Mallorca has become a paradise for motorbike enthusiasts. Its road network connects landscapes that seem purpose-built for motorcycle discovery, from imposing mountains to hidden coves. For those looking to combine the thrill of the road with exploring the island, this motorbike route through Mallorca is a journey full of surprises.

Starting from historic Alcúdia, the journey takes us through elegant Artà, the serenity of Cala Mesquida, and the port of Cala Ratjada, before returning to our starting point. Ready to discover why Mallorca comes alive with every kilometre?

Alcúdia, the starting point

In northern Mallorca, Alcúdia stands out for its ancient history and unique character. Founded by the Romans and surrounded by medieval walls, touring its old town means delving into the past through narrow streets and peaceful squares. Its strategic position makes it the perfect starting point for a motorbike route through Mallorca: close to main roads, with varied landscapes all around and services that make logistics easy for any two-wheeled traveller. Alcúdia offers convenient parking and nearby workshops—details that bring peace of mind to the journey.

Before beginning the route, it's worth stopping at the Porta de Sant Sebastià, one of the most emblematic entrances, and at the Monographic Museum, where you can explore Pollentia's Roman legacy. The traditional markets on Tuesdays and Sundays allow you to stock up on local produce.

A tip before setting off: don't forget to check your bike's condition and fill the tank—small attention that ensures a trouble-free journey. Shall we get started?

From Alcúdia to Artà: a journey through changing landscapes

The motorbike route through Mallorca between Alcúdia and Artà offers well-surfaced roads and gentle curves suitable for riders of any level. Leaving Alcúdia, the Ma-12 is a recommended route: it crosses rural areas and approaches the sea at various points. It's advisable to exercise extra caution at agricultural road crossings and when travelling through sections where you might encounter cyclists, especially during high season.

Throughout the journey, the landscape alternates between almond and carob fields, Mediterranean scrubland areas, and open views towards the coast in certain stretches. The Llevant mountain range appears on the horizon and, depending on the season, you might find the changing colours of farmland dotted with windmills and small estates. We recommend a stop at Colònia de Sant Pere, a coastal village ideal for resting by the harbour and rehydrating before continuing.

As you approach Artà, access is straightforward with clear signage towards the centre. The municipality has motorcycle parking near the historic quarter, making it easy to explore on foot and discover artisan markets and the heritage of Sant Salvador.

Cala Mesquida: a stop full of natural contrasts

Cala Mesquida, in northeast Mallorca, provides the perfect setting for a break on your motorbike route, offering a dazzling contrast to the landscapes covered so far. Surrounded by protected dunes and pine forests, this cove stands out for its authenticity and natural richness. Beyond its fine sand and turquoise waters, the environment itself is spectacular.

For those looking to stretch their legs, there are trails that emerge from the cove and invite you to explore this setting. A short walk to the nearby viewpoint offers impressive panoramic views, combining the intense blue of the sea with the green tones of the surrounding vegetation. Additionally, Cala Mesquida hosts an important colony of migratory birds, adding a fascinating element for nature lovers.

Cala Mesquida is much more than a detour; it's also an ideal opportunity to regroup, review your itinerary, and recharge before continuing to the next destination.

Cala Ratjada: the coastal contrast

Arriving at Cala Ratjada marks one of the most dynamic stretches of the motorbike route through Mallorca. Access to the town centre is via secondary roads in good condition with clear signage. Motorcyclists will find several designated parking areas, including spaces near the dock and at the beginning of the seafront promenade, making stops hassle-free.

For those looking to rest without losing sight of their bike, many terraces and cafés allow you to park nearby and keep an eye on your luggage. The area around Capdepera Lighthouse is particularly attractive for those who prefer peaceful viewpoints and want to escape the hustle and bustle for a few minutes; access is straightforward, though the road has tight curves and irregular surfaces in some sections.

Cala Agulla, located just minutes from the town centre, offers specific motorcycle parking for most of the year and flexible access even on busy days. This stop allows you to refresh or take a brief break before continuing your motorbike route through Mallorca towards less urbanised landscapes.

The return journey: alternative stops for bikers

On the return leg of your motorbike route through Mallorca, a recommended option is to take the detour towards Son Serra de Marina, a discrete settlement facing the coast, with quick beach access and beach bars where you can grab something before continuing.

For those seeking a slightly different experience, the Canyamel area invites you to visit its emblematic tower and, if time permits, enjoy the access road that winds between nature and sea, always with good road surface for your bike.

In the final stretch, considering a brief stop at Port de Can Picafort could be a winner: the spot is perfect for refuelling, having an outdoor coffee, and planning the final kilometres. These suggestions avoid repeating landscapes and allow you to discover less crowded spots, designed for those who want to make the most of every curve until the very last minute of the journey.
