SBU Mallorca May 2022 Brochure

Scottish Bridge Union

12th Overseas Spring Congress

Hotel Iberostar Albufera Playa MAJORCA 04 May 2022

A National Red/Green Point Event

This lovely hotel has direct access to a large beach of fine white sand which slopes gently into the clean, clear water of the Med. At the beach there is a jetty for water taxis and tours.

The hotel is just a 10 minute bus or taxi ride from the atmospheric old walled town of Alcudia, where you can explore the narrow lanes, eat or drink in the many interesting restaurants and bars or shop at the market. Across the road from the hotel you will find a large quiet nature reserve. It’s a special place; when we were there the warm air was full of swooping swallows.

The food at the hotel is excellent, especially the seafood. There is a great variety which is served from multiple stations so you can find all types of food; with much of it cooked in front of you. For days out you could visit the historic market towns of Pollensa or Muro; drive the winding road to Sa Collabra or visit the pearl factories and wineries that dot the island.
