Mallorca Bike Tour

Your guides will meet you at one of our recommended pre-night hotels, and we’re off to the town of Alaró. From here we’ll ride out through Mallorca’s wine region, passing local vineyards and quaint towns. We’ll stop for a tasty lunch in the main square of Pollença, catching the end of the open-air market. Continue spinning to our magnificent hotel for the next two nights, and perhaps enjoy a poolside glass of chilled wine before dinner. Tonight, we’re served a sumptuous selection of local ingredients from the island and its pristine coastal waters.

Our main climb of the day will take us from Port de Pollença to the Colomer Mirador where we can admire the magnificent views of craggy rocks and the shimmering blue sea. Arrive at the lighthouse, enjoy a refreshing drink, and take a moment to snap some photos from the lighthouse terrace. Afterward, ride all the way back to Port de Pollença, or transfer and arrive in time for lunch at Tolo’s, a favorite hangout for amateur and professional cyclists like Sir Bradley Wiggins. Following lunch, return to the hotel by van or via the coastal road to Alcudia.
