Following the invigorating ride, savor a farm-to-table lunch at a local farm, indulging in fresh, locally sourced delights that highlight the island's culinary richness. Post-lunch, the choice is yours – unwind on the sandy shores of the beach, bask in the sunshine by the hotel pool, or immerse yourself in pure relaxation at the spa. Whether it's the rhythmic waves, the refreshing poolside ambiance, or the soothing spa treatments, your second day is designed for you to recharge and revel in the multifaceted pleasures that Mallorca has to offer.
Day 3: Exhilarating journey through Tramuntana
Your third day unfolds with an exhilarating cycling journey through the foothills of the Tramuntana mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage site. A pit stop at Sa Ruta Verde in the town of Caimari introduces you to excellent coffee and locally crafted fuel tailored to Mallorca's cycling culture, ensuring you're primed for the challenges ahead.
Climb Coll de Sa Batalla to breach the Tramuntana, where the real adventure begins. The route offers you the opportunity to conquer the famed Sa Calobra, a cycling classic with its twisting hairpin bends and breathtaking scenery. The reward for your efforts is the arrival to the luxurious Belmond La Residencia, a gem nestled in the heart of Deià. Indulge in a well-deserved dinner in town, perched on cliffs that overlook the sea, as the sun sets over the Mediterranean.
Day 4: Coastal ride
Day four unfolds with a legendary coastal ride, tracing the sun-kissed roads that weave through charming towns like Valldemossa, Estellencs, Banyalbufar, and Esproles. As you pedal, the coastal breeze accompanies you, and each turn reveals postcard-perfect views of the Mediterranean.
Pause for a well-deserved coffee break at a cliffside cafe, treating yourself to unparalleled views over the azure sea. The road, an undulating dance of climbs and descents, continues to showcase the stunning Mallorcan coastline. Eventually, the route turns inland, guiding you through quiet roads that wind through forested areas, adding a touch of tranquility to your journey.
Your destination for the day is the illustrious Castell Son Claret, a haven of luxury nestled in the Mallorcan countryside. Conclude the day with a dining experience at the Michelin-starred restaurant on the estate, where culinary artistry and the charm of Mallorca converge for an unforgettable evening.

Should your legs yearn for respite, indulge in relaxation by the pool or at the spa, letting the soothing ambiance of Mallorca rejuvenate both body and mind.
