Spain: Balearic Islands, Mallorca & Ses Salines

Your vacation is about to begin! Spend your first night aloft and arrive ready for an unforgettable trip.

A VBT representative will greet you at the airport to start your adventure off right. A complimentary car service will whisk you to your centrally located hotel. From here, you are perfectly positioned to explore this vibrant city at your leisure.

After a delicious, locally sourced breakfast, meet your VBT representative and fellow travelers at 8:30 a.m. in the lobby of Hotel Convent De La Missió in Palma. Please arrive dressed for cycling and bring your own pedals or saddle, if you use them.

From Palma, travel into the heart of a scenic plateau dotted with vineyards, olive groves, and orchards—the renowned Binissalém wine region in the southern foothills of the Tramuntanas. Wine has been produced here since Roman times and even continued under Moorish rule, despite religious restrictions.

Your warm-up loop ride follows flat, local roads past rolling orchards and open fields, with sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. The ride ends at a charming finca, where a hearty lunch and local wines cap off the ride.

For Spaniards, paella is more than a dish—it’s a celebration. In this spirit, you’ll join your host in preparing this iconic meal in a stunning setting. Though paella hails from mainland Valencia, it was embraced in Mallorca under Moorish influence. Later, rice cultivation returned to the island in the early 20th century, particularly in the salt-rich wetlands of S’Albufereta—where you’ll cycle later in the week.

After lunch, continue to Hotel Es Port, a fortified 17th-century mansion set on 10 acres (4 hectares) of lush gardens, native plants, and century-old trees. Unwind with spa treatments, a swim in the indoor or outdoor pool, or a stroll to the nearby waterfront for beach time and shopping.

This evening, enjoy a special welcome dinner of regional specialties prepared by the hotel chef. Weather permitting, dine al fresco on the poolside terrace.

This geographically isolated town boasts a stunning collection of Art Nouveau and neo-Gothic architecture, as well as an Old Town linked by charming electric tramcars.

You’ll loop through the Fornalutx valley, surrounded by an idyllic landscape of mountain villages, orchards, orange groves, olive trees, and vineyards. This is the Mallorca of old—a place where locals come to connect with nature and where time seems to stand still in its tiny, timeless villages.

Stop in Sóller to browse an array of local shops featuring handmade products and mingle with Majorcans before lunch at a very special venue: Can Det, one of the oldest fincas (estates) on the island. Apart from the addition of electricity, workers here have used the same traditional techniques for over 500 years. The 17th-generation owner will give you a personal tour, culminating in a lunch of local delicacies, including freshly pressed olive oil and orange juice from trees dating back to the 16th century.

Numerous well-preserved archaeological sites from the Talaiotic period of the Bronze Age, along with ancient architecture, reveal a region inhabited for thousands of years.

Continue riding off the tourist trail to Algaida, one of the island’s best places to soak up authentic Majorcan culture, known for its quality cuisine and wine. The name Algaida comes from the Arabic al-gaida, meaning “the base.” The area is rich in Talaiotic stone remains (1400–123 BCE), and the historic windmills scattered around the town define the landscape.

Pause in Algaida to sample local specialties and wines at one of the oldest wineries on the island, founded in 1229 during the reign of King James. Owned by the Morauqes family since the 15th century, the estate has been lovingly maintained using organic farming methods.

Today, you’ll visit the salt pans and the marble-white, dune-like mounds where a modern operation continues to process this mineral treasure.

Continue along flat, quiet roads into the protected national park, a rare salt-marsh ecosystem that is home to around 200 bird species, including flamingoes and ospreys. Approximately 178 plant species also thrive here, with two dozen classified as endemic, rare, or vulnerable—each uniquely adapted to the earth’s high mineral content.

Your route then winds through Mondragó Natural Park, where you cycle past fragrant almond and carob trees, and may spot a lone kestrel gliding above a stand of white pines. By midday, you’ll arrive in the peaceful fishing village of Cala Figuera, where traditional seaside culture remains beautifully preserved.

After a scenic morning ride, arrive in Caimari for lunch on your own. This charming village, known for its olive oil tradition and herbal liqueurs, showcases Mallorca at its most unspoiled, with steep forested slopes and narrow, winding streets.

