Mallorca Road Bike Tour – 8 Nights Around the Island
Description
The Mallorca road bike tour is a self-guided, 8-night loop around the island that combines flat coastal roads, quiet country lanes and some of the most famous climbs in the Serra de Tramuntana. All the hotels on the route are by the sea, so every day ends close to the beach.
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. Along the way you ride past windmills and almond trees, climb to sanctuaries such as Cura and Sant Salvador, reach the Formentor lighthouse and tackle the legendary Sa Calobra.
Most stages offer a long and a short option, from 40 to 130 km a day, so riders of different levels can travel together. The terrain is generally easy to intermediate, and spring and autumn are the best seasons to ride.
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 tour 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.
