Mallorca Cycling Paradise – 8 Nights Around the Island
Description
This Mallorca cycling holiday is a self-guided, 8-night loop around the island with shorter, relaxed stages, designed for riders who want to enjoy the coast, the villages and the views at their own pace. All the hotels on the route are by the sea.
The tour starts and finishes in Can Pastilla, next to Palma, and links Colònia de Sant Jordi, Porto Cristo, Cala Ratjada, Port de Pollença and Port de Sóller. You ride past Es Trenc beach and the salt flats of Ses Salines, along the coves and cliffs of the east coast, around the bay of Alcúdia and out to the Formentor lighthouse, before crossing the Serra de Tramuntana via Lluc and Valldemossa.
Stages range from 29 to 76 km a day, and the terrain is generally easy to intermediate. This Mallorca cycling holiday follows the same route and hotels as our Mallorca Road Bike Tour, but with shorter rides, so riders of different levels can travel together and choose the distance that suits them.
The price includes 8 nights in 3 and 4-star hotels and country inns with breakfast, all luggage transfers, transfers on arrival and departure days, and the routes and tour information in the Ride with GPS app. You can bring your own bike or rent a road, gravel, trekking or electric bike for the tour.
The Mallorca cycling holiday runs from 27 February to 29 October 2027. The standard arrival day is Saturday, but you can start on any day of the week for a supplement, which is not charged for groups of four or more. Extra nights can also be added along the route.
Itinerary
Arrival in Palma de Mallorca and transfer to the beachfront hotel in Can Pastilla. Enjoy the long beach or ride the seafront cycle path into Palma.
