| Description: | Alcudia is a resort located on the north east coast, situated in a bay called Port d’Alcudia. The coastline within the bay is built up with many hotels and apartment blocks, forming a resort popular with the British. There are 7 miles of beaches in the resort - the longest stretch on the island. Alcudia also has an historic walled old town with Roman remains. Like the rest of Majorca, property in the area is relatively expensive but you do get a good rent for the peak periods. Majorca is here to stay so acquiring a property here, in the long term, is of relatively low risk. You can easily get flights to this area so it will always appeal to the package holidaymaker. The season is longer than most but not all year round. There are many villas for sale and a lot can be had for your money. The re-sale market is quite developed and there are bargains popping up every now and again. I would suggest buying at least half a mile inland or more from the coast as you get better value for money compared to the sea front properties. | |||||||||||||||||||||
