Balearic Islands · 6 days · From USD 6699 (indicative)
Day one starts at Anssia Gastrobeach Club Palma at 11:30, then a 45-minute shuttle to a country bistro in the foothills for lunch with the Tramuntana in view. Guides fit you to your bike, and the first ride is a 38 km loop from Alaró to Caimari with 400 m of climbing, finishing at Finca Banyols, a hotel built in 1475 around a working olive press.
Day two is the winery day. The ride climbs the Coll d'Honor and drops into Orient, with a longer option over the Coll de Sóller and a cortado stop at a café on the way. At Bodega Ribas you tour the cellars and taste Mallorcan wines with Serrano ham and Manchego. The afternoon brings a spa treatment using the estate's own olive oil and honey, and dinner is yours in the village of Alaró.
Day three is the coastal ride people come for: the narrow, twisting road through Banyalbufar and Estellencs, villages sitting high above the Mediterranean, then inland to the old town of Andratx for lunch. The main route is 60 km with 1,000 m of climbing; the avid option runs 90 km and 1,386 m. You finish at the Kimpton Aysla in Santa Ponça, with the pools and spa open for the rest of the afternoon.
Day four is off the bike. A private sailboat takes you past rocky coves and sand beaches to Sa Illeta for paella, then back with time to explore the port. If you'd rather ride, guides have a route ready. Dinner is on your own, with a shuttle to the fishing village of Port Adriano if you want it.
Day five heads to Sant Elm in the island's south-west corner for lunch at a seafood restaurant, then climbs into the foothills with an optional summit of the Coll de Tords before Es Capdella and the descent back to the coast. The finale dinner is at Saba Restaurant Bar & Bodega, where chefs grill over open flame, make sushi and cook with Korean and Japanese technique.
Day six is a slow breakfast on the terrace, or a last 27 km loop out to the country town of Calvià. Guides see you off at 11:00 at the hotel, and a shuttle gets you to the airport for around 11:30.
