It was the Phoenicians and Greeks who first settled there, closely followed in the 2nd century BC by the Romans, who made Alcudia the capital of the island. Visitors to the old town today enter the narrow streets through one of the two gates that were constructed, along with the impressive city walls, after the conquest of the island by King Jaime I of Spain. The resort itself is spread either side of the busy northern coast road, and really lacks a centre or central point. The warm waters of Alcudia Bay make this resort very popular with families with young children, and the beach is without doubt a major attraction with fine, clean sand with a wide variety of water sport and other amenities available to suit all tastes. Be aware that Alcudia is not a noisy resort. It is offering evening entertainment which is hotel based, however, the resort does have a small number of late night bars and nightclubs which is just everything you need when you decide to visit such a good quality mainstream beach resort, which is especially suitable for families.
