Buying in Alcudia: what overseas buyers should know
Alcudia sits on Mallorca's northern coast and attracts buyers who want a historic walled town paired with a long sandy bay. It combines an old quarter of medieval streets with a busy port and resort area, so it suits families, holiday-home owners and those looking for a place that works both in and out of season. Property ranges from stone town houses within the walls to apartments and villas around the port and along the bay.
What buyers are looking for in Alcudia
The old town holds traditional stone homes and courtyard properties, while Port d'Alcudia offers apartments and villas closer to the marina and beach. Further along the bay and up towards the headland you find larger villas and sea-view homes, and the surrounding countryside adds finca-style properties with land. Demand is steady because the area draws both holiday buyers and those settling for longer, and well-placed homes near the water tend to hold their appeal.
Buying as an overseas buyer
UK buyers can own property in Spain freely. As a visitor you can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area, with non-lucrative and digital nomad visas for longer stays (the Golden Visa route closed in 2025). You will obtain an NIE and instruct a lawyer, and completion takes place before a notary. Allow for the main costs on top of the price: a transfer tax on resale homes or VAT on new-build, plus the annual local property tax (IBI). Spanish banks do lend to non-residents, usually with a larger deposit. A local partner agent can walk you through it.

Where to find property for sale in Alcudia
Within Mallorca, Alcudia falls into a few clear areas. The walled old town is the place for stone town houses and properties with real history, while Port d'Alcudia, down by the marina and beach, brings apartments and villas closer to the water. The bay and the Bonaire and La Victoria headland add larger sea-view villas, and the countryside inland holds finca-style homes with land.
Buyers looking at this part of the north often also consider neighbouring Pollenca, which shares the same bay and airport access. Deciding between old town, port and coast is the key choice, as each has its own pace and property mix. Explore our collections to shortlist by the way you want to live.
