Mallorca road bike tour

Your Bike Spain Tours guides will meet you in Palma de Mallorca and transfer you to a beautiful family-owned vineyard in the heart of the island, where you’ll enjoy a tasting of Mallorca’s elegant local wines — increasingly celebrated on the international stage. The estate is nestled among rolling countryside and vineyard-covered hills, offering a serene and breathtaking introduction to the island.

In the afternoon, you’ll have the chance to experience the surrounding landscapes up close on a leisurely warm-up ride. We’ll cycle through quiet rural lanes bordered by almond groves, fig trees, and traditional stone fincas. The ride is gentle, with peaceful roads and stunning views — the perfect way to ease into the week and get acquainted with your bike.

After your ride, a private transfer will take you to Hotel Hoposa Uyal, located on the elegant seafront promenade of Port de Pollença. This stylish coastal retreat offers the ideal setting to unwind: take a stroll along the beach, dip your feet in the Mediterranean, or relax with a drink as the sun sets over the bay.

We’ll begin our ride by exploring the Bay of Alcúdia, a stunning coastal area where the route traces the shoreline and offers shifting views of turquoise waters, golden beaches, and serene Mediterranean landscapes.

From the coast, we’ll turn inland toward the historic town of Petra, a peaceful village in the rural Pla de Mallorca region. Far from the busier tourist areas, Petra offers a genuine glimpse into traditional Mallorcan life, with its rustic stone houses, quiet squares, and unhurried pace.

Our journey continues through a series of lovely inland towns — Sineu, Inca, Selva, and Moscari — each with its own character and cultural heritage. As we pedal through these timeless villages, you’ll experience the essence of Mallorca’s interior: fertile farmlands, vineyards, centuries-old churches, lively weekly markets, and small cafés where locals gather to chat over coffee. It’s a chance to connect with the island’s cultural heart and discover the Mallorca that residents hold dear.

Our route takes us into the dramatic heart of the Serra de Tramuntana, where soaring limestone peaks, deep valleys, and winding mountain roads create an unforgettable playground for cyclists.

We’ll tackle one of the world’s most iconic cycling routes: Sa Calobra. Sculpted into the mountainside like a ribbon of grey tarmac, this extraordinary road coils and twists through a rocky, moon-like landscape before dropping down towards the shimmering turquoise waters below. The engineering is nothing short of remarkable — a masterpiece of switchbacks and sheer cliffside riding that attracts cyclists from around the globe.

From the top, experience the thrill of an exhilarating 10 km descent down to the bay of Sa Calobra, with over ten spectacular 180º hairpin bends and its famous 360º spiral — the Nus de Sa Corbata (“the Necktie Knot”) — where the road loops under itself in a breathtaking feat of design. At the bottom, the reward awaits: a moment to rest and take in the crystal-clear waters of this dramatic cove, surrounded by towering cliffs.

At the end of this unforgettable day, we will transfer to Sóller, where you’ll unwind at the elegant Gran Hotel Sóller, a luxurious 5-star retreat. Relax in refined surroundings, take a dip in the pool, or toast the day’s achievements with a well-deserved drink as the sun sets over the Tramuntana.

Our ride takes us one of the island’s most enchanting coastal routes, cycling toward the charming village of Deià. Nestled in the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana between Valldemossa and Sóller, Deià has long captivated writers, artists, and musicians with its serene beauty. Stone houses framed by terraced olive groves, sweeping sea views, and an atmosphere of pure tranquillity make this village feel nothing short of magical.

From Deià, we’ll continue our scenic ride to the elegant town of Valldemossa, our final cycling stop of the day. Surrounded by lush mountain landscapes, Valldemossa is steeped in history and charm — a place of narrow cobbled streets, flower-filled balconies, and the famous Royal Carthusian Monastery that once inspired Frédéric Chopin. It’s an ideal setting to pause, wander, and soak in the timeless Mallorcan ambiance before returning to the coast.

From here, we can choose between two beautiful routes to reach Palma: the inland route, winding through quiet rural landscapes and charming Mallorcan villages, or the coastal route, offering spectacular sea views as we ride towards the elegant port town of Port d’Andratx. After finishing our final ride, we’ll travel to Palma de Mallorca in our private van.

In Palma de Mallorca, you’ll check in to one of the city’s most luxurious hotels, featuring refined rooms and a stunning seafront pool — the perfect place to relax and refresh after an unforgettable week of cycling. The afternoon is free to explore the island’s vibrant capital.

Palma offers an exceptional blend of culture, history, and Mediterranean charm. Elegant boulevards, boutiques, and narrow medieval streets sit alongside fishing boats, pine-lined parks, and palm-shaded squares, creating a truly captivating ambiance.

This evening, you can indulge in Palma’s culinary scene, with its excellent restaurants serving both modern Mediterranean cuisine and beloved local dishes such as sobrasada, arròs brut, and tumbet.
