Overview
Mallorca, an experience by bike. Don’t just See Mallorca, Experience it
Mallorca is an island to savour. From olive and orange tree orchards to amazing mountain views and tucked away villages, Mallorca has to be experienced by bike. Travelling by car or bus to various locations means you miss too much, only glimpsing Mallorca rather than living it. The only way to really get a flavour of the culture and the people is to ride from place to place. Ride with SportActive and you will get a chance to truly experience the island and her culture.

Guided Tours – See the Beautiful and the Spectacular - Explore Stunning Locations by Bike
Our guided tours ensure you see the spectacular and the beautiful, as well as finding the best places to top up your tan and drink a fine cup of coffee. Not to mention the best places to eat for lunch. Riding from place to place on mostly traffic-free roads you will see all the best places Mallorca has to offer, not missing a thing!
We ride together, we eat together, and camaraderie forms
All SportActive guests stay under the same roof. Our guests tell us they make new long lasting friendships on our tours. If you are wondering if you can enjoy the holiday if you’re travelling alone, the answer is yes.
Beaches, Shopping and Nightlife
Two hundred metres from your hotel you will find a beautiful golden beach, where you will be greeted by the sea air and breeze. The blue Mediterranean Sea stretches as far as your eye can see. You will also be in the heart of Mallorca’s shopping and nightlife districts.
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.
No need to transport your Bike

Itinerary, Cycling Location, and Profile
Leisure Cycling Holiday Location
Your Cycling Holiday is located on the Balearic island of Mallorca, belonging to Spain. Mallorca is known as the Paradise for cyclists due to its weather conditions, smoth traffic free roads, mountain climbs, flat-undulating roads making it the ideal place of all types of cyclists and training needs. Puerto Alcùdia, our base, is situated on the north coast, the most picturesque part of Mallorca.
Leisure Cycling Holiday Profile
5 structured rides/week in ability groups.
Depending on numbers, we run up to 5 different groups. In the SportActive Cycling Centre you will meet very experienced cyclists, here for training, more relaxed groups for a leisure holiday and also beginners. The groups never exceed 14-15 riders. You will never see a SportActive group of 20 people or more on the road.
Pace of the Leisure Group: 3-5 hours per day
Lunch stop in a local bar plus one or two coffee stops; number of stops depending on the group.
Daily distanceof the Leisure Group, in km: Depending on the ability of the group ; we start with 30 or 40 kms and build it up to 50 km, 60 km or even a little more. The road surface is smooth in Mallorca. This means that with the effort you need in the UK or Ireland to cycle 40 km, you'll do 60 in Mallorca. You wil be surprised how long you can go on Mallorca's smooth roads. If the group is up for it we'll encrease a little the distances indicated in the graph but without overstressing you.

2021 Autumn: 25th Sept - 25th Oct 2021
October is like summer in Mallorca with temperatures around 25-27°C! This is warmer than most summer days in Ireland or the UK. The Mediterranean Sea is still warm after the hot summer months and a post ride swim is the perfect end to the day.
This autumn, due to the pandemic, the Group Hotels Zafiro has opened only part of their hotels in Mallorca.
Therefore, we'll stay in Hotel Zafiro Can Picafort****. It offers the same quality services our clients are used to and is in the same area, the north coast of Mallorca, distant only 10 km from our usual base. This means we'll be, as before, on flat terrain, at only 15 km from the Tramuntana mountains and close to the beach. A noticeable difference is that Hotel Zafiro Can Picafort has only apartments (no studio rooms). This increases the holiday cost a little bit but in compensation a selection of drinks during dinner are included (beer, water, wine, soft drinks).
Prices shown for autumn are for 7 nights half board in the Hotel Zafiro Can Picafort & Spa****, based on double occupancy of a Premium Apartment, 5 guided group rides/week, airport transfers, bike garage with mechanic service.

This was my first cycle holiday with SportActive and it exceeded all expectations.
If there is such a place as "Cycle Heaven" then I think I just experienced it. Sportactive's organisation and customer care is second to none and I was so well looked after, from the moment I arrived to the moment I left.
The equipment was first class, and Martin's careful bike fit and Steve's maintenance during the week made for a comfy ride. I learned a lot from Derek and Alfonso and my technique has greatly improved.
The routes were stunning and achieved a perfect balance of enjoyment and challenge. Flora was always on hand to deal with any questions and her warm-down exercise sessions were very helpful. It was a real treat to meet Sean Kelly and cycle with him on the last couple of days.
If you are looking for a high quality cycle experience then I would highly recommend a week with Sportactive.

Testimonials
Thanks to all the staff at Sportactive for a fantastic week.
I wasn't too sure what to expect, being my first cycling holiday, but I was not disappointed. From the moment I arrived at the hotel, to the moment I left, I enjoyed every minute.
Efficient administration, friendly service, great guides, and progressive rides in both effort and beautiful scenery. Was a pleasure to ride with like minded riders, the icing on top was to have the privilege of riding with Sean Kelly.
Thanks again for a great experience.
