The signature ride through Ibiza's protected Es Amunts nature reserve along the rugged northern coast.

Constant elevation changes with short, punchy climbs and sweeping descents make this a true test of endurance.

"Start early (before 9am) to enjoy the quiet roads. Stop at the tiny village of Sant Mateu d'Albarca for a coffee—the church square has a charming café with views over the valley."
Pro Tip
This is the route that showcases Ibiza's wild side. Combine with a swim at one of the hidden northern coves for the full experience.

A spectacular ride to Ibiza's northernmost point. The road clings to dramatic cliffs with vertiginous drops to turquoise waters. The lighthouse at the end marks the meeting point of the Mediterranean and the Balearic Sea.
Insider Tip
"In summer (June-September), the road closes to private vehicles 10am-7pm. Cyclists are always allowed. This actually makes it the best time to ride—car-free paradise."
Pro Tip
Stop at Mirador Es Colomer for photos. The viewpoint has a café with the best views on the island.

The ultimate Ibiza cycling challenge. This grand loop takes you to the island's highest peak, Sa Talaiassa (475m), then sweeps through the rural interior via Santa Gertrudis, down to Sant Antoni's coast, and back through the pine-clad hills of Sant Josep. Multiple climbs and relentless rolling terrain.
Insider Tip
"Carry extra water—there are few refill points in the rural interior. The climb to Sa Talaiassa from Sant Josep starts gently but kicks up steeply in the final 2km."
Pro Tip
This is a full-day ride. Start at sunrise and plan for 4-6 hours in the saddle. The views from Sa Talaiassa on a clear day extend to Mallorca.
