Welcome to Mallorca
Meet your guides at one of our recommended pre-night properties for a transfer to the island’s center. Here, we’ll start our first ride through Mallorca’s heartland, peppered with vineyards, olive groves, and ancient towns. After lunch, check into the luxurious Son Brull, our hotel for the next two nights, and spend the afternoon by the pool with a glass of chilled wine. Tonight, we’re served a sumptuous selection of local ingredients from the island and its pristine coastal waters.

The Bay of Formentor
Today, tackle the epic Cap de Formentor lighthouse ride—one of Mallorca’s legendary roads. Our ride begins with an inland spin to the fortified town of Alcúdia, the ancient Roman capital of Mallorca. Our main climb of the day takes us from Port de Pollença to the Colomer Mirador, where we’ll steal some magnificent glimpses of craggy rocks and the shimmering blue sea. Arrive at the lighthouse, enjoy a refreshing drink, and take a moment to snap some photos from the lighthouse terrace. Ride all the way back to Port de Pollença, or transfer and arrive in time for lunch at Tolo’s, a favorite hangout for amateur and professional cyclists alike—Sir Bradley Wiggins has been spotted here. After lunch, return to the hotel by van or via the coastal road to Alcudia. Tonight, our friend Kata opens the door to her family-owned winery. We’ll stroll through the vines, glass in hand, then enjoy a lively paella dinner accompanied by classic Spanish guitar.

The Tramuntana Classic

From rocky lunar landscapes to magnificent coastal cliffs that plunge into the azure sea, our ride reveals hand-hewn tunnels, mountain lakes, shady forests, and quaint sandstone villages. Climb the Col de Puig Major, the highest point of the week where we’ll pause to absorb the views of the valley below before an exhilarating 14-kilometer descent into Sóller. After lunch, hop in the van or ride to Deià and our home for the next two nights, the luxurious Hotel La Residencia.

Eclipse Over Mallorca
Today we dial down the intensity to conserve our energy for tonight’s sol y sombra soirée. Ride out from the hotel on a coastal road, then descend right into Sóller. From here, choose an easier loop through the small village of Fornalutx past citrus and olive orchards, or tackle the challenging switchbacks of the Col de Sóller, adding a 6% grade over five kilometers. We’ll regroup in the charming seaside village of Port de Sóller for a delicious lunch overlooking the marina before zipping along the coast towards the Deià cove, close to our hotel. Tonight is the show we’ve all been waiting for as a total solar eclipse takes place over northern Spain for the first time since 1905. At the best viewpoint in the region, your guides have prepared a celestial celebration where the sundowners flow freely. We’ll make our way back into Deià for the (second) sunset of the evening, where you’re free to dine at a restaurant of your choosing.

During this stunning ride, we’ll cruise between the mountains and the coast on one of the island’s most revered cycling routes, the Tramuntana Classic. A celebratory lunch is served in the chic marina town of Port Andratx. After lunch, opt to continue your ride all the way to our final hotel of the week, or transfer by van.
