How many riders will be on the camp?

We keep things tight and friendly—just 11 riders per camp. That way it feels like a team, not a tour bus.

How do I book a place on the camp?

Super simple! Just message us through our website or on WhatsApp. We’ll guide you through everything, quick and easy.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Yes, a €300 deposit locks in your spot. It’s non-refundable, but it guarantees your place on the team.

When is the full payment due?

The full balance is due two months before camp starts. If you book last-minute, we’ll ask for the full amount upfront.

Can I cancel or change my booking?

Life happens, we get it. Cancel more than two months out and you’ll just lose the deposit. Less than that? We’ll try our best to fill your spot and refund you (minus admin costs). If we can’t, we can’t refund, but we’ll still do our best.

What’s included in the price?

Loads: airport transfers, the villa, chef-cooked meals, six incredible rides, carbon bike rental, coaching, massages, recovery tools, cycling kit, and all the bars and gels you’ll need on the road.

What’s not included?

Flights, travel insurance, and anything you personally decide to buy outside the camp.

Do I need to be part of a club to join?

Not at all. Most of our guests come solo. This camp is about the love of the ride and the people you meet along the way.

Can I come alone?

Absolutely! A lot of our riders show up solo. You’ll leave with a bunch of new friends and riding buddies.

Accommodation

Where will I be staying?

What amenities are there?

We’ve got it all—pool, terraces, stretching zone, chef’s kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, laundry service, and relaxing social spaces.

Is the Wi-Fi good?

Yes. Stream, upload, chill—whatever you need, we’ve got the bandwidth.

What if I have dietary needs?

Just let us know in advance and our chef will take care of it—vegan, gluten-free, whatever you need.

Can I bring a non-cycling partner?

To keep the focus and flow of the camp, we only host riders during the week. No +1s, but you’ll be too busy having fun anyway.

Riding & Fitness

How fit do I need to be?

You should be able to handle 90–120 km per day with some climbing. If you ride 3–4 times a week and love a challenge, you’ll fit right in.

What kind of terrain is it?

A glorious mix: mountains, rolling countryside, some flat sections, and views for days.

How far will we ride each day?

Anywhere from 80 to 120 km. Every ride is fully supported and planned to challenge you—without breaking you.

What if I can’t keep up?

You’ll never be left behind. We ride as a team. Stronger riders might get bonus efforts or drills to stay challenged while everyone else regroups

Will I get dropped on climbs?

Nope. We all climb at our own pace and meet at the top. And trust us, the vibe and support will help you go further than you think.

Are there any rest days?

We build in lighter days, like a café ride mid-week. Plus, afternoons are free for stretching, naps, or pool hangs.

What happens if I get a flat or mechanical issue?

Our support van is always close by with tools, parts, and a friendly mechanic. No stress, no spares in your jersey pockets.

What if I crash or get hurt?

Safety is our top priority. Our van has first aid gear and we’re never far from emergency services. But with good group riding habits, issues are rare.

Food & Fuel

Are meals included?

Yes! You’ll get breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all on-the-bike nutrition. Our chef keeps you fuelled and happy.

What do I eat during the ride?

We’ve got you covered with bars, bananas, gels, and drinks from the support van. No need to pack your own snacks.

Do you include hydration and electrolytes?

Yep. Electrolytes, recovery drinks, and hydration tabs are part of the deal.

Travel & Transfers

How do I get to the villa from the airport?

Our Velocamp van will be waiting for you at Palma airport. No taxis, no stress—just pro-level arrival vibes.

What if I arrive late?

We run two main shuttles. If you’re landing after 7:30pm or leaving before 8:30am, we’ll still get you there—for a small €50 fee.

When should I book my return flight?

Midday or early afternoon works great—enough time to enjoy breakfast, say goodbye, and head out.

Will you handle my luggage?

Of course. We’ve got space in the van and we’ll handle the load-in and out.

Bikes & Gear

Should I bring my own bike?

You can, but our rental bikes are amazing—carbon frames, electronic shifting, power meters. Ready to roll with zero hassle.

What kind of bikes do you provide?

Top-tier carbon road bikes with electronic gears and power meters. Light, fast, and dialled in.

Do the bikes have power meters?

Yes. You’ll have full data from every ride.

Can I bring my own pedals or saddle?

Definitely. Bring your pedals and shoes. If you’ve got a saddle you love, bring that too—we’ll set it up for you.

Will you set up the bike for me?

Yes. Send us your fit details beforehand and we’ll make sure your bike is perfect when you arrive.

Is there a mechanic on site?

Yes. Daily tweaks, emergency fixes, and bike love included.
