9 Day Cycling Holiday
Playa de Palma, Mallorca Spain
Trip 2 - April 17-25, 2027
“It’s rare that I get to go on vacation and everything is done for me. This was the best. All I had to do was show up”
North or South?
If you want a more tranquil environment with pristine beaches and a smaller, more intimate hotel, the north is the place to stay. It also gives quicker access to the mountains and their breath-taking views and is ideal for all levels of cyclists. The south, by contrast, boasts a very large, impressive hotel with a magnificent spa and extensive facilities; its beaches are beautiful but often busy, and Palma’s ample shopping and dining options are just a 20-minute taxi ride away. Mountain roads from the south lie a little farther afield but reward cyclists with dramatic panoramas and perspectives you won’t reach from the north.
Updated June 28, 2027: Maximum 30 Guests
Our Mallorca Cycling Holiday captures the essence of a true cyclist's paradise. All of your riding will be based out of southern Playa de Palma region just east of Palma. You will be staying in an incredible 4.0-star hotel located 500 meters from the beach of Palma, offering our guests the opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of one of the most popular areas of Mallorca. A paradise of luxury and relaxation, inside you will find the peace and quiet you were looking along with free access to many of the services offered by the hotel; you can sunbathe at one of the many outdoor swimming pools, take a pleasant dip in the warm Spa or keep fit in the 24 hr fitness area.
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, Col de Soller 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 short of a Mediterranean dream come true. You will have the choice of daily guided rides for all cycling levels offering 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 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 around 9:30 AM and return sometime between 2-4 PM depending on the length of the ride and your ability level. Once you return to the hotel, the afternoon is yours to enjoy as you wish.

If you chose to ride in one of the provided guided groups, there is an 8 Euro daily guide fee. 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.

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.
