Riding the Endless Smooth Roads of Mallorca

Mallorca (also spelled Majorca) is blessed with endless smooth roads. This ‘paradise for cyclists’ offers challenging climbs, thrilling descents, hairpin bends, and smooth country lanes. The island is cycling friendly and you will meet plenty of other cyclists whether it’s on a hairpin bend or enjoying a coffee after a challenging ride. You might even meet some famous ones.

All SportActive guests stay under the same roof

We ride together, we eat together, and camaraderie forms. Our guests tell us they make new long lasting friendships on our tours. If you are wondering if you can enjoy the training if you’re travelling alone, the answer is yes.

Relax after your Training

After a day on the road why not wind down with a relaxing sports massage? Or go for a spa or a swim in one of the three hotel pools? Let’s not forget the after-ride walk on the beach.

Beaches, Shopping and Relaxation

When you’re not training, why not walk on a beautiful golden beach, where you will be greeted by the sea air and breeze. The blue sea stretches as far as your eye can see. You will also be in the heart of Mallorca’s shopping and nightlife districts.

Guided or Self-Guided Option

You can either ride fully guided and coached or blaze your own trail. If you choose guided and coached the alloy frame-carbon fork hire bike is included in your package price of 599 €/pps week. How cool is that! If you are riding self guided, you can still hire a bike from us. Why bring your bike on a plane?

Testimonials

I was looking for a booster to start my cycling training and get some confidence to climb.

This was my first cycling trip and choosing Sportactive was the best thing I did ! I went by myself, without my bike and not much experience.

Everything was organized smoothly as promised and Martin managed to fit the bike perfectly for me for the next 500 km. He is a fantastic professional, he knows every bit of Mallorca and everything about cycling; and lead each one of us to our best.

I learned a lot every day and achieved much more than expected. I am already looking forward to my next challenge with them and totally recommend it.

Testimonials

Thanks for the great organisation. Had a great week with Martin and turned out to be lots of lovely ladies out as well, so was very happy with that.

Weather was kind to us and some great training rides. I conquered Sa Calobra - not sure enjoy springs to mind but I did it, so I have that one ticked off! See you in April,

best wishes Paula.
