Cycling in Mallorca

At Ponent Mar, we have everything you need to enjoy cycling in Mallorca at your own pace and with all the amenities you need. If the island is paradise on its own, touring it on two wheels is a dream come true. At Ponent Mar we have a bicycle garage, security, repair shop, tools, rental service, cycling guide and routes suitable for all levels. Mallorca is, without a doubt, one of the unmissable destinations for any true cyclist. Its unforgettable routes, its well-kept and safe network of secondary roads and its exceptional and warm climate all year round make Mallorca the perfect cycling tourism destination.

Ponent Mar is one of the pioneering hotels in Mallorca specialising in cycling tourism. We are proud to have hosted numerous professional teams (Carrera, Banesto... among others), with stars such as Miguel Indurain, Claudio Chiappucci, Marco Pantani, Alejandro Valverde, and Chava Jimenez. Nevertheless, we have not forgotten all the cyclists who have come and helped us in the creation of this project, nor those who have not come, but who will come!

Although the Banyalbufar route is one of the toughest stages, it is strongly recommended due to its beautiful scenery. It passes through Banyalbufar, a beautiful coastal village that is typical of the Serra de Tramuntana, but which also has even more to offer with its surrounding terraces. The route continues along the coastal road to the next village: Estellencs. Between the sea and the mountains you will find this charming village, which boasts a combination of heritage, tradition and nature. And finally we will head for Andratx, an area known for its orange, almond and olive production.
