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!
