Why book with us
Mallorca is where the cycling world goes to ride. Every spring the island fills with pro teams and club riders chasing the same thing you’re after: smooth tarmac, empty roads, and climbs that have earned their place on every rider’s bucket list.
We base ourselves in Port de Pollença, a laid-back beach town tucked into the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana — the perfect launch pad for the island’s most legendary routes, from the cliff-top run out to Cap de Formentor to the switchbacked descent of Sa Calobra.
The week is built to make you fitter without breaking you. Big days in the mountains are balanced with easier spins through the flat, orchard-lined interior, so you can go deep on the climbs and still come back for more the next morning. Every day offers multiple group options, so whether you’re here to test your limits or soak up the scenery, you ride at the pace that’s right for you.
And then there’s everything off the bike. Long lunches, roadside espresso, and the quiet villages, hidden monasteries, and world-famous pastries you’ll roll past along the way. This is the Mediterranean at its best — hard riding, good food, and a week you’ll be talking about long after your tan lines fade.
Trip Highlights
- Five glorious days of guided, supported rides through the stunning Traumanta foothills, inland villages, and dramatic coastal route
- Base yourself in Port de Pollença — sandy beaches, easy seaside dinners, and the mountains rising right out your front door.
- Ride the legendary Sa Calobra: 26 hairpins dropping to the sea, then the long climb back out. A must-ride for cyclists worldwide.
- Roll out to Cap de Formentor, the lighthouse perched on towering cliffs with panoramic Mediterranean views in every direction.
- Balance hard mountain days with relaxed café rides through inland villages, historic monasteries, and a hidden velodrome.

Itinerary
Day 1 - Welcome to Mallorca - Arrival and Bike Check
We’ll shuttle you to our home base in Kortrijk, get everyone settled, and start assembling bikes.
No riding today — just logistics, introductions, and an easy evening to get your bearings.
- Arrival Window: Thursday afternoon
- Activity: Airport pickup, lodging check-in, bike assembly
- Evening: Welcome briefing + dinner
Day 2 – Lighthouse Ride
Roll out along the Formentor peninsula, the most dramatic stretch of coastline on the island. The road pitches and dives past the Mirador des Colomer, then threads out to the lighthouse perched at the very tip, cliffs falling away to the sea on both sides.
Punchy, rolling climbs rather than one long grind — a perfect leg-opener with a postcard payoff at the turnaround.
Activity: Coastal out-and-back
Mileage: ~50 km / ~800 m climbing
Ride: Port de Pollença → Cap de Formentor lighthouse → return
Day 3 – Sa Collabra
The signature climb of Mallorca, and one of the most famous ascents in the world. You’ll descend the switchbacks all the way down to the cove at sea level — including the legendary Nus de sa Corbata, the tie-knot hairpin that loops back over itself — then turn around and climb every meter back out.
9.5 km at ~7%, relentless but rhythmic. Pace it patiently on the way up and let the views do the rest.
- Activity: Signature climb day
- Mileage: ~90 km / ~1,700 m climbing
Ride: Coll dels Reis → descend to Cala de sa Calobra → climb back out
Day 4 – Puig de Santa Magdalena
A short, sharp climb up to the hilltop hermitage above Inca, rising straight out of the central plain. It’s only a few kilometers, but the ramps bite — expect double-digit gradients near the top.
The reward is a 360° panorama across the whole island: the Tramuntana on one side, the flat Es Pla farmland rolling out on the other.
- Activity: Punchy climb day
- Mileage: ~4.5 km climb / ~300 m (within a ~60–70 km loop)
Ride: Inca → Ermita de Santa Magdalena → return
Day 5 - Col de sa Batalla
A steady, scenic Tramuntana climb from Caimari up toward the Lluc monastery — the gateway to the high mountains. Around 8 km at a manageable ~5%, winding up through pine and rock with the gradient never spiking on you.
This is a climb you can settle into and actually enjoy, rather than survive.
- Activity: Mountain climb day
- Mileage: ~8 km climb / ~470 m (within a ~75–85 km loop)
Ride: Caimari → Coll de sa Batalla → Lluc
Day 6 - Sa Pobla
An easier day through the flat agricultural heart of the island. Quiet farm lanes, market-town café stops, and open plains — a chance to spin the legs out, roll in a group, and soak up the last of Mallorca before heading home.
Flat, social, and unhurried.
- Activity: Recovery / café spin
- Mileage: ~50 km / minimal climbing
Ride: Plains loop through Sa Pobla and the Es Pla
This is a climb you can settle into and actually enjoy, rather than survive.
- Activity: Mountain climb day
- Mileage: ~8 km climb / ~470 m (within a ~75–85 km loop)
Ride: Caimari → Coll de sa Batalla → Lluc
Where we'll ride
Where We Stay
The Seaside Experience
Port de Pollença is the ideal home base for a week on the bike: relaxed, walkable, and close to everything. The intimate beachside setting sits minutes from both the island’s toughest coastal climbs and its gentlest inland lanes, so every ride starts and ends at your door. In the evenings, wander the back streets, find a table by the water, and let the day’s efforts settle over a plate of fresh local seafood and a glass of Mallorcan wine.
Traveling solo? Add the Single Occupancy option at checkout to have your own bedroom for the week (+$500).
