Adults-only hotels in Alcudia - Our 8 favourite child-free stays on the bay

No splash park, no kids’ disco at 8pm, no inflatable flamingo taking over the pool. Just a sun lounger, a good book and the sound of the sea.

Alcudia, on Majorca’s northern coast in the Balearic Islands of Spain, is famous for family holidays, which is exactly why a child-free hotel here feels like such a treat. The bay has miles of golden sand and calm, shallow, turquoise waters, the old town has cobbled streets inside medieval walls, and the marina is full of seafood restaurants. Pick one of the best adults only hotels Alcudia has to offer and you get all of that without the poolside chaos.

In this guide we’ve picked eight of the best hotels in Alcudia for adults, from a ten-room boutique hotel in the historic old town to beachfront resorts with spas and Bali beds. For each one we tell you where it is, who it suits and what makes it special. You’ll also find tips on choosing the right part of town and answers to the questions couples ask most. For sightseeing ideas, see our guide to Alcudia.

Where to stay in Alcudia for a child-free getaway

Alcudia is really three places in one. Port d’Alcudia, around the marina, is the liveliest part, with restaurants, bars and boat trips on your doorstep. The long beach that runs south from the port, often called Playa de Alcudia, is where you’ll find most of the big hotels in Alcudia, many of them just across the road from the sand. Further south, the same bay continues into Playa de Muro. Alcudia town itself, the old town, sits about 2 km inland, with its medieval walls, Tuesday and Sunday market and the Roman remains of Pollentia next door.

If you want peace above all, look at the two quieter corners of the Alcudia peninsula. Alcanada, near the lighthouse and the golf course, has small coves and views across the bay. Mal Pas and the area around Sant Pere beach face the bay of Pollença instead, with calm water and a more residential feel. Both are a short bus or taxi ride from the port.

The whole area is flat and great for cycling, so it’s an easy place to explore without a car, and the S’Albufera wetlands are close by for birdwatching. Palma de Mallorca airport is around 60 km away, so allow about an hour for the transfer. If you’re planning to explore the rest of the island, our Mallorca guide has plenty of ideas.

VIVA Golf Adults Only 18+

VIVA Golf Adults Only 18+ sits right on the beach at the northern end of the bay, about 500 metres from the harbour of Port d’Alcudia. It’s strictly for guests aged 18 and over, and the heated pool has a swim-up bar and an outdoor jacuzzi nearby. The Balneum spa and an outdoor sauna garden are included in your stay, with massages available at an extra charge. The 117 rooms are spread across two buildings and feel more like small apartments, with a lounge area, while the Royal Terrace rooms give you a much bigger outdoor space. As the name suggests, golfers are well looked after, with the Alcanada course about ten minutes away by car.

Bordoy Alcudia Bay - Adults Only

Bordoy Alcudia Bay - Adults Only, formerly AluaSoul Alcudia Bay, is a modern hotel for guests aged 16 and over, about a six-minute walk from Alcudia beach. It has two outdoor pools with Bali beds and a pool bar, plus a gym and a spa offering massages. Superior rooms are on the upper floors, overlook the pool and come with their own reserved section of the main pool, and some can be booked for sole use by solo travellers. Every room has a Nespresso machine, and you can choose half board or all inclusive. It’s a good pick if you want an all-inclusive adults-only hotel in Alcudia with a relaxed, contemporary feel.

Hotel Astoria Playa Adults Only

About 150 metres from the beach, Hotel Astoria Playa Adults Only is a four-star superior hotel set in 4,000 square metres of gardens. Only guests aged 18 and over can stay, so the two outdoor pools, one with a chill-out zone, stay calm all day. There are also three outdoor hot tubs, a sun terrace and a show-cooking restaurant. All 175 rooms have air conditioning and private balconies. Bicycle rental is available on site, which is handy for flat rides along the bay.

