Luxurious Cycling escapes in Beautiful Mallorca

Mallorca can sometimes be misunderstood. But for those in the know, there’s a forgotten side of the island where tourists’ footsteps are few and far between; where the food is incredibly authentic, and where views are totally unblemished.

For those in the know, it is also an island made for luxury seekers; a place where award-winning hotels and Michelin star restaurants coexist against a spellbinding backdrop for the most discerning clientele. Plus with reliably warm weather pretty much all year round, and manageable winters, cycling in Mallorca is a dream.

Some of the most scenic cycling routes in the world are found here, and the island is definitely a favoured training ground for many of the professional teams! But it is suitable for all levels too, with many routes completed within 3-4 hours by an average cyclist.

Cycology Travel Ltd can create guided or non-guided holidays for anyone wishing to explore the island, complete with state-of-the-art bikes, including the new £7k Trek Madone (subject to availability) and women-specific bikes for female riders.

Cycology brings together an impressive fusion of exclusive five-star hotels and world-class rides (group or bespoke) with expert coaching through The Collective Coaching Programme led by the talented Rowe & King.

In addition to the training, guests have access to some of the best hotels on the island, so you can bring partners and the whole family for an amazing getaway. Here are some of the incredible hotels that Cycology guests can enjoy…

Hotel Sant Francesc

This five-star hotel is nestled in the heart of Palma’s historical and cultural district, with an entrance so discreet that you’ll feel like you’ve stumbled upon the Balearics’ best-kept secret.

 
Hotel Sant Francesc
 

Set within a restored 1880s manor house, Hotel Sant Francesc is not only a beautiful landmark in the city, but it also made the ‘Conde Nast Traveller Magazine Top 50 in the World Hot List’ in 2016. This is one of the most coveted hotels the island has to offer right now.

Castell son Claret

For a taste of the peaceful Mallorcan countryside, Castello son Claret will capture your heart. Panoramic views of lush greenery and rolling hills surround the hotel’s seven listed buildings; these buildings include old stables, outdoor buildings and the iconic castle that are now luxury accommodation.

There’s a large outdoor pool and decking (with breath-taking views), beautiful gardens, and its own on-site luxury spa offering exclusive treatments. But the biggest draw of this impressive hotel is its restaurant, Zaranda, awarded two Michelin stars to appeal to the biggest foodies. Zaranda is the perfect place to refuel after a long day riding out in the Spanish hills.

Jumeriah Port Soller Hotel & Spa

Keen cyclists who want to bring the whole family will love the Jumeriah Port Soller Hotel & Spa. Awarded the Luxury Hotel Award and the Luxury Eco Award at the Luxury Lifestyle Awards in 2016, it is truly the place to be this year.

The hotel takes advantage of the cliffs surrounding the port of Soller and its amazing cliff top location is part of it’s appeal, whilst being towered over by the Tramuntana mountain range. So add it to your bucket list if you’re a keen cyclist looking for the perfect spot in Mallorca. This is a spectacular hotel in dramatic location with superior service – a holiday to remember forever!

Other luxury hotels available for booking through Cycology include: Belmond La Residencia, St Regis Mardaval (great for families), set in the foothills of the Tramuntana Mountains, and more!
