Cycling in Mallorca: guided bike tours, road bike hire and e-bike routes

If you just want to pedal for a while and see the sights, the easiest choice is a city tour of Palma: they are flat, last about two and a half hours and usually finish with tapas. If you fancy more countryside without too much effort, an e-bike opens up routes inland and in the mountains that would be hard on a normal bike. Mountain bikes and e-MTBs take you along tracks in the Tramuntana or on the east coast, with a guide.

For road cyclists, Mallorca is above all an island of climbs and long rides: the usual approach is to hire a bike for several days or book a guided week. The most famous climb is Sa Calobra, with its hairpin road; we cover it in our Sa Calobra guide.

Palma Bicycle Tours starts from its premises on Avinguda Gabriel Roca, by the seafront, with several 2.5-hour routes. The Tour with Tapas adds a tasting to the city ride, from 61 euros; the e-bike version climbs into the Bellver woods and includes a walk around the castle, from 75 euros. They have guides in eight languages, German included.

Call&Ride leaves daily at 10:30 from its shop on Plaça del Rosari, right in the centre, for a small-group ride past the cathedral, the city walls, La Llotja and the Almudaina, with a drink and tapas at the end, from 59 euros, in English, Spanish and German. Greentours offers another e-bike route of about 15 to 18 kilometres through the old town, along the coast and up to Bellver, starting at 10:00 with an English-speaking guide; we have only seen its price in dollars.

Huerzeler Bicycle Holidays has what it describes as its largest base in Mallorca at Playa de Muro Sur, with several types of bike, including e-road bikes, and a shop. In 2026 the station opens from 13 February to 1 November, and the company also sells packages with flights, hotel and bike. From there Sa Calobra is about 55 kilometres away, and third-party sources mention a return transfer to shorten the ride.

In Sóller, Tramuntana Tours hires out everything from road bikes to high-end eMTBs fitted to your size, with a drop-off point in Port de Sóller. And if you would rather have everything organised, Sportive Breaks offers a guided cycling week based in Pollença, in small groups that ride together on the flat and climb at their own pace, with a guide and support van, over climbs such as Sa Calobra and Puig Major; its price is published in pounds, not euros.

At the south-western end of the Serra de Tramuntana, Es Capdellà is the base for two mountain options. Husky Rides works with Husqvarna e-bikes and runs private guided routes such as the e-MTB Galatzó Peaks, from 140 euros per rider (130 in groups of more than three), with all equipment included.

The Castell Son Claret hotel offers private e-MTB rides of three to four hours on scenic tracks, with guide and equipment, designed for beginner and intermediate levels; the bikes are delivered and collected at the hotel. It does not publish a price, so you will need to ask. Both are good choices if you want to see the mountains from the inside without having to be very fit.

From Cala Millor, CAMIBIKE runs guided MTB or e-MTB rides along the east coast, with different programmes depending on the season and themes such as flora, fauna, hidden coves or Mallorcan cooking. It costs 79 euros with your own bike, 98 with a premium full-suspension bike and 114 with a premium e-fully, and includes a German- or English-speaking guide, helmet, snack, water and photos.

Inland, Mallorca Amazing Tours starts in Inca for a four-to-five-hour e-bike half day on quiet lanes among olive, carob and almond trees, out to villages at the foot of the mountains, with stops at an olive mill and at a bakery in Lloseta known for its pastries. According to the listing it suits all fitness levels and costs from 70 euros, with e-bike, helmet, panniers, water and guide; food is extra.

The best seasons for cycling are spring and autumn, with mild temperatures; that is why hire stations such as Huerzeler's open from February to early November. In summer, set off very early or late in the afternoon, carry plenty of water and avoid the middle of the day. You can ride in winter too, but the days are short and the mountains are colder and windier.

On mountain roads you share the tarmac with cars, motorbikes and, on some stretches, coaches: on Sa Calobra the advice is to climb early or late to avoid them. Always wear a helmet (the tours in our listings include one), use lights if you will be back late and wear visible clothing. If you do not know the area, a guided ride is the most relaxed way to start.
