Mallorca 9-Day Cycling Holiday

April 11-20, 2025

Registration opens on June 1. Reserve an early bird spot by submitting an intake form.

Our Mallorca Cycling Holiday captures the essence of a true cyclist's paradise. You will begin your holiday in the city of Alcudia in the Play de Muro region of Mallorca. All of your riding for the first 6 days will be based out of Rei Del Mediterrani Palace, a 4.0-star hotel located about 400m away from one of the most beautiful beaches of Mallorca, the Playa de Muro and directly accessible to explore the north and east of Mallorca by bike. The monastery Lluc, Arta, the fishing village Porto Petro and Cape Formentor are all within reach. The hotel offers American styled double occupancy rooms with a balcony and views of the Mediterranean. Facilities include an indoor pool, sauna with relaxation room, an attractive lobby and several cozy bars. The extensive modern spa includes massages, body treatments, waxing, manicures and pedicures, facials, sauna and Turkish bath. The second half of your adventure will be based out of Playa de Palma region just east of Palma at the 4.0-star Grupotel Playa de Palma Suites & Spa featuring many of the same amenities as Hotel Rei. All the rooms are suites and the fantastic Spa facilities are included.

Oh, and the weather is almost sure to be better than home with 300 sun-drenched Mediterranean days per year and typical temperatures above 60 degrees. Here, you'll get a rider’s-eye view of the incredible mountains, fertile valleys, and tranquil turquoise waters as you ride picturesque training roads such as Sa Calobra, Puig Major and the coastal road to Andratx. We’ve kept the classic rides, and added a few gems to explore, so there’s no excuse not to come.

Cycling on the island is nothing of a Mediterranean dream come true. You will have the choice of daily guided rides of 30, 60 and 85 miles with incredible views in every direction including flat riding, rolling hills to great climbs and descents… it is like riding a Gran Fondo every day! Stunning, beautiful, and amazing … the trip of a lifetime! Ride, shop, walk, it is all right at your doorstep.

DAILY ITINERARIES

The focus of our trips is to build your base miles for the coming cycling season or utilize all of the training you have done at the end of the season. As a result, our rides are focused on the physical dimension and not the sightseeing, so we anticipate that all guests will have a good level of physical ability and be sufficiently prepared to comfortably ride a variety of challenging terrain. Each morning you'll begin your ride between around 9:30 AM and return sometime between 3-4 PM depending on the length of the ride and your ability level. There is no follow vehicle, so you will need to carry appropriate layers and food for your ride. Once you return to the hotel, the afternoon is yours to enjoy as you wish.

  • This Cycling Camp is suitable for all levels of riders.

    NEW! Level E I Tourist: I want to leave when I feel like it, I want to stop and take as many pictures as I want. I want to go wherever I choose either on my own or with a small group and without a guide.

    Level D | Cappuccino: I’m relatively fit and am comfortable with hills that are less than half a mile in length. I want to ride on my vacation, but not necessarily every day. I can maintain an average speed of 10-14 mph.

    Level C | Plausch: I ride my bike on a regular basis either for fitness, to commute to work, or just for fun. I enjoy an active lifestyle with an occasional physical challenge. I can maintain an average speed of 14-16 mph.

    Level B | Hobby: Fitness is central to my life. I ride my bike regularly on a weekly basis and am comfortable with rides of 3-4 hours or more at a relatively strong pace. I can maintain an average speed of 16-22 mph.

    Level A | Tour: I ride my bike an average of 200 miles per week and enjoy a fast pace for an extended period of time. I love to train, improve, and consider myself an Advanced (A) rider. I can maintain an average speed of 20-25mph.

  • Averages are based on Level D and Level A totals

    AVERAGE DAILY MILEAGE: 30 - 60 miles

    TOTAL MILES (8 DAYS): 200 - 400 miles

    AVERAGE DAILY ELEVATION: 800 - 4,000 feet

    TOTAL ELEVATION 8 DAYS): 5,000 - 20,000 feet

  • The terrain is consistently rolling, with quiet, narrow, and winding roads, very little of it is flat. Although the ascents are not exceptionally steep, they are often upwards of three miles long and there are multiple climbs each day.

    See the itinerary for specific daily ride distances and elevation options. On all of our cycling holidays, Parvilla Travel seeks to find quiet, paved secondary roads to experience a region; busy roads are avoided as much as possible. The itineraries are an approximation of our trips and routes listed may change at the discretion of the guides to improve the trip experience.

  • Guides will be with each group every day with exception of the Tourist group. There is vehicle support in the event of an emergency at the discretion of the guide. There is no follow car so you carry what you need. But with the support of the guide and the others in your group, you are never far from a flat assist or a boost up that final climb.

  • On our Mallorca cycling trips, the fall brings much warmer temperatures in 70F-75F with evening temperatures dropping 5-10 degrees cooler. But being an island, Mallorcan weather can be unpredictable at times and the island can experience odd rain showers and coastal winds. It is advisable to bring warm layers and also rain gear.

    A detailed Event Road Book is sent out to all guests in the months leading up to their trip that includes itineraries, packing lists and more.

  • Breakfast and dinner are served in the Hotel Dining Room. Both meals are buffet style with a massive variety of food selections. Breakfast starts at 8am and dinner is served starting a 7pm. Vegetarian and Vegan along with food allergies are supported.

  • On most Parvilla Travel trips, there are plenty of non-riding options for riders who want to take the afternoon off, or travel companions who want to spend little or no time in the saddle. Non-riders are welcome on all of our trips. There are plenty of activities for the non cyclists, some of these activities have additional costs and can be arranged through the hotel's concierge. Some non-riding options on this trip are:

    • Savor local flavor and tradition on local winery tours

    • Hike in the dramatic Tramuntana mountains

    • Swim in the crystal blue Mediterranean

    • Golf

    • Explore medieval villages of the Tramuntana coast
