Discover cycling routes around Menorca, from secret trails to the Camí de Cavalls by bike. Experience the adventure from our boutique refuge for cyclists: Hotel Petit Sagitario.
The best cycling routes in Menorca combine sea, forest and rural roads steeped in history. Exploring Menorca by bike means travelling along roads; it means delving into an island that holds the best trails that open up under silent pine trees, detours barely marked on the ground, stories that seem to be told only in whispers when you ask the Menorcans about ‘that road that doesn't appear on the maps’.
Camí de Cavalls: la ruta ciclista circular que recorre Menorca
There are cycling routes that seem designed for exertion, with climbs that challenge your legs and descents that get your heart racing. Others invite you to enjoy the silence, to ride slowly as the sea suddenly appears, blue and infinite. Unforgettable. Roads steeped in history, shaped by the horses that once guarded the island.
Uno de esos caminos es el Camí de Cavalls, una antigua ruta de defensa que rodea completamente Menorca. Con sus más de 180 kilómetros divididos en etapas, conecta calas vírgenes, acantilados, zonas boscosas y monumentos milenarios. Hoy, es uno de los mayores atractivos para los amantes del cicloturismo y una forma única de descubrir la isla en estado puro.
Menorca is a prime destination for cycle tourism: coastal roads, inland trails, technical sections for adventurers and slow rides for those who prefer to listen to nature.
Five routes in Menorca that you will cherish in your fondest memories
Punta Nati Lighthouse: A bike ride to the end of the world (Easy)
A road that seems to lead to the end of the world. At sunset, the lighthouse watches silently as the sun disappears behind the sea.
Cap d'Artrutx and south-west coast (Easy-Medium)
Part of the Camí de Cavalls by bike. Coves where you could spend hours and coastal trails that hide barely visible detours.
Macarella and Turqueta by MTB bike (Medium-High)
Not everyone knows the quickest route. Some only find it after asking. But in the end, it's always the same reward: the impossible blue of the most famous coves..
Rural interior: Naveta des Tudons and Ferreries (Medium)
The path crosses silent fields, passing by ancient stones from Talayotic Menorca, a journey wondering what other stories the land hides.
Wild North: Cala Morell and Algaiarens (Medium)
A journey through forests and ravines that leads to unspoilt beaches. Caves, history, sea: all together on a route that seems to take you to the edge of the known world.
And when you return to the hotel at the end of the day on any of these routes, with dust on your shoes and salt on your skin, you will know that you have travelled more than just an island. You will have discovered invisible paths, corners that only reveal themselves to the rhythm of the pedals, and sensations that stay with you long after the trip. Menorca, by bike, is not forgotten. It is kept. It is relived.
"At the Petit Sagitario Hotel, a boutique retreat for cyclists, every route is an invitation to discover the pleasure of what is close by. Would you like to explore that section of the Camí de Cavalls by bike that crosses a dense forest and suddenly opens up into a clearing overlooking the sea? Just ask them. They have maps, tips, and more than a few secrets up their sleeves."

What is the best time of year for cycle touring in Menorca?
Every season has its own charm when it comes to enjoying cycling routes in Menorca, and your choice will depend on your travel style:
- Spring (March–May): Ideal for cyclists looking for mild temperatures, green fields, and flowers in full bloom. It is the best time for long routes and discovering the rural interior of the island without extreme heat.
- Summer (June–August): Perfect if you like to combine beach and cycling. The days are long and bright. It is best to set off early or at sunset to avoid the heat, and take the opportunity to go for a swim in coves such as Turqueta or Algaiarens along the route.
- Autumn (September – November): One of the favourite seasons for more leisurely cycle tourists. The island returns to its slower pace, temperatures are mild again and the sea is still pleasant for swimming. Excellent for those who want to cycle at a leisurely pace.
- Winter (December–February): For experienced cyclists seeking solitude and quiet routes. Although it is windier and there is some rain, the island is almost empty and offers an introspective, authentic and very local experience.
