What are the most scenic cycling routes and viewpoints to visit around Mallorca?

The Ma-10 road winding through the Serra de Tramuntana offers some of the island’s most spectacular cycling scenery. As you pedal between Sóller and Deià, the cliffs plunge dramatically toward the sea, olive groves and terraced fields frame the route, and small villages seem timeless. Keep an eye out for viewpoints like the Mirador de ses Barques, where you can stop to take in panoramic vistas over the coast and the Balearic Sea. The fresh mountain air and the scent of pine make this stretch unforgettable.

On the northeast coast near Formentor, the roads twist past turquoise coves and fragrant pine forests. Cycling this area rewards you with hidden spots like Cala Murta and the lighthouse at Cap de Formentor, where the views across to Menorca are often clear on bright days. Nearby, the picturesque town of Pollença invites a pause with its cobbled streets and inviting cafes serving local specialties like pa amb oli and sobrassada.

For a gentler route, consider the flat stretches around Alcúdia and the S'Albufera wetlands, where birdwatching complements the scenery. Less trafficked roads through the countryside near Manacor lead to historic fincas and quiet olive groves, culminating in sweet breaks with a glass of Binissalem wine or a freshly baked ensaimada. These varied routes showcase Mallorca’s blend of rugged natural beauty, charming villages, and rich culinary traditions that make cycling here especially rewarding.
