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.

Are there any bike routes in Menorca for beginners?

Where can I rent a bicycle?

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.
