The trip runs 8-15 March 2025 and is priced at CHF 1525, roughly EUR 1620. You arrive at Palma de Mallorca airport and get a transfer to Osa Major, a quiet private property inland. Rooms are twin or double with private bathrooms, and the interiors are done to a high standard. Breakfast is healthy and daily, lunch comes on the riding days, and dinner is home-cooked for six of the seven nights. Coffee, tea and water are available without limit; wine, beer and soft drinks come from an honesty bar.

Riding is organised into two groups. The XC group needs a minimum fitness level of 2 and technical ability of 2-3. The enduro group needs fitness level 2 and technical ability 3-4. A team of guides handles both, and they choose trails to match what each group can ride. Mallorca has a wide spread of terrain, so the guides have room to make the week work whether you're solid on flowy trail or comfortable on rockier, steeper enduro lines.

Five days are spent riding, with the remaining time for rest, the property, and the island. Bike shuttles and local transport are included, so you're not pedalling up to every trailhead. There's a bike wash and workshop on site, and the team will help with repairs and set-up during the week.

What separates this from a generic bike camp is the base. Osa Major is run by a Dutch couple who host retreats there, and the setup is a private house with indoor and outdoor space rather than a hotel. You eat together, the food is cooked at the house, and the atmosphere is a group of riders staying in someone's home rather than a package hotel.

Bike hire is available as an optional extra at EUR 260 for the week, on a Trek Remedy. Insurance is not included, and medical and accident cover that also covers mountain rescue is required.