In the afternoon, continue past larger vineyards and wide-open farmland dotted with sheep and pigs. By day’s end, you’ll coast into Pollença in the island’s north. This medieval gem invites exploration, with narrow, crisscrossing streets that echo its historic past. Ambitious visitors may climb the town’s famous 365 steps to the chapel of Calvary, while others may prefer the nearby Museum of Pollença, housed in a former Dominican cloister.

This evening, enjoy an included dinner in the heart of this charming town.

Bid farewell to Pollença this morning and cycle through the rustic Majorcan countryside, skirting olive groves, lush vineyards, and fertile farmlands. Your first destination is Sencelles, a municipality in the heart of the island that offers a glimpse into Mallorca’s past. Numerous well-preserved archaeological sites from the Talaiotic period of the Bronze Age, along with ancient architecture, reveal a region inhabited for thousands of years.

Continue riding off the tourist trail to Algaida, one of the island’s best places to soak up authentic Majorcan culture, known for its quality cuisine and wine. The name Algaida comes from the Arabic al-gaida, meaning “the base.” The area is rich in Talaiotic stone remains (1400–123 BCE), and the historic windmills scattered around the town define the landscape.

Pause in Algaida to sample local specialties and wines at one of the oldest wineries on the island, founded in 1229 during the reign of King James. Owned by the Morauqes family since the 15th century, the estate has been lovingly maintained using organic farming methods.

Leaving the Tramuntana Mountains behind, cycle south across the Pla i Llevant region, passing through the foothills of the Ronda range. As its name suggests—”plain and east coast”—this area offers a flat and peaceful ride through the countryside.

Start your day with an al fresco breakfast in the garden, then return to the saddle for your final day of exploring the diverse landscapes of Mallorca. Begin with a ride to what many call the “salt of the earth” side of the island—Salinas d’Es Trenc. Salt has been harvested from these shores since ancient times. Today, you’ll visit the salt pans and the marble-white, dune-like mounds where a modern operation continues to process this mineral treasure.

Continue along flat, quiet roads into the protected national park, a rare salt-marsh ecosystem that is home to around 200 bird species, including flamingoes and ospreys. Approximately 178 plant species also thrive here, with two dozen classified as endemic, rare, or vulnerable—each uniquely adapted to the earth’s high mineral content.

Your route then winds through Mondragó Natural Park, where you cycle past fragrant almond and carob trees, and may spot a lone kestrel gliding above a stand of white pines. By midday, you’ll arrive in the peaceful fishing village of Cala Figuera, where traditional seaside culture remains beautifully preserved.

From Palma, travel into the heart of a scenic plateau dotted with vineyards, olive groves, and orchards—the renowned Binissalém wine region in the southern foothills of the Tramuntanas. Wine has been produced here since Roman times and even continued under Moorish rule, despite religious restrictions.

Your warm-up loop ride follows flat, local roads past rolling orchards and open fields, with sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. The ride ends at a charming finca, where a hearty lunch and local wines cap off the ride.

For Spaniards, paella is more than a dish—it’s a celebration. In this spirit, you’ll join your host in preparing this iconic meal in a stunning setting. Though paella hails from mainland Valencia, it was embraced in Mallorca under Moorish influence. Later, rice cultivation returned to the island in the early 20th century, particularly in the salt-rich wetlands of S’Albufereta—where you’ll cycle later in the week.

After lunch, continue to Hotel Es Port, a fortified 17th-century mansion set on 10 acres (4 hectares) of lush gardens, native plants, and century-old trees. Unwind with spa treatments, a swim in the indoor or outdoor pool, or a stroll to the nearby waterfront for beach time and shopping.

Stop in Sóller to browse an array of local shops featuring handmade products and mingle with Majorcans before lunch at a very special venue: Can Det, one of the oldest fincas (estates) on the island. Apart from the addition of electricity, workers here have used the same traditional techniques for over 500 years. The 17th-generation owner will give you a personal tour, culminating in a lunch of local delicacies, including freshly pressed olive oil and orange juice from trees dating back to the 16th century. You’ll also see the oldest and only traditional olive oil press still in use on the island.

Later, cycle a mostly flat route back to your hotel or opt for a more challenging ride through a small mountain pass. In the afternoon, you might take a dip in the outdoor pool, stroll to the nearby beach, or simply pause to watch the sun set over the shimmering Balearic Sea.
