The hill acts as a natural geological divide between the town of Alcúdia and the coastal tourist districts.
The summit hosts an array of telecommunication infrastructure, including radio and cellular transmission masts.
The slopes contain remnants of historical dry-stone terracing, reflecting past agricultural land use.
Due to its elevation and location, the peak provides a clear line of sight to the Cap de Formentor peninsula.
Puig de Sant Martí is a prominent hill rising to an elevation of approximately 250 meters, situated on the outskirts of Alcúdia on the island of Mallorca. The summit provides a panoramic vantage point overlooking the Bay of Alcúdia, the Bay of Pollença, and the surrounding S'Albufera wetlands. The terrain is characterized by Mediterranean scrubland and limestone outcrops typical of the Serra de Tramuntana foothills. A network of hiking trails and dirt tracks allows access to the top, which serves as a navigational landmark for the northern part of the island. Several communication towers and technical installations occupy the peak, restricting access to the immediate summit area. It remains a popular location for local trail runners and cyclists seeking incline training near the coast.
The eastern ridge path offers the clearest unobstructed view down toward the coastline and the bay.
