The nearest supermarket is about 200 metres away in Carrer de Estrella de Mar, opposite Carabela but we don’t really recommend it. There are various mini markets nearby but for value and service we prefer the old-fashioned Spar shop nearer the port, opposite the taxi rank.

Celiactravel.com shows a very small number of suitable restaurants. We believe that Pierro Rossi on the marina, Moma opposite the taxi rank, C’an Costa in Alcudia old town (San Vicens 14), and Pizzeria Giardino by Alcudia Gardens Hotel all provide gluten free meals.
