Description

Es Barcarés is a peaceful coastal village and nature reserve close to Alcudia in the north of Mallorca.

Beach & Water

The beach at Es Barcarés is quiet and rarely crowded — stand-up paddleboarding and watching the sunset are popular ways to spend the time here. Families will find it a relaxed setting for water activities. If you're planning a swim, it's worth knowing that jellyfish and seaweed can be present in the water.

Nature Reserve

Es Barcarés falls within an area subject to protected-season restrictions. While you can visit the reserve independently, local authorities recommend against doing so alone. Guided tours that bring the local birdlife to life aren't easy to come by.

The Village

The small village of Es Barcarés sits right next to Alcudia and is characterised by homes with sea views. The atmosphere is calm and wonderfully unhurried.
