Secure bike storage

A closed storage area so your bike sleeps safely. We recommend bringing your own U-lock or heavy-duty chain for added peace of mind during rides around the island.

Basic workshop & pre-ride tune-up

Workbench, essential tools, floor pump and gauges. Perfect for micro-adjustments before heading out and express maintenance after the route. For advanced mechanics, we’ll point you to trusted local partners.

Bike wash area

After dust, salt spray or mud, use the wash area and leave your bike ready for the next day. Tip: dry and lube the chain with a marine-friendly product.

Suggested routes from Cala Santandria

Adjust time and difficulty to your fitness and the day’s wind direction. As a rule of thumb, keep the most exposed stretch for the outbound leg and ride back with a tailwind for a comfortable finish.

Easy coastal itinerary

Gentle riding along rideable Camí de Cavalls sections in the southwest, with views of coves and cliffs. Ideal as a first-day warm-up.

Lighthouse + Menorcan inland

Link nearby lighthouses via quiet secondary roads and return through country lanes lined with sandstone and fields. Agricultural landscapes, silence and Menorca at its most authentic.

Technical MTB with “cavalls” flavour

Irregular surfaces, rocky passages, short ramps and sections to work on line choice. Great to refine technique and build power without straying far from the hotel.

Recovery & wellbeing after your ride

Recovery is part of the plan. Our team helps you coordinate a sports massage, halotherapy and hydrotherapy circuits at our spas. Alternate cold/hot water for lighter legs, add zero-km produce (PDO Mahón-Menorca cheeses, vegetables and meats from our farms) and prioritise great sleep: sleep well, pedal better the next day.

Quick bike-touring tips for Menorca

  • Hydration: dry climate; plan water stops and electrolytes for longer rides.
  • Shade & breaks: mix coast/inland; avoid peak sun in hot spells.
  • Respect the environment: Menorca is a Biosphere Reserve; stay on paths, close Menorcan gates and take your litter with you.
  • Mechanicals: carry a multi-tool, plugs/tubes and lights for sunsets.
  • Plan B: share your track and let reception know your estimated route.
