Imagine your best day on a bike, finishing at a stylish boutique hotel, a post-ride drink on the beach followed by a gourmet meal in an 8-table hidden gem of a restaurant. Now repeat that for a week and you have our Mallorca Bespoke tour. Grant Reid, from the Mallorca Bespoke Tour 2018, had this to say about the tour:“Great organization, super-friendly guides, and top-shelf hotels and food. They delivered on every aspect of my adventure.”
Tour Difficulty Rating:
The roads, the rides, and the reputation of Mallorca as a cycling mecca are what brought us here, but over years of wandering through villages, mountains, and coastlines, we’re learned that the island offers much more than just the perfect ride. Our careful selection of unique luxury family-run hotels strategically located away from the major tourist centres lets you experience the genuine spirit of Malllorca. Warm welcomes are as important as the comfortable beds and beautiful architecture at our hotels, and their locations allow you immerse yourself in the true culture of Mallorca within steps of your door. An exciting and extraordinary gastronomic revolution has been gathering momentum in Majorca throughout the last decade, one that has seen the emergence of Michelin-starred island chefs, the opening of refined and modern tapas bars, and superb international restaurants starting to offer exceptional value. Each night you’ll be treated to a new culinary treat, from an unassuming tapas bar on a narrow, polished cobblestone street to an al fresco seafood feast on the Mediterranean seashore.

3. What is the terrain like?
Mallorca: The beautiful thing about the island of Mallorca is that it offers all varieties of terrain.
Some days will see us riding narrow, winding roads through olive and almond groves, while others will see us riding rolling coastal roads above the turquoise Mediterranean. Still others will have us climbing and descending through the dramatic Traumantana mountains. Regardless of where we’re riding, you can rest assured that your guides will ensure that all riders, regardless of ability, ride at a pace comfortable for them.
4. What are the hotels like?
Our tour sees us staying at 3 different boutique hotels in different parts of the island: Our first two nights have us staying at Posada d’es Moli, a former citrus orchard and farm converted to a lovely estate hotel that continues to use farm produce in it’s one award-winning restaurant. Nights 3 – 5 have us staying at L’Avenida, a truly luxurious boutique hotel in the centre of Soller, a vibrant mountain village in a citrus-growing valley hemmed in by dramatic limestone mountains. Our final nights are spent at Can Mostatxins in the heart of Old Alcudia. This chic, small hotel resides in a 15th-century building that hosted all manner of shops, most recently being a butcher shop. A multi-million dollar renovation converted this classic Mallorca building to a true work of art, blending classical stone work with modern glass and steel.
