Top hotels in Alcúdia for remote work
In our guide to taking a workation in Alcúdia you will read why this peaceful but culture-rich coastal town in Mallorca is a captivating destination for working remotely. We have visited Alcúdia at different times for business and leisure trips, and it’s one of our favourite places to combine the two.
From the elegant charm of old town boutique hotels to relaxing resorts around the beach, you’ll find somewhere to stay in Alcúdia that suits your style and provides a working environment that you’ll love. So, let’s dive into our recommendations.
1. Alcudia Garden Aparthotel: serviced apartments in a resort
I stayed for two nights at Alcudia Garden Aparthotel, a pristine modern resort less than 100 metres from the beachfront of Port d’Alcúdia. As with every guest, my stay began with a complimentary glass of bubbly!
This setting is magnificent if you like to work remotely with quick access to the beach. You could begin your days with a jog along the sandy seafront promenade as the sun rises across the water, or take a sunrise dolphin-watching cruise and be back in time for your morning meetings.
Stylistically, the hotel fuses an all-inclusive resort feel with serviced apartments. It has an impressive range of features and facilities, including heated pools both indoors and outdoors, a gym, sauna, jacuzzi, restaurant and bars.
I stayed in a ground-floor one-bedroom apartment with a private garden, where I could take a break in the sunshine or move outside with my laptop for a change of working scenery. The upstairs apartments in the resort have balcony areas where you could do the same.
Inside, like other apartments in the complex, mine had its own kitchenette for self-catering, as well as a dining table that repurposed conveniently as a work desk (with a coffee machine conveniently at hand). This was all part of an open-plan space, also featuring a comfy sofa and TV for breaks and downtime.
The bedrooms are spacious with two single beds pushed together. These apartments are ideal if you are a couple looking to take a workation together and want your own space for self-catering, while also enjoying the convenience and comforts of a resort.
While there isn’t a specific dedicated work space in the hotel, there are plenty of options for getting some work done if you want a change of scenery from your apartment. You can plug in at one of the quite corners of the main restaurant and café, which is open throughout the day, or work on one of the sunloungers by the pool outside.
If you would prefer a dedicated work desk, you can take a stroll along the beach to CoCowork Alcúdia Beach, a coworking space where you can hire desks by the day.
Breakfast and dinner and served all-inclusive buffet style in the main restaurant at Alcudia Garden Aparthotel, and there is a varied spread.
On one of my nights at Alcudia Garden Aparthotel I ventured out and had a delicious three-course dinner at Malgache, a restaurant just around the corner that serves African fusion cuisine and also has a brilliantly original cocktail menu. An excellent choice if you want to treat yourself to a special meal during your stay.
Overall, Alcudia Garden Aparthotel is an ideal base for a remote working trip by the beach combining a self-catered apartment setup with the luxurious amenities of a resort.

While visiting Alcúdia old town I was treated to a guide tour of one of its most beautiful boutique hotels, Forum Boutique Hotel & Spa.
This adults-only hotel is right in the heart of the old town in its old financial hub, hence “The Forum”. While this is a convenient central location, it also has the feel of a tranquil escape, beginning with the fresh, calming scents the moment you walk into the foyer.
The iconic old building has been thoroughly renovated, and while the hotel is full of modern comforts, it still maintains the historic charm of Alcúdia old town. It has bright and roomy feel throughout. The design creates a counterpoint between white and sandstone brick walls, juxtaposing the old and the new.
With just 16 rooms, this is an intimate hotel with a lot of attention to detail. The bedrooms are just stunning. Whether you opt for a simple double room or a deluxe double with a balcony and hot tub, each room is beautifully presented, radiating with the warm glow of subtle lighting, and completed with luxurious accessories.
Importantly, if you’re on a remote working trip, every room has a desk. I particularly liked the superior rooms, where the desk is neatly segregated from the bed.
Perched on the upper floors of the hotel is a secluded sun terrace, where you can relax with views across the rooftops. This also overlooks the hotel’s private pool.
And when you need a break, you can book a treatment at the spa and wellness centre, which has top-notch facilities including a jacuzzi, solarium and steam room.
Forum Boutique Hotel & Spa is a brilliant choice for your remote working trip if you want to be closely connected to the old town, but still within the comfort of your own private escape.

At the very centre of Alcúdia old town is Plaça Constitució, a quaint, slender plaza flanked by cosy cafés with seats and tables spilling outdoors. Whenever the sun is shining you will see people happily dining al fresco around the courtyard.
When Lisa and I first visited Alcúdia back in 2021, which was our first trip outside the UK after the Covid-19 pandemic, we sat outside with a bottle of Mallorcan red and some local meats and cheeses at Fonda Llabrés, a restaurant at the far side of this plaza. It’s a lovely introduction to the old town and a spot where you can watch people come and go at the heart of it.
Fonda Llabrés is also a boutique hotel, and on my latest visit to Alcúdia the owner welcomed me for a tour of the facilities. First, we had a coffee downstairs, and on his recommendation I tried a coca de patata, a traditional Mallorcan bun made with potatoes and a house speciality.
Fonda Llabrés was actually one of the very first hotels to open in Alcúdia in the 1950s, nearly two decades before the old town was officially designated as a Historic-Artistic Conservation Site. So, the hotel is intertwined the town’s history.
If you stay at Fonda Llabrés Boutique, you have exclusive access to the hotel’s most stunning feature: a panoramic rooftop terrace overlooking the entire old town and surrounding scenery. From this glorious unobstructed viewpoint you can see across the bays either side of the town, and at night you can witness the landscape illuminated in light as you sip a glass of wine. In the daytime, you have a bird’s-eye view of the plaza and the romantic narrows streets around it.
On the floor just below the rooftop, there is a smaller, secluded terrace with some tables and chairs overlooking a side street. If you want a change of scenery to check through your emails after lunch perhaps, this is lovely spot to flip your laptop out and enjoy a coffee.
The rooms at Fonda Llabrés are bright and elegant, having been thoughtfully modernised. Each room has a desk, and some feature views over the old town. The rooms in the upper floors have mountain or sea views, while the two suites at the top level have private terraces with a Balinese bed. You could sit outside and work here shaded from the sunlight in absolute luxury.
Breakfast is served on an exclusive mezzanine floor for guests overlooking the restaurant. And on days when you want to close your laptop and do some exploring, when you leave the hotel you walk right into the middle of the charming old town.
On evenings when you want to venture out for a special meal, you will find one of Mallorca’s most unique restaurants just a few paces across the courtyard. Restaurante Satyricón is set inside a historic theatre that has been magnificently repurposed into a dining experience. Whether you decide to come for dinner or just some coffee and cake in the afternoon, don’t miss the chance to visit this beautiful eatery.
In summary, Fonda Llabrés Boutique is one of Alcúdia’s most charming and historic hotels, with the unrivalled feature of its panoramic rooftop terrace. It is supremely located overlooking the old town square and is well equipped for your next remote work getaway.
