What this base is for
s'Arenal de Llucmajor is the shortest transfer of the 18 bases here — 9 km of driving from the terminal, against 9 km to Palma. If the trip is short and the first ride matters, that is hours rather than minutes. The one to plan a day around is Coll d'Honor: 343 m gained over 6.1 km at 5.6%, with 25.5 km of road between the town and the foot of it. The riding here has one character rather than several: 67% of the height within reach stands in the Serra de Tramuntana. And if the week is about the climbing and nothing else, the nearest town that beats it is Valldemossa, 30 km away by road: 40 climb-sides within 30 km against 25 here, 1.6 times the choice for an hour in a car.
What starts here
Every published climb-side whose foot is within 30 km of s'Arenal de Llucmajor by road, nearest first. The distance is the approach — what you cover before the gradient starts — over the shortest ridable road, which is rarely the road you would pick.

How we got this Dijkstra over the same OpenStreetMap road graph the routes engine uses — no motorway, because a bicycle may not ride a Mallorcan autopista; cycleways in; ways tagged access=private, no, customers or permit dropped before routing. It is the approach ride to where the gradient starts, not a route recommendation: the shortest path between two points is rarely the road you would choose. Distances are to the climb’s foot as the climb measurements record it.Computed from the shortest ridable road distance from each town’s OpenStreetMap place node to the foot of every one of the 122 measured climb-sides, joined to the 75 this site publishes.Computed 6 August 2026.
Five more stand between 30 km and 50 km, which is a drive or a long morning rather than a warm-up.
Signed routes from here

How we got this No new measurement, and deliberately none: a route is entered only through a town that is both one of its own waypoints and one of the towns a road network was measured from, so every distance here is a road metre-count that already existed and every “runs through” is an identity between two node ids with no distance in it. Matching on ids has one blind spot and it is handled rather than lived with: a settlement mapped under two nodes reads as absent, so where that happens — s’Arenal is mapped twice, once either side of the Palma/Llucmajor boundary — the second node is admitted only after both records have been read and the reasoning written down. The cost is stated rather than hidden — a route is reached through the nearest measured town on it, which is never closer than the true way on and may be further, and that town is named beside the figure.Computed from the sixteen signed cicloturisme routes’ own place waypoints, matched by OpenStreetMap node id against the 30 km road table this cluster already holds.Computed 6 August 2026.
What the riding is made of
The climbs within reach of s'Arenal de Llucmajor are spread across three comarques, and the shares matter more than the count — they are what decides whether a week here is mountains with a flat day or the other way round.
- Serra de Tramuntana 67% · 3,613 m
- Palma 20% · 1,078 m
- Pla de Mallorca 13% · 685 m
Getting here
9 km of driving from the terminals at Palma airport by the quickest route — a distance, measured the same way for every base on this site, and not a journey time. A bike box does not fit in every hire car, and the road out of the airport is the one place on Mallorca where that becomes your problem rather than the airline's.
If the plan includes climbs beyond a comfortable spin, compare Mallorca car hire.
If it does not, a fixed-price transfer with a bike box declared up front is the simpler answer: book an airport transfer.
How we got this a second road graph, built for this measurement alone: motorway and its slip roads included, cycleways excluded, the bicycle access filter off — because a rider arrives by taxi or hire car and the shortest ridable path is not that journey. Edges are weighted by the posted maxspeed where OpenStreetMap has one and by road class where it does not, so the route is the one a driver takes rather than the shortest line. It is a distance, not a journey time: nothing here models traffic.Computed from the length of the quickest driving route from the terminal buildings at Palma airport to each town’s OpenStreetMap place node.Computed 6 August 2026.
Where to stay
The island's own register licenses 37 establishments within 2 km of the centre of s'Arenal de Llucmajor, between them 8,805 bed places, the largest of them 810 on its own. A further four the register files here carry no coordinate to place them by, so they are outside that count. The search below is for this town, not for the island.
