Explore Alcudia Bay and discover why it is the perfect setting for a boat tour in Mallorca. Nature, calm waters, hidden coves and unique experiences from the sea.

A maritime paradise in Mallorca

There are places that feel as if they were made to be explored from the sea, and Alcudia Bay is one of them. Located in the north of Mallorca, this wide bay combines calm, crystal-clear waters, a diverse coastline and a natural setting that invites you to sail at a relaxed pace. Unlike other more exposed areas of the island, Alcudia Bay offers ideal sailing conditions for most of the year. This makes it one of the best destinations in Mallorca for boat tours, boat excursions and relaxed boat trips, both for first-time sailors and for those looking for a more complete experience. From long sandy beaches such as Playa de Alcudia and Playa de Muro, to rocky stretches, hidden coves and vibrant seabeds, the bay offers a level of diversity that is hard to match. All of this with the Serra de Tramuntana as a dramatic backdrop. Sailing here is not just about moving from one place to another: it is about observing, feeling and connecting with the Mediterranean. That is why every boat tour in Alcudia Bay becomes a unique experience, shaped by the rhythm of the sea and the traveller. If you would like to experience it yourself, you can explore all available options here: Boat tours in Alcudia Bay.
