Club de Golf Alcanada is one of Mallorca’s premier golf courses — a world-class, seaside masterpiece located in the north of the island near Alcúdia. Opened in 2003 and designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., it blends technical excellence with stunning Mediterranean scenery, earning consistent recognition among Europe’s top golf destinations.
The course stretches across gently rolling coastal terrain, surrounded by pine and olive trees, and runs right down towards the sea, with spectacular views of Alcúdia Bay and the small island of Alcanada crowned by its famous lighthouse. Its 18 holes, par 72, span over 6,500 metres of pure design harmony. Each hole flows naturally through the landscape, using elevation changes, native vegetation and sea views to create a blend of challenge and beauty that is both strategic and inspiring.
Jones’s signature design philosophy — “hard par, easy bogey” — shines here. Fairways are generous, but positioning is key: bunkers, undulating greens and subtle doglegs reward the thoughtful golfer. The back nine, in particular, offers breathtaking moments, with the 13th and 14th playing directly toward the coastline. The greens are fast, true and framed by spectacular backdrops — few courses in the Mediterranean capture light and atmosphere quite like Alcanada.
Facilities match the course quality. The clubhouse sits on elevated ground, offering panoramic views across the sea and the island’s lighthouse. Inside, traditional Mallorcan stone architecture meets modern comfort — with a fine-dining restaurant, terrace, locker rooms and an excellent pro shop. The service is impeccable, and the club maintains a quiet, exclusive atmosphere without being overly formal.
Alcanada also hosts major tournaments, including European Challenge Tour events, due to its world-class conditioning, fair but demanding layout and professional infrastructure. Its blend of scenery, precision and prestige make it the gold standard of golf in Mallorca — a must-play for any visiting golfer.
