Mallorca is one of Europe’s top cycling destinations, and spring is undoubtedly the best time to experience its charm on two wheels.

And when combined with a stay at Santa Clara Urban Hotel & Spa, the adventure reaches new levels of comfort and exclusivity.

Santa Clara Hotel’s Services for Cyclists
Located in the heart of Palma’s historic centre, just minutes from the sea and with easy access to major routes, Santa Clara Urban Hotel & Spa is much more than a charming accommodation. Tailored for discerning travellers, it has also become a point of reference for cycling enthusiasts. The hotel offers secure, free bike storage, high-quality bike rental for those who don’t bring their own, and a fully equipped tool station for small adjustments. After a long ride, guests can recover in the spa with a sauna, steam bath or hydromassage tub.

Must-ride Cycling Routes in Palma
From the hotel, some of the best cycling routes in Palma and its surroundings are easily accessible. One of the most popular is the coastal route along the Paseo Marítimo to El Arenal. This flat, scenic route offers spectacular sea views and passes by landmarks like the Lonja and the Auditorium – ideal for beginners or those looking for a relaxed ride with sea breeze.

For a more demanding challenge, the ascent to Santuario de Cura is a must. This 50 km ride with a 640 m elevation gain rewards cyclists with breathtaking panoramic views over Palma Bay and Mallorca’s interior from the summit. A ride that blends physical effort with nature and a sense of spiritual discovery.

For advanced riders and mountain lovers, the route to Coll de Sóller is one of the most iconic. Its winding switchbacks offer a unique cycling experience. The climb from Palma is tough, but riding through ancient olive terraces and oak groves, then descending into Sóller, makes it an unforgettable journey.
