Day 10: Port de Soller to Sant Elm

This 70km route with 1400m ascent skirts Mallorca’s west coast with its vineyards and turquoise coastline.

Day 11: 2 options

Our “classic” week-long cycling vacation in Mallorca is our most popular itinerary, and for good reason. We think that for a week’s cycling in Mallorca, there’s no better combination than this one.

It includes (or can include, depending on how much biking you want to do) all the island’s classic routes, including the monasteries of Cura and San Salvador, Cap Formentor lighthouse, Sa Calobra and the stunning southwest coast.

A mix of rolling terrain and iconic climbs, charming countryside and quiet medieval villages, breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Tramuntana mountains, comfortable and intimate hotels, and the chance to sample some of the island’s finest food and wine.

Day 1: Loop to Sineu

We’ll arrange a transfer to Sineu (35 minutes) where we’ll meet you to review the itinerary, have a briefing on safety and logistics, bike fitting and, hopefully, depending on your arrival time, you can do a quick 20-40 km loop around Petra, Vila Franca and Sant Joan with an optional climb to the Hermitage of Bonany.

Day 2: Two options

Today, you’ll have several options for riding to the southeast of Mallorca. The longer itinerary includes the climb to the monastery of San Salvador, one of the classic climbs on this part of the island, from where you have stunning views over the whole island and the east coast, and then the short, steep climb to the Bonany hermitage near Petra.

If you prefer a shorter hike, today there are several easier loops of 45 to 75 km through the charming villages of Montuiri, Porreres, Sant Joan and Petra.

Hiking distance: 45 to 85 km with 400 or 900 m ascent.

Day 3: Destination Selva

The route takes you south before heading north to your destination for the next two nights, Selva. The full route takes in rolling terrain and quiet country roads to Algaida, where you’ll start climbing towards the Cura monastery.

After a coffee break at the summit (recommended), you’ll descend into the Binissalem wine region to Puig de Santa Magdalena, where you can enjoy an epic Pamboli lunch. 88 km for the full itinerary, or if you want to skip either of the two climbs, you can choose between 54, 65 or 75 km, which is much easier.

Day 4: Cap Formentor lighthouse today

This is one of Mallorca’s most iconic cycling routes and is on the list of many cyclists from all over the world. With incredible views over the Mediterranean Sea, it’s a constant up and down, twists and turns leading to Majorca’s most northerly point. An early start is recommended to avoid most of the traffic jams.

After returning from the lighthouse, we suggest a detour to beautiful Cala Sant Vincent for a delicious seafood lunch by the sea. It’s a long drive of 98 km from the hotel and back, but we can offer shuttles to start the journey at Port Pollensa, which reduces the trip to 65 km.

Day 5: Port de Soller

This is an epic ride along the Tramuntana with a detour to the famous Sa Calobra, a must for all cyclists coming to Mallorca, and the main reason Mallorca is so famous in the cycling world, but it’s after the beautiful climb from Caimari to Coll de Sa Bataia, and before the great 14 km descent from the Monnaber tunnel to Port de Soller. 70 km with almost 2000 m of ascent, so we have shuttle options or you can even hop on the ferry at Sa Calobra that takes you right up to your hotel.

Day 6: Rest or hiking day

This is an ideal day for resting, or at least not getting in the saddle, so we can plan a good hike along the coast to charming Deia, perhaps plan a short 40 km ride to visit a vineyard for lunch and wine tasting, or plan a water activity like a day out boating or kayaking along the coast.

Day 7: Back to Palma

Today is the icing on the cake, and what we think is Mallorca’s best ride along the southwest coast through the beautiful coastal villages of Deia, Banyalbufar, Estellencs, and Andratx to Sant Elm for an excellent lunch at Es Moli, where we can pick you up and take you back to Palma for a final night in town, a great way to end the trip, and only a 15-minute drive from the airport. 70 and 50 km options.

This itinerary is very similar to our “classic” 7-day itinerary, but we change one of the middle sites to Port Pollensa, allowing you to spend two extra nights by the sea.

It still includes (or can include, depending on how much you want to do) all the island’s classic hikes, including the monasteries of Cura and San Salvador, Cap Formentor lighthouse, Sa Calobra and the stunning southwest coast.

A good mix of rolling terrain and emblematic climbs, charming countryside and quiet medieval villages, breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Tramuntana mountains, comfortable and intimate hotels, and the chance to sample some of the island’s best food and wine – it’s all worth it.

DAY 1 – Arrival

We’ll arrange a transfer to Sineu (35 minutes) where we’ll meet you to review the itinerary, have a briefing on safety and logistics, bike fitting and hopefully, depending on your arrival time, you’ll be able to do a quick 20-40 km loop around Petra, VilaFranca and Sant Joan with an optional climb to the Hermitage of Bonany.

DAY 2 – Monasteries

Today you’ll have several options for driving to the south-east of Majorca. The longest route includes the ascent to the monastery of San Salvador, one of the classic climbs on this part of the island, from where you’ll have a breathtaking view of the whole island and the east coast, followed by the short, steep climb to the Hermitage of Bonany, near Petra.

If you prefer a shorter hike, there are several easier loops of 45 to 75 km through the charming villages of Montuiri, Porreres, Sant Joan and Petra.
Routes: 45 to 85 km with 400 or 900 m ascent.

DAY 3 – To the sea

We’ll be transferring north from Sineu to your new hotel, La Goleta de Mar, and once again there are different options for route length and elevation gain. The long hike heads into the Binissalem wine region before climbing to Puig de Santa Magdalena near Inca, then through the agricultural area of Sa Pobla and on to Port Alcudia, where you’ll make a detour to Alcanada for lunch by the sea at La Terraza. Medium and short hikes can start directly from Sineu towards Llubi with the optional ascent of Puig de Santa Magdalena, or go directly to La Terraza for lunch by the sea.
Routes: 46 – 85 Km with 230 – 680m ascent.

DAY 4 – LightHouse of Formentor

One of Mallorca’s most iconic cycling routes and on the bucket list of many cyclists around the world. With incredible views over the Mediterranean Sea, it’s a constant up and down, twists and turns that leads to Mallorca’s northernmost point.
An early start is recommended to avoid most of the traffic jams. After returning from the lighthouse, we suggest you visit the charming old town of Pollença and have lunch there or in the beachside cove of Cala Sant Vicenç.
Route: 40 – 65 Km with +1000m ascent.

Day 5 – Sa Calobra

It’s an epic ride along the Tramuntana with a detour to the famous Sa Calobra, a must for all cyclists coming to Mallorca, and the main reason Mallorca is so famous in the cycling world, but it’s after the beautiful climb from Pollensa to Coll de Feminia, and before the great 14km descent from the Monnaber tunnel to Port de Soller.

85 km with almost 2000m of ascent, so we have shuttle options or you can even hop on the ferry at Sa Calobra that takes you right up to your hotel.

DAY 6 – Day in Port de Soller

It’s an ideal day for resting, or at least not getting in the saddle. So we can plan a good hike along the coast to charming Deia, perhaps plan a short 40 km ride to visit a vineyard for lunch and wine tasting, or plan a water activity like a day out boating or kayaking along the coast.

DAY 7 – South-West coast

Today is the icing on the cake, and what we think is Mallorca’s best ride along the southwest coast past the beautiful coastal villages of Deia, Banyalbufar, Estellencs, and Andratx to Sant Elm for an excellent lunch at Es Moli, where we could pick you up and take you back to Palma for a final night in town, a great way to end the trip, and just a 15-minute drive from the airport the next morning.
70 and 50 km options.
