Santa Margalida (Catalan pronunciation: [səntə məɾɣəˈli.ðə]) is a municipality with a population of 10,204 located in the northeast of the Spanish Balearic Island Majorca.

The residents are divided over three settlement areas, the principal one being Santa Margalida, 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) inland from the coast.

The other areas are primarily Tourist resorts, Can Picafort and Son Serra de Marina on the coast at the bay of Alcúdia.

In the east, the Torrent de na Borges- the longest stream in Mallorca- forms the border to Artà in the Llevant region.

Testament to the wealth is the large parish church of Santa Margalida, this was built in 1232 and renovated in the 17th or 18th century.

Between the Port d'Alcudia in the north of the bay and Can Picafort, there is a five-kilometre (3.1 mi) long sandy beach lined with hotels.

The protected Albufera swamp borders about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) of the bay and prevents the two tourist resorts from joining.

The 8 square kilometres (3.1 sq mi) wilderness is a good alternative to the tourist resorts and can be explored by renting bikes.

With the exception of just a handful of days along the season, the wind caused by the sun heating the earth's surface in the interior of the Island is a stable ten to fifteen knots onshore push that delivers small waves and just the right amount of freshness.

This tourist resort 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south of Can Picafort extends for about 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) along the Bay of Alcúdia.

East of the town lies the 1,800-metre (5,900 ft) long beach of Sa Canova, which belongs to the Artà municipality and almost extends to Colonia de Sant Pere's neighbourhood of S'Estanyol.
