This page was translated automatically from German. View the original

Alcúdia lies in the north-east of Mallorca on a peninsula between the Bay of Alcúdia and the Bay of Pollença. Most of the berths are at Alcudiamar in the Port d’Alcúdia district, with more at the smaller Marina de Bonaire. Here you can read how to get to the harbours in Alcúdia, where each harbour is, where to park and shop, what the sailing weather is like, which sailing destinations are nearby and what skippers need to know about berthing.

Where are the harbours in Alcúdia?

Sailing yachts can berth in two places in Alcúdia: at Alcudiamar on the Passeig Marítim of Port d’Alcúdia, directly west of the commercial harbour on the Bay of Alcúdia, and at the Marina de Bonaire, about three kilometres to the north on the Bay of Pollença. The peninsula of Alcúdia lies between the two, with the old town at its base.

The state-owned port of Alcúdia consists of two parts: the commercial harbour with the ferry terminal, and the basin for smaller boats with the fishing quay and Alcudiamar. The Marina de Bonaire is not part of it; it lies on the other side of the peninsula and is run by a separate operating company.

Arriving for the start of your sailing trip in Alcúdia

The nearest airport is Palma in the south of the island. From there you can take a bus, taxi or hire car to the north. If you are already in the Balearic Islands or in Barcelona, you can also take the ferry directly to the port of Alcúdia.

From Palma airport to Alcúdia

The airport buses of the TIB, Mallorca's intercity bus network, stop at the terminal on level 0 by the arrivals area. In summer the A32 line runs between the airport and Port d’Alcúdia; in winter the A33 line takes over this connection with its own timetable and a slightly different route. You will find timetables and stops at the TIB transport association.

A taxi or hire car will take you straight to the harbour. Give the driver the full name: “Alcudiamar, Port d’Alcúdia” or “Marina de Bonaire”. There are more than 50 taxis in Alcúdia itself, and you will find one at the tourist spots at any time of day.

By ferry

As things stand (November 2026), up to eight ferries a day run all year round from Alcúdia to Ciutadella on Menorca, and the crossing takes between one and two and a half hours. There are daily connections from Barcelona to Alcúdia; the fast ferry takes around three and a half hours, the conventional ferry five to six. The ferries berth at the commercial harbour, just east of Alcudiamar.

Telling Alcudiamar and Marina de Bonaire apart

The two harbours lie on different coasts of the peninsula, with the town in between. You can recognise Alcudiamar by the long Passeig Marítim with restaurants and shops right on the water. The Marina de Bonaire is quieter, in the Bonaire residential area, on the road towards the Ermita de la Victòria.

Parking

Alcudiamar has its own car park with 345 spaces within the harbour grounds. The fee is a maximum of €1.97 per vehicle per hour (as of November 2026). Parking is only permitted in the marked areas, and a 20 km/h speed limit applies on the site. There is also public parking on the Passeig Marítim, around 100 metres from the harbour basin, and on the Carrer dels Mariners, around 400 metres away.

At the Marina de Bonaire there is a car park on the Camí Vell de la Victòria, around 200 metres from the harbour.

Where is Alcudiamar?

Alcudiamar is located on the waterfront promenade of Port d’Alcúdia, at Passeig Marítim 1. To the south the marina borders the Bay of Alcúdia, and to the east the quays of the commercial harbour. Restaurants, shops and the beach of Alcúdia begin right at the harbour.

With 745 berths, Alcudiamar is one of the large marinas on Mallorca. The berths are spread across seven parallel pontoons, six of them 150 metres long. There is room for boats from 6 to 30 metres in length and with a draught of up to 4 metres. Alcudiamar is a concession within the state-owned port of Alcúdia, awarded in 1988.

Facilities at Alcudiamar

The pontoons have water and electricity at 220 and 380 volts, up to 125 amps depending on the berth. Free Wi-Fi, video surveillance and round-the-clock security are included. The fuel station is on the harbour grounds. The boatyard area of around 12,000 square metres has a 150-tonne travel lift and an 8-tonne mobile crane, and boats up to 6.80 metres in beam can be lifted.

Around the harbour there are 36 restaurants, bars, shops and specialist businesses, including chandlers, mechanics and yacht agencies. With the Marina Residence, Alcudiamar also has its own accommodation for sailors on the harbour grounds. You can also stay overnight ashore there.

Where is the Marina de Bonaire?

Marina de Bonaire lies on the north side of the Alcúdia peninsula, in the Bonaire district on the Bay of Pollença. The harbour is sheltered from east-northeasterly to north-northeasterly winds. It is surrounded by the residential areas of Bonaire and Mal Pas.

With 333 berths for boats up to 16 metres, Bonaire is much smaller than Alcudiamar. The harbour has five pontoons, three quays and a waiting quay for arriving boats. The marineros are available around the clock and help with berthing from a dinghy.

Facilities at Marina de Bonaire

Water and electricity are available at the berths. As well as showers and sanitary facilities, the marina has a bar with a restaurant. On the 5,400-square-metre boatyard, boats up to 16 metres long, 5 metres wide and 28 gross register tons are lifted out by travel lift. There is no fuel station. The nearest is in the harbour of the Reial Club Nàutic Port de Pollença, around 3.5 nautical miles away.

What is the weather like for sailing in Alcúdia?

From May to October, a regular sea breeze usually determines the sailing weather. In the bays in the north of Mallorca it blows from the northeast, roughly at right angles to the coast.

The sea breeze usually reaches force 2 to 5 and blows for six to 14 hours, longer on the coast than inland. In the bays of Alcúdia and Pollença it is an almost daily occurrence in the summer months.

The Spanish weather service AEMET normally issues a yellow warning for the coasts of the Balearic Islands from force 7 winds or waves three metres high. From 1 May to 30 September, the yellow warning applies as early as 40 kilometres per hour of wind or two-metre waves. A special feature of the Balearic Islands is the rissagues: sudden fluctuations in water level, for which AEMET issues warnings from 0.7 metres.

Where can you sail to from Alcúdia?

From Alcúdia, the Bay of Pollença, Cape Formentor, the east coast of Mallorca and Menorca are all within reach. The nautical miles are rounded distances over water on the usual course; for precise planning, rely on the nautical chart.

What can you do ashore in Alcúdia?

For a day in port, the old town with its town walls and the remains of the Roman town of Pollentia are well worth a visit. Both lie inland from Alcudiamar.

• Old town and town walls: The 14th-century wall encloses the old town with 26 defensive towers. You can walk around the town for free on the wall walk along the top of the wall. The Porta del Moll, the east gate, was once the way to the harbour.
• Roman town of Pollentia: The excavation is the most important Roman site in Mallorca. You can see a residential quarter, the forum and the theatre, which seated around 2,000 spectators and whose tiers are cut directly into the rock. Finds are displayed in the Museum of Pollentia in the old town.
• Platja d’Alcúdia: The sandy beach stretches for more than seven kilometres along the bay and slopes away very gently. It begins right on the Passeig Marítim next to Alcudiamar.
• Alcanada and Cala Poncet: These small bays have clear water and seagrass meadows. Off the coast, the lighthouse stands on the island of Alcanada.
• Hiking: Paths around the peninsula lead to the Ermita de la Victòria, to Es Coll Baix beach and to the north coast, and there is also the s’Albufera nature park.
