Alcúdia's town district and its port moved in opposite directions over the past year, and by almost the same amount. In the July 2026 asking-price report Ciutat d'Alcúdia is down on a year earlier, while the district covering Port d'Alcúdia and Platja d'Alcúdia is up. Of the three districts priced here the town is the cheapest and Barcares, Manresa and Bonaire the dearest. A buyer working from one municipal average would see none of that.
Just over twenty-two thousand people live in the municipality, on the Censo Anual count at 1 January 2025. Rather more than a quarter hold a foreign nationality and rather more than a third were born outside Spain, both figures derived by subtraction because INE publishes neither total. Moroccan, Colombian and Italian nationals are the largest groups in the nationality count, with British and German counts smaller. That is who lives here, which is a different question from who buys.
Three things this guide cannot hand you. There is no climate table, because the principal-stations normals publication lists no station in the municipality, and the observing stations elsewhere on this part of Mallorca publish current conditions rather than normals. There is no train, because Alcúdia appears on none of the published stop lists, and sa Pobla, the T2 terminus, is a different municipality. And the reference hospital is in Inca.
The verdict
The upside is real. So is the downside. Both matter more than any brochure will admit.
All three districts carry a published price
Ciutat d'Alcúdia, Port d'Alcúdia and Platja d'Alcúdia, and Barcares, Manresa and Bonaire all appear in the July 2026 report with a figure and a year-ago comparison. Every district the report lists here carries one.
The town district is the cheapest of the three
Ciutat d'Alcúdia asks less per square metre than either other district, and it is the only one of the three down on a year earlier. The port asks close to a quarter more than it does, and the municipal average sits well above it too.
A health centre inside the municipality
IB-Salut lists CS de Alcúdia - Es Safra as the municipality's health centre and places Alcúdia in the Tramuntana health sector. Its basic-health-zone page names the Safra zone against this municipality. Retrieved 1 September 2026.
A ferry route that names the town directly
Trasmapi publishes a crossing between Alcúdia and Ciutadella, spelling the town without its accent. It is the one route in our sources that names a Mallorcan municipality on this list rather than the island.
More than a third of residents were born outside Spain
Derived by subtraction from the Censo Anual totals for 1 January 2025, 8,361 of the 22,459 residents were born abroad. Birthplace is the steadier measure, because naturalisation does not move it the way nationality does.
No climate normals for this municipality
The principal-stations normals publication for 1981 to 2010 lists four entries under Illes Balears and none of them is here, so we print no climate table and do not borrow the Palma ones.
No train, and sa Pobla is not Alcúdia
Alcúdia appears on none of the T1, T2 or T3 stop lists. The T2 terminus is sa Pobla, which is a separate municipality with its own station and service. There is neither here.
The reference hospital is in another municipality
IB-Salut names Hospital Comarcal de Inca as the Tramuntana sector's reference hospital, at Carretera Vieja de Llubi in Inca. What is published inside Alcúdia is a health centre. We publish no distances or travel times.
Two official counts disagree for the same date
The padron gives 21,907 residents at 1 January 2025 and the Censo Anual gives 22,459, a gap of 552 people. Mixing a population from one operation with a share from another produces a figure nobody published.
Every price here is an asking price
The index reflects advertised prices rather than what anyone paid or the rent actually paid. It says so itself. Treat the district figures as what sellers are asking, not as a record of transactions.
Editor's note
Alcúdia suits a buyer who wants the town district and the port priced apart and is willing to act on a divergence rather than an average. If you want the same split priced somewhere else, Pollença puts its port about a fifth above the district that shares the municipality's name, though a third district there carries no price at all. If a climate table matters, Palma is the municipality on our list with normals published under its name, and it is also the one the published train and metro lines serve, with the caveat that it is split across at least two health sectors and no single reference hospital can be named for it. If you would rather be somewhere with a smaller foreign-national share, Menorca is the lowest of the four islands we cover, a little over a seventh of residents against rather more than a quarter here. And nothing in this batch covers rents, running costs or housing stock, on any island.

Cheapest of the three priced districts, at about four fifths of the municipal figure per square metre, and the only one of the three that fell over the year to July 2026 while the municipality as a whole rose.
