Palma Airport To Alcudia
Transportation Options From
The town of Alcudia is one of the most popular destinations on the Balearic Island of Majorca, offering tourists plenty with historic sites and plenty to see, eat and do. Many people who visit will do so by flying in and out of Palma de Mallorca Airport, which is also often simply referred to as Palma Airport or by its International Air Transport Association code of PMI.
However, Alcudia is a fair distance from Palma Airport – about 60 kilometers (or roughly 37 miles), and so you’ll need some type of transportation to get between the two locations.
Thankfully there are several viable options available for this journey that provide choices for all travelers regardless of their budgets or the number of people in their group. The three main transportation methods available are using a rental car, taking or taxi, or riding the bus.
All three options have their own particular pros and cons, so learn about the specifics of the choices based on cost, time taken and other factors in order to make an informed decision.
Renting a car from Palma Airport to Alcudia
This will be perhaps the speediest option for getting between the airport and downtown, because the journey should only take about 45 minutes. If you are driving during busy times like rush hour then it make take longer, but the ride could be shorter at quieter times of the day.
One of the major benefits of renting car compared to the other methods of transportation is that you will have total independence during your time in and around Alcudia. You will be able to drive anywhere on your own schedule, and you’ll have the security of placing your luggage in the trunk of the car. Also, you won’t have to share the vehicle with any strangers.
However, driving can be stressful for some people and you might not feel like being behind the wheel of a vehicle when you’re on vacation. And remember also that this can be quite a costly option when you add up the rental fare, insurance and paying for gas to refill the vehicle.
Taking a taxi from Palma Airport to Alcudia
There are taxis available at Palma Airport that can take you directly to Alcudia, and this is also a fairly fast way to get between the two locations. The ride will likely take between 45 minutes and a full hour depending on how long you have to wait for a taxi once you land at the airport, and other factors including whether there’s a lot of traffic on the way to downtown.
This will however be a cheaper option than renting your own car, because you will only have to pay for the far from the airport to Alcudia. As a general guide you can expect a standard fare to cost between €70 and €80 but it could be higher or lower depending on your final destination.
Traveling by taxi also offers more privacy than public transportation, because it will only be the driver and you and your family or friends that are in the taxi. In addition, you’ll have peace of mind that your luggage will be safely secured in the trunk of the vehicle. And another benefit is that the taxi will pick you up at the airport and take you to the door of your next stop.

Riding a bus from Palma Airport to Alcudia
Taking a public bus Alcudia is definitely the slowest of the transportation options available at Palma Airport, because the journey will usually take at least 1 hour and 20 minutes. That’s because of all the time it takes for the many passengers to get on and off the bus.
Even though this method of transportation is the slowest of the three choices, it’s also by far the cheapest with an average fare of €5 to get from the airport to downtown Alcudia. That can make taking the bus the ideal choice for any travelers who are trying to get around on a budget.
One downside of traveling by bus is that you will not have any privacy, because you will be riding alongside many other passengers. This can also mean that space for luggage on the bus can be very limited, so this transportation method might not be a great choice in the event that you and your group are traveling with a large number of suitcases, bags or other luggage.
