There is something unforgettable about cycling in Mallorca. The light, the colours, the small stone villages, the warm air, and the feeling that the roads were built for riders. Many people around the world already know that Mallorca is a dream destination for cyclists, but now more than ever riders from the United States are beginning to discover just how special this island truly is. With direct flights from JFK to Mallorca and simple connections through Barcelona, Madrid, Frankfurt, Munich, and London, travelling from the United States to Mallorca has never been easier. The number of American cyclists choosing Mallorca cycling holidays is growing fast and the excitement is justified.
Before planning a cycling holiday in Mallorca, one question always comes up. When is the best time to visit
The answer depends on the experience you want, but one thing is certain. The very best months for a Mallorca cycling holiday are the months that offer warm sunshine, calm roads, and enjoyable temperatures. That is why Velocamp Mallorca operates from the first of September until the end of May. These are the months when the island feels perfect for cycling. The temperatures are comfortable, the roads are quiet, and the whole landscape feels welcoming. From June to August the island becomes too hot for enjoyable riding, so those months are reserved for cooler destinations like the Alps in future seasons. But Mallorca belongs to the months between autumn and late spring, and it is during this period that the island becomes a paradise for cyclists.
Autumn in Mallorca. Warm golden light and perfect riding conditions
Autumn is one of the most popular times of the year for a cycling holiday in Mallorca. September, October, and November offer a perfect combination of sunshine, scenery, and comfort. Most days sit between twenty and twenty seven degrees Celsius which is around sixty eight to eighty one degrees Fahrenheit. The mornings are bright and calm, the afternoons warm but not intense, and the evenings are soft and peaceful.
The autumn light is golden and gentle. When you climb the famous Mallorca cycling routes like Coll de Sóller or Coll de sa Batalla, the sun glows across the mountains in a way that feels almost cinematic. The roads are smooth and still, the villages are lively but not crowded, and the sea is warm enough for a quick swim after your ride.
For riders travelling from the United States, autumn in Mallorca feels like a completely different world. While American cities begin to cool, darken, and prepare for winter, Mallorca stays warm and full of life. It is the perfect escape from shorter days, colder weather, and busy roads. Many American guests tell us that autumn in Mallorca is the single best cycling experience they have ever had.
At Velocamp Mallorca these months feel magical. Every afternoon when our guests return to the villa, the pool is warm enough to enjoy, the terrace glows with evening light, and the atmosphere feels like pure relaxation. Our chef prepares fresh seasonal meals each night and the whole villa settles into a calm rhythm that makes guests feel completely at home.
Winter in Mallorca. Quiet roads and gentle sunshine
December, January, and February are a best kept secret for Mallorca cycling holidays. While much of Europe becomes cold and dark, Mallorca stays bright and inviting. Temperatures typically range from twelve to eighteen degrees Celsius which is around fifty three to sixty four degrees Fahrenheit. The mornings can be crisp, but the sun still shines most days and the roads stay dry.
This is the season when the island slows down and feels peaceful. The Tramuntana Mountains are quiet and almost empty, and the views often stretch endlessly across the coastline. Many professional riders come to Mallorca at this time of year because it offers reliable weather and smooth roads while the rest of Europe is covered in snow or rain.
For guests arriving from the United States, winter in Mallorca is an incredible contrast. It is rare to find a place in winter where you can ride outside comfortably in light clothing and enjoy hours of sunshine. In states like New York, Colorado, Illinois, or Massachusetts, winter cycling often means indoor training or short cold rides. In Mallorca it means long climbs in sunshine and quiet afternoons in the warmth of the villa.
At Velocamp Mallorca winter guests enjoy the full recovery experience. After each ride you step straight into comfort. Smoothies, cakes, fruit platters, and warm drinks are waiting on the table. Soon after, you can enjoy professional sports massage, compression boots, stretching sessions, and time by the pool. Guests often describe winter cycling holidays in Mallorca as restorative, peaceful, and energising.
Spring in Mallorca. New colours and ideal temperatures
March, April, and May mark the return of bright colours and long days. This is one of the very best times to enjoy a cycling holiday in Mallorca. The temperature usually sits between eighteen and twenty four degrees Celsius which is around sixty four to seventy five degrees Fahrenheit. It is warm enough for short sleeves but cool enough to climb comfortably.
The mountains look green and alive after winter. Orange trees fill the air with fresh scent. Small cafés open earlier, and the island feels full of gentle energy. For American guests coming from colder climates or cities with unpredictable spring weather, Mallorca in spring feels like freedom.
The cycling routes are in perfect condition. Sa Calobra, Coll de Sóller, and the coastal roads all shine in the clear spring light. The traffic is light. The villages are calm. Every corner of the island feels welcoming. It is an ideal time for a Mallorca cycling holiday if you want beautiful scenery, warm air, and long comfortable days on the bike.
Spring is also one of the most popular seasons at Velocamp Mallorca. Guests begin the day with chef prepared breakfast, ride some of the most famous routes in Europe, and return every afternoon to a fully prepared recovery setup. The food stations on the road, the support car, the massage, and the peaceful villa make spring cycling holidays feel both challenging and indulgent.
The Velocamp Mallorca experience. The perfect balance of effort and comfort
No matter which season you choose, the heart of a Mallorca cycling holiday with Velocamp is the balance between effort and ease. Riders still cover serious distance. Over five hundred kilometres in a week and more than eight thousand metres of climbing is a real achievement. Yet the experience never feels overwhelming or punishing. You are looked after at every moment.
Fuel stations are placed along each route with fruit, snacks, sandwiches, isotonic drinks, and anything you might need. The support car is always nearby if you need help. When you return to the villa the food, drinks, and recovery treatments are waiting. Massage, stretching clinics, compression boots, and plenty of time to relax by the pool help your body recover quickly so you can ride again the next day feeling fresh and confident.
This is what makes Velocamp Mallorca different. It is a luxury cycling holiday built specifically for people who love riding but also want comfort, service, and calm. There is no pressure. No competition. No expectation to perform. Just beautiful cycling, Mediterranean sunshine, and a level of care that allows you to enjoy Mallorca at its best.
