The best cycle tour routes in the Balearic Islands1 Routes in Mallorca

One of Mallorca’s best-kept secrets, unknown to many, are its fantastic Mallorca cycle routes. You’ll enjoy a holiday on two wheels while getting to know some of the outstanding landscapes on this beautiful island.Who doesn’t enjoy a bike ride away from the traffic and with breathtaking views? It’s hard to resist!

 

RutaMuro – Sa Pobla

If you want to enjoy a unique moment of peace and quiet while contemplating the island’s stunning landscapes, feeling the gentle sea breeze while stocking up on good vibes, then this is the perfect route for you.

An authentic paradise away from the congested main roads and the noise, helping you get away from it all and recharge with positive energy whilst partaking in your favourite sport. Perfect, right?

Palma de Mallorca to El Arenal (S’Arenal)

This tour is perfect for cycling fans and those who enjoy pedalling on the flat while contemplating the marvellous Mediterranean Sea. We can tell you more slowly, but not more clearly: Mallorca is fascinating!

As well as cycling you can also stop off at the restaurants and beach bars along the way to boost your energy levels and even take a dip. A perfect outing for all the family!

Alcudia – Cabo de Formentor

A fantastic route for relaxing whilst soaking up the stunning headland landscapes and the beautiful beaches. You’ll be able to shed all your cares and leave them to one side. It will just be you and your bike, contemplating how wonderful life can be while pedalling through this superb paradise.

Lluchmayor – Puerto de Pollensa

As this route is quite long it can be split into two stages; the first from Lluchmayor to Campanet and the second from Campanet to Porto de Pollensa. The big advantage: no major climbs.

If you’re still feeling up to it and want to go that little bit further, you can go all the way to Cabo de Formentor in the far north of the island. Good plan!

A mountain tour in Sierra Tramontana

The hors catégorie stage in Mallorca is for the most intrepid. If you relish the prospect of cycling along steep mountain roads, this is the ideal route for you.

We recommend you start in Sa Calobra, which can be accessed from various points, but the route starting from Alcudia station is a particularly good one. Only professional cyclists train here. Are you up for it?

 

2 Menorca Routes

As it’s smaller, Menorca is easier for cyclists to get around than Mallorca and there are no mountains. Don’t worry if you fancy stopping, you can park your bike while you go for a wander.

Camino de Cavalls by bike

The Camino de Cavalls offers nothing but enjoyment by bike and excellent opportunities for walking and cycling. On the well-marked camino track a mountain bike is essential. Don’t forget to take it!

Varied landscapes, beautiful bays and beaches as well as cultural stops and breathtaking views make this cycling trail one of the most spectacular in Europe. You can take stunning photos as the sun rises and sets.

Puerto Maó – Sa Mesquida Route

You´ll be amazed by the great natural diversity and farmland that make up this fantastic landscape. It’s a great route to put all your cares behind you but also to get to know the area. En route you’ll find natural and man-made caves, a defence tower, a necropolis…In short, a it’s a jewel!

Ruta Von Ciutadella

An easy route, ideal if you’re into cycling. This route will let you savour protected beaches in the south of Menorca and you’ll get to know a bit about the island’s history and culture. The best touring on wheels!

Ruta Cabo d’Artrutx

You’ll discover both scenic diversity and expansive beaches. You’ll enter a world of positive emotions as you pedal along this fantastic route. The area tends to be highly popular with visitors because of its stunning beaches featuring fine sand and an azure sea. You’ll be able to soak them up while listening to the swallows sing.

Cabo Favaritx – Arenal de Castell

The majestic, shady mountains and imposing rocky landscape will engulf you as you cycle along this incredible route with its dreamy views. It’s a truly outstanding experience, particularly because of the combination of diverse settings that are bound to leave you open-mouthed. A ride you’ll never forget, believe me!

Now you’re familiar with some of the best cycle routes, all that remains is to do it! The Balearic Islands await you!
