Motorcycle Rentals on Mallorca island, Spain - All locations

Picture the road north out of Palma opening up into the Tramuntana mountains, the sea flashing between pine trees as the tarmac starts to curl. This is why riders come to Mallorca: the run out to Cap de Formentor, the hairpin drop into Sa Calobra, a coffee stop in Port de Sóller with the harbour spread out below. You can rent a motorcycle in Palma de Mallorca and have all of it on your own schedule, without waiting on a tour bus or a rental car full of nervous first-timers.

The island is built for two wheels. Distances are short — end to end, Mallorca is barely 100 km — so the north coast, the mountains and the beaches are all realistic day trips from Palma. The Tramuntana roads themselves are narrow and twisting, and in high season they clog with rental cars and cyclists crawling the switchbacks; a bike slips past all of that and parks for free in villages where car spaces vanish by mid-morning. It's terrain that rewards agility over horsepower, which makes a scooter or a nimble motorcycle the natural choice here.

Top 10 things to see in Palma de Mallorca by motorcycle

1. Cap de Formentor — the island's signature ride, a cliffside road of hairpins leading to a lighthouse at Mallorca's northern tip, with the Mirador Es Colomer viewpoint along the way.
2. Sa Calobra (Coll dels Reis road) — a tight switchback descent from the Tramuntana ridge to a cove beach, and one of the most celebrated motorcycle roads in Europe.
3. Serra de Tramuntana — the UNESCO-listed mountain range that gives the island its best curves, linking villages like Sóller, Deià and Valldemossa.
4. Deià — a cliffside artists' village on the coast road, worth a stop for the views and the cove of Cala Deià below.
5. Valldemossa — a stone-built hillside town on the same route, known for its monastery and narrow streets.
6. Port de Sóller — a harbour town reached via the winding Coll de Sóller pass, a favourite spot to pull over for a coffee.
7. Mirador de Ses Barques — a viewpoint above Sóller with wide views over the bay, a natural photo stop on the way from Palma.
8. Coves del Drach, Porto Cristo — underground lakes on the east coast, a good target for a longer day ride across the island.
9. Es Trenc — a wide, white-sand beach in the south, and a scenic ride away from the mountain roads.
10. Santuari de Sant Salvador, near Felanitx — a hilltop sanctuary with a winding approach and panoramic views over the southeast of the island.

What do you need to rent a motorcycle in Palma de Mallorca?

For anything up to 125cc you'll need an A1 licence; larger machines call for A2 or A depending on power. Spanish or EU licences are accepted as issued, but if yours was issued outside the EU, bring an International Driving Permit along with your home licence — rental desks routinely ask for it. Most operators set their own minimum age, usually 18 or 21 depending on the bike, and will block a deposit on your credit card. Helmets are compulsory for rider and passenger alike, on every road, at all times.

How much does it cost to rent a motorcycle in Palma de Mallorca?

Expect around 20-30 EUR per day for a scooter or small bike in low season, rising to 40-70+ EUR in high season. Larger displacement machines and touring motorcycles can run 60-100+ EUR per day at the peak.

• Prices climb steadily from spring, peaking in July and August.
• They ease off again through autumn, bottoming out in winter.

When to book a rental motorcycle in Palma de Mallorca?

If you want good riding conditions without the crowds or the top prices, May-June and September-October are the sweet spot.
