Playa de Muro Mallorca, Spain
Sept 26-Oct 4, 2026
Updated Jan 5: Maximum 30 Guests - 19 Registered.
2026 marks our 3rd annual FALL cycling holiday to the beautiful Island of Mallorca. This will be a 9-day adventure beginning on Sept 26th and wrapping up on Oct 4th. We will be staying at the 4-star Hotel Rei del Mediterrani Palace in Playa de Muro near Alcudia, in the north end of Mallorca. The hotel is located about 400m away from one of the most beautiful beaches of Mallorca and is directly accessible to explore the north and east of Mallorca by bike. The monastery Lluc, Petra, the shores of Port de Pollenca 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 and outdoor pools, 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.
Ride, shop, walk, it is all right at your doorstep.
Cycling on the island is nothing but the best and most spectacular we have ever seen anywhere in the Mediterranean. The weather is almost sure to be better than home with 300 sun-drenched Mediterranean days per year and typical temperatures above 70 degrees in the fall. You will 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 Reis and Cape Forementor. You will have the choice of daily guided rides of 30, 50 and 70 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! So, make plans for the most rewarding and memorable trip of your life! … the trip of a lifetime! All levels of cycling experience can enjoy this spectacular venue! And if you do not cycle or do not want to everyday, there are tons of places to visit and things to do; there is something for everyone!

DAILY ITINERARIES
The idea of this trip is to take advantage of all of the training you have done through the summer and use it at the end of the season. As a result, our trip is 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 10:00am and return sometime between 3-4pm 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 | Easy Riders: 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 | Grupetto: 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 | Peloton: 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 | Pacers: 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.

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. Our itineraries are an approximation of our trips and routes listed may change at the discretion of the guides to improve the trip experience.

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.