THB Bamboo Alcudia - Adults Only

THB Bamboo Alcudia - Adults Only is a four-star hotel about 100 metres from the white sand of Alcudia beach, with views over Lake Esperanza on the other side. It has two outdoor saltwater swimming pools with a sun terrace and a pool bar. Food is a strong point, with a buffet restaurant with show cooking, a food truck and the Cake&Shake café. If you want more space, book a suite, which has a separate bedroom, a living room and a terrace. The hotel also calls itself CO2-neutral and works with local suppliers, which is a nice bonus if sustainability matters to you.

Eix Alcudia Hotel Adults Only

Eix Alcudia Hotel Adults Only stands in the centre of Port d’Alcudia, about five minutes’ walk from both the beach and the marina. The U-shaped building is built in a traditional Majorcan country style, with two outdoor pools and a furnished sun terrace in the middle. There’s a small spa with a sauna, steam bath and whirlpool, plus a gym. Most of the 210 rooms have balconies, and the junior suites have larger terraces overlooking the pool. It’s the best location on this list if you want to enjoy the port’s dining scene and local bars every evening.

Inmood Aucanada - Adults Only

Inmood Aucanada - Adults Only is a four-star superior hotel for guests aged 16 and over, in a quiet residential area near the Alcanada lighthouse and golf course. The small cove of Cala Ponset is right across the road, reached by steps, and a free shuttle bus runs to Port d’Alcudia, about 2 km away. Three pools cascade down the garden like a waterfall, with a separate relax pool and stunning views of the bay, and the sea view rooms all have balconies. The spa facilities include a hydrotherapy pool, sauna and steam room. Sports facilities include a watersports centre and a cycling centre, and there are yoga and fitness classes too.

Prinsotel Mal Pas - Adults Only

Prinsotel Mal Pas - Adults Only is strictly for guests aged 18 and over and sits about 200 metres from Sant Pere beach, on the Pollença bay side of the peninsula. Alcudia old town is about 2 km away, so it feels peaceful without being remote. There are two pools, including a large lagoon-style pool surrounded by sun loungers and Bali beds. The Kitchen Market restaurant serves buffet breakfast and dinner, and there’s a poolside snack bar and a cocktail bar. Rooms range from a twin room to junior suites, all with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and a balcony or terrace.

Bordoy Mostatxins - Hotel Boutique Adults Only

Bordoy Mostatxins - Hotel Boutique Adults Only is the most romantic choice in Alcudia old town. This small boutique hotel has just ten rooms in two restored buildings from the 15th and 19th centuries, with high ceilings and wooden beams. There’s a heated outdoor swimming pool that’s open all year, a little spa with a hot tub and treatments with local products, and a sun terrace. Some rooms have a private terrace overlooking the spa area, and breakfast is made with local produce. Guests must be 18 or over, and the sandy beach of Port d’Alcudia is a short drive away, so it’s ideal if you’d rather visit historic Alcudia than lie on the sand all day.

Tips for booking an adults-only hotel in Alcudia

Check the minimum age before you book, because adults-only hotels in Alcudia set it at either 16 or 18. If you want a completely grown-up atmosphere, choose an 18+ hotel such as VIVA Golf, Hotel Astoria Playa, Prinsotel Mal Pas or Bordoy Mostatxins. Think about location too: the port is best for restaurants and evenings out, the beach hotels for long days on the sand, and the old town for character and quiet nights.

July and August are the busiest months, so book early if you want a sea view or a suite. May, June and September are ideal for cycling enthusiasts, walkers and golfers, and the sea is warm enough for swimming. Spa facilities vary a lot, from a full spa at VIVA Golf and Inmood Aucanada to massages on request at THB Bamboo, so compare the features that matter most to you, such as a quiet location, a sea view or all-inclusive board. If you want space and five-star service, compare these hotels with our list of luxury hotels in Mallorca, and if you’re travelling with children next time, try our family hotels in Mallorca instead.
