Summer may be coming to an end, but outdoor life in Mallorca continues. Autumn still brings plenty of pleasant days to stroll along the coast, enjoy the sunshine and spend time by the beach. At the same time, it marks the beginning of one of the best seasons to discover the island in a more active way. With milder temperatures and less intense heat than in the height of summer, walking, cycling and running become excellent ways to explore Mallorca’s landscapes.
For those looking for a hotel for athletes in Mallorca, Paguera is an especially convenient starting point. The town is close to the sea, rural trails, coastal roads and the Serra de Tramuntana. Staying at a hotel in Paguera makes it easy to combine different activities during the same trip.
Paguera on Two Wheels
Mallorca is one of the favourite destinations for cycling enthusiasts. Within the island, the municipality of Calvià offers routes suitable for a wide range of abilities. There are relatively gentle routes combining coastal and inland scenery, as well as more demanding rides with climbs and mountain passes for experienced cyclists.
One of the routes suggested by Visit Calvià, for example, covers 34.5 kilometres and passes through Santa Ponça, Palmanova, Calvià, Es Capdellà and Peguera. Other routes venture into more mountainous areas, offering the chance to discover landscapes around places such as Galilea or take on climbs such as the Coll de Sa Creu.
Hotel Don Carlos is an ideal starting point for a cycling holiday. As a hotel for cyclists in Mallorca, it offers secure parking for up to 12 bicycles, an area for cleaning and minor adjustments, and a bicycle rental service. Everything you need to set off on your bike in the morning and return directly to the hotel after completing your route.
Hiking Between the Sea and the Serra de Tramuntana
Autumn is also an ideal time to discover Mallorca and the Calvià region on foot. Its network of trails offers a choice of different distances and difficulty levels, taking you through Mediterranean landscapes and areas connected to the Serra de Tramuntana.
From Peguera, for example, the PR-MA 1 trail leads towards Es Capdellà. Elsewhere in the municipality, there are numerous hiking routes, including those at the Galatzó Public Estate, which are ideal for combining nature, heritage and physical activity.
For guests who prefer to leave the planning to someone else, Hotel Don Carlos also offers the opportunity to book organised excursions and tours to discover other parts of Mallorca.
October, the Month of Challenge Peguera Mallorca
Paguera’s sporting spirit reaches one of its highlights in October. On 17 October 2026, a new edition of Challenge Peguera Mallorca takes place, a middle-distance triathlon combining a 1.9-kilometre swim, a 90-kilometre bike ride and a 21.1-kilometre run.
For several days, Paguera becomes a meeting point for athletes and sports enthusiasts, with a range of activities, races and a lively atmosphere centred around sport. The course takes in Torà Beach, roads throughout the municipality of Calvià, the boulevard and Paguera’s seafront promenades.
Start the Day with Energy and End It at Your Own Pace
Anyone who enjoys an active lifestyle knows the importance of a good night’s rest and a convenient location. Hotel Don Carlos, just 350 metres from the beach, makes it easy to combine physical activity, the sea and relaxation.
The day can start with its buffet breakfast in Paguera, featuring continental and Mallorcan options, sweet and savoury choices, as well as vegetarian and vegan alternatives. A great way to fuel up before heading out for the day.
And when you return after an active day outdoors, it is time to slow down. Take a break by the pool, enjoy a workout at the gym or simply relax in one of the comfortable rooms, each with a balcony or terrace.
Autumn in Mallorca does not mean the end of the season for those who love the outdoors. In many ways, it is precisely when one of the best times of year to get active begins.
