Mallorca, with its beautiful beaches, historic churches, and breathtaking scenery, has been a popular destination for destination weddings for many years. However, for couples looking for a more intimate, low-key celebration, an elopement wedding might be the perfect fit. And there is no better place to exchange your vows than in the stunning Alcanada, in the north of the island. I’ve photographed many elopement ceremonies here through-out the years, and I truly love having more time for portraits than you get on a typical big wedding.

Elopement weddings are all about intimacy, simplicity, and a focus on the couple’s love story. They offer a more relaxed and authentic experience, without the traditional wedding bells and whistles. In Alcanada, you'll find all the ingredients you need for a romantic, stress-free elopement wedding: beautiful scenery, quiet beaches, and a peaceful ambiance.

What makes Alcanada such a great spot for elopement weddings? Here are just a few of the many reasons:

Tranquil Setting: Alcanada is a quiet, secluded spot surrounded by stunning natural beauty. With its shaded park, next to the La Terazza restaurant, the view of the light house and many spots to get stunning wedding portraits, Alcanada provides a peaceful and intimate setting for your elopement wedding.
Picturesque Beaches: The north of Mallorca boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in Mallorca, making it the perfect place for a young family or just if you enjoy sandy beaches with pristine water. Whether you choose to have a ceremony on the beach, or simply take advantage of the stunning views for your photos, Alcanada’s surroundings has it all.
Romantic Ambiance: Alcanada is the ideal place for a romantic getaway. Whether you want to relax with a bottle of wine on the beach or enjoy a candlelit dinner, Alcanada has everything you need for a romantic, unforgettable elopement wedding.
Stress-Free Experience: With its serene setting and relaxed vibe, Alcanada provides a stress-free environment for your elopement wedding. You won't have to worry about coordinating guests, dealing with vendors, or managing a large wedding party – all you need to do is focus on each other.
Affordable: Elopement weddings are often more affordable than traditional weddings, as they tend to be smaller in scale and require fewer resources. In Alcanada, you'll find that the cost of an elopement wedding is often significantly lower than the cost of a large, traditional wedding, making it a great option for couples on a budget.
If you’re Swedish, you can legally get married though Svenska kyrkan with one of their priests. If you’d prefer a non religious ceremony, you could get married in the townhall or even at Arlanda airport and then have your beautiful ceremony in Mallorca, with a wedding celebrant and a photographer.
Likewise if you can’t get legally married in Mallorca for various reasons, you could do the same, get married in the townhall of where you live and have your romantic ceremony in Mallorca.

So, if you're looking for an intimate, stress-free, and romantic wedding experience, an elopement wedding in Mallorca is the perfect choice. And if you're looking for the ideal location, Alcanada, in the north of the island, is the place to be. With its tranquil setting, and romantic ambiance, Alcanada provides the perfect backdrop for your elopement wedding.
