The essentials at a glance

Self-guided cycling tour around Mallorca with moderate difficulty. Explore Palma's historic old town, cycle through traditional villages like Artà and Fornalutx, visit the Dragon Caves near Porto Cristo, and enjoy scenic coastal routes past Es Trenc beach and salt flats. The route covers approximately 339km over 6 cycling days, mainly on dedicated bike paths and quiet roads. Includes bus transfer through the Tramuntana mountains with a stop at Lluc Monastery, luggage transport, and accommodation in 3- and 4-star hotels.

Experience a more authentic side of Majorca while also visiting some of the island’s best-known highlights. This eight-day circular cycling holiday takes you through idyllic villages, unspoilt bays, atmospheric harbours and beautiful natural surroundings. The journey begins at Playa de Palma, where the Mediterranean invites you to enjoy your first swim.

As you cycle through the countryside, you will pass traditional windmills and glistening salt lagoons. Along the coast, sandy beaches offer plenty of opportunities for refreshing breaks in the sea. Other highlights include the impressive Dragon Caves near Porto Cristo and Alcúdia, considered the oldest town on Majorca. Later, the dramatic scenery of the Serra de Tramuntana provides a magnificent backdrop before the route brings you to the charming harbour town of Port de Sóller.

 

Highlights on this tour

  • Swim from beautiful sandy beaches, including the famous Es Trenc
  • Explore the impressive Dragon Caves near Porto Cristo
  • Sample traditional Mallorcan specialities at the welcoming restaurants in Fornalutx
  • Discover the island’s vibrant capital and taste the refreshing lemon and orange ice cream in Port de Sóller

The route

The daily routes vary from easy to moderately demanding. There are several gentle climbs, usually followed by enjoyable descents through scenic landscapes. A bus transfer through the Tramuntana mountains gives you time to relax and admire the views. You will mainly cycle on dedicated bike paths, peaceful minor roads and paved agricultural tracks, with the routes carefully chosen to avoid traffic wherever possible.

Itinerary

See the day-by-day itinerary below.

Begin your holiday by exploring Palma, Mallorca’s lively capital. Wander through the atmospheric streets of the old town, sample local delicacies or stop for an ice cream along the way. The magnificent cathedral is well worth seeing, both for its impressive interior and its striking architecture. From the square outside, you can also enjoy a wonderful view of the surroundings. Back at Playa de Palma, the beach and sea provide the perfect setting for your first swim of the holiday.

Hotel (example): Java

Your holiday begins with a welcome meeting and an introduction to the week ahead. You then set off along the coast towards Capocorb Vell, also known as the land of the Cyclopes. The remains of its ancient settlement offer a fascinating insight into Mallorca’s distant past.

Traditional windmills accompany you through the countryside as the route continues towards the salt flats of Llevant. Here, pink and white salt lagoons create a distinctive and colourful landscape. You will also pass Es Trenc, whose pale sandy beach is often described as one of the finest on the island. It is an ideal place to take a break before continuing to Colònia de Sant Jordi, where more inviting beaches and clear water await.

Hotel (example): Hotel Universal Marques

Today’s ride begins with a journey through Ses Salines and continues towards a lovely botanical garden. From here, you cycle to the picturesque bay of Cala Santanyí and pass several traditional fishing villages.

One of the day’s natural highlights is Es Pontàs, an impressive rock arch rising from the sea. Near Porto Cristo, you will find the famous Dragon Caves, known for their extraordinary limestone formations and vast underground lake. A guided tour of the caves is highly recommended.

Hotel (example): Felip

The route initially leads inland through the characteristic Mallorcan villages of Son Carrió and Sant Llorenç. In Sant Llorenç, you can see the Church of Santa Maria del Bellver, which dates back to the 13th century.

Pleasant paths take you through the island’s scenic countryside towards Artà, a charming hilltop town with a maze of narrow streets. Make your way up to the Sanctuary of Sant Salvador, where a magnificent panorama unfolds across the coast, rolling hills, almond plantations and olive groves. The return journey follows a former railway line towards Son Servera before continuing back to the coast.

Hotel (example): Filip

Starting near the coast, you cycle through the peaceful village of Son Carrió before reaching Manacor. This bustling town is particularly famous for its Majorica pearls, which can be found in local shops alongside ceramics and traditional Mallorcan products.

The ride continues through Petra, where a typical Mallorcan snack is waiting for you, and then onwards to Santa Margalida. Some of the island’s most beautiful landscapes accompany you on the final section towards C’an Picafort. Once you arrive, you can relax beside the sea and enjoy a peaceful end to the day.

Hotel (example): Hotel Gran Bahia

Today you follow the coast to Alcúdia before continuing via Pollença towards the dramatic mountains of the Serra de Tramuntana. A transfer takes you to Lluc Monastery and then farther into the mountains, reaching approximately 1,200 metres above sea level. Along the way, you pass the large reservoirs that form an important part of Mallorca’s water supply.

From the mountains, a long and scenic descent brings you to Fornalutx, frequently named among Spain’s most beautiful villages. The village is an excellent place to enjoy paella at one of its welcoming terrace restaurants. Afterwards, you cycle through fragrant orange and lemon groves on the way down to Port de Sóller, one of Mallorca’s most appealing fishing and harbour towns.

Hotel (example): Marina

The final ride of your holiday is filled with magnificent views of the Mediterranean. Following Mallorca’s rugged west coast, you pass the beautiful villages of Deià and Valldemossa while cycling through some of the island’s most spectacular scenery.

The route eventually leads back to Palma, where you have another opportunity to enjoy the capital’s narrow lanes, elegant squares and vibrant atmosphere. From the city, a cycle path runs beside the sandy beach and takes you back to Playa de Palma, where your circular journey comes to an end.

When you book a trip with us, we plant a tree in Kenya.

Bering Travel partners with Growing Trees Network, which has been planting trees in Kenya since 2020 in collaboration with Seniorer uden Grænser (Seniors Without Borders). The trees are planted with small-scale local farmers in the Mount Kenya region, as well as at schools, where the fruit helps supplement students’ diets and is incorporated into their learning.

The trees are planted using the shamba method – a sustainable approach that combines reforestation with agricultural crops. This keeps the soil covered with vegetation throughout the year, helping to prevent nutrient loss and reduce erosion.

The contribution to tree planting comes directly from Bering Travel’s own earnings and is not added to the price of your trip.

This initiative is not intended as a carbon offset for travel, but as a way to make a positive contribution.
