secluded villa, with three bedrooms – one with bunk beds – two bathrooms, a huge kitchen and plenty of room for indoor or outdoor dining.

Puerto de Pollensa Apartment
Apartment
This apartment is just 100m (110yd) from the beach and close to the marina, so you can enjoy an evening stroll by the horseshoe bay of Puerto de Pollensa. Relax in the funky furniture-scattered lounge area, then head up to your terrace for a dip in the hot tub, overlooking the Mediterranean and the Tramuntana mountains. There’s even a barbecue up here, so you can dine in style every night.
Villa Can Toni Prim

Enjoy an authentic break in peaceful Santa Margalida, where you can sip Spanish coffee at a pavement cafe before driving to the nearby archaeological site of the Necropolis de Son Real, or the Playa de Son Baulo, where the beach is backed by forest. In the green-shuttered villa, you’ll find rooms decorated with peace in mind. The outdoor pool and dining area offer the perfect spot to catch the evening sun as it dips behind the olive groves.
