Is This Trip For Me?
Ride Mallorca with Sportive Breaks next spring. Our Mallorca Cycling Weekender includes 3 to 4 days of guided rides. Arrive mid-week on Wednesday when flight prices are a bit cheaper and depart on Sunday so you can be back for work on Monday.
Every day you can join your choice of 4 guided rides straight from the hotel. You can choose from 4 ride groups every day depending on your fitness and experience level. On the road you will be well-looked after by English speaking ride captains.
Bring your own bike or rent one of our carbon road bikes for the weekend. Stay with us at a 4-star hotel in Playa de Muro where the best riding is in Mallorca. Breakfasts and evening meals are included. As well as the cycling, you can enjoy the hotel’s pool and of course you can have a dip in the sea.
