Mallorca – exploring the magical island on two wheels
The beautiful and mysterious island of Mallorca is like a mini-continent in the Mediterranean Sea – both in terms of its wealth of sights and its rugged beauty. It is the ideal place to take to two wheels, even if you’re an experienced motorcyclist – the island’s diverse terrain, twisting roads, sheer mountain passes and rocky coves provide some of the most incredible riding in the world.
Mallorca’s roads twist their way around rugged coastline dotted with tiny inlets and hidden beaches, upwards through winding mountain passes, deep into dense forests and across verdant valleys full of vineyards and olive groves. No matter where you go, however, the scenery is unforgettable.
Experience freedom and adventure on two wheels
Nothing compares to the sense of freedom and adventure felt when you set out on a motorbike ride. It is all about the journey, rather than the destination, as the twists and turns of the roads give you the opportunity to take in the breath-taking sights and taste the salty air.
Unlike riding in a car, when you’re on a motorbike you get to feel the terrain beneath you, the wind in your face and the sun on your back – something that no other form of transport can replicate. On a motorbike you’re living in the moment, and Mallorca provides the perfect playground.
Choose your own adventure around Mallorca
Mallorca is less than 20km wide, so you can easily head off in any one of several directions and come back to where you started – or go exploring further afield. However way you choose to cruise the island, you will find scenery that will take your breath away, from the majestic Tramuntana Mountains to the rocky seascapes of the Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve – and of course, plenty of incredible roads to ride.
The point-to-point routes are fun and will let you ride the length and breadth of Mallorca, from the fishing village of Pollensa in the North to the traditional port town of Puerto Soller in the West. There are plenty of sights to see and stops for a snack or a rest, as well as lots of opportunities to capture unforgettable photographs along the way.
Slowing things down to fully appreciate Mallorca’s beauty
You can also turn back the clock and explore the beautiful island on a classic, leisurely ride. Set yourself a nice, unhurried pace throughout the day and take the time to fully appreciate your surroundings. However you like to ride, it’s the perfect way to get off the beaten track and to learn all about Mallorca’s cultural diversity and its unique history. For example, make sure to take a visit to the mysterious Coves de S’Avenc, where archaeologists have discovered ancient civilisations dating back to the Bronze Age.
Make sure to stay safe on the roads
Of course, it is important to stay safe when riding a motorbike, so make sure you’re up to date with your safety gear and that your motorbike is in good condition. Take plenty of breaks along the way and stick to the speed limits.
