Cycling day trip from Palma to Magaluf

This scenic ride takes you from the vibrant island capital of Palma all the way to the legendary Magaluf beachfront. Set off from Palma, famous for its majestic cathedral and bustling old town, and pedal southwest along mostly well-paved cycleways and quiet roads. The route covers just over 21 km – a perfect distance to earn your seaside siesta – with a gentle ascent of about 270 meters before it’s mostly downhill to the coast.

You’ll breeze through a mix of city outskirts and peaceful countryside, catching glimpses of the Tramuntana mountains and the glittering Mediterranean. With 70% of the way on dedicated cycle paths, it’s both comfortable and safe for most riders.

Arriving in Magaluf, you’ll be greeted by wide sandy beaches and an atmosphere famous for its energetic nightlife. It’s a world away from Palma’s cobbled streets, making for a ride that shows off Mallorca’s variety. Don’t forget sunscreen—this is a sun-soaked stretch all the way!
