What is the weather going to be like?
The fall in Mallorca brings optimal riding temperatures (65F-75F) with evening temperatures dropping 5-10 degrees cooler. Being an island, Mallorcan weather can be unpredictable at times and the island can experience odd rain showers and coastal winds. It is advisable to bring warm layers and rain gear.

On all of our vacations, Trek Travel strives to find quiet, paved secondary roads or bike paths to experience a region; busy roads are avoided as much as possible. Mallorca Beach is best suited for our Type 3 Riders. Our Trek Travel guides can also easily accommodate Type 2 Riders, who seek less mileage or fewer uphills, with a boost in the van. Those who wish to ride every mile but are concerned about their physical ability may want to try our electric bike option–you still get a workout but can climb alongside even the strongest rider. Type 4 Riders will enjoy the extra mileage the avid route options offer. The terrain is varied with rolling plains and hilly coastline. Mountain climbs generally are a steady grade, but can be steep in places. See Itinerary for specific daily ride distance and elevation options.
What are the options for a non-rider travel companion?
On most Trek Travel trips, we offer non-riding options for riders who want to take the afternoon off, or travel companions who want to spend little or no time in the saddle. Some of these options may need to be scheduled before your trip–please contact one of our Trip Consultants for more information. Expenses and/or related transportation to these activities may not be included in the trip price. See Included In The Trip Price for more information.
Some non-riding options on this trip are:
- Relax and rejuvenate at the Vespesian Spa at Reads Hotel
- Cooking school at Reads Hotel
- Dining at the Chef’s table in a Michelin Star kitchen
- Hiking in the Tramuntana mountains
- Swim in the crystalline blue waters of the Mediterranean
- Golf
- Wine tasting at Santa Caterina Winery
