Port d'Alcudia, on the other hand, is a bustling resort town with a wide sandy beach, perfect for families.
Drive to Cap de Formentor, the northernmost point of Mallorca, for some of the island’s most spectacular views. Stop at the Es Colomer viewpoint for a jaw-dropping panorama of the rugged coastline.
