All year round, Mojácar welcomes professional and amateur cyclists looking for something very specific: consistent training conditions, varied routes and an environment that encourages sporting focus — especially during the winter months, when much of Europe faces harsh weather and the coast of Almería becomes an oasis of sunshine and pleasantly mild temperatures.
In recent years, Mojácar has gone one step further and established itself as one of Europe’s strategic cycling hubs, becoming the ideal base for cycling teams from around the world during the winter season.
Mojácar offers something that is not always easy to find: genuine variety of landscapes and routes within just a few kilometres. From coastal rides along the Mediterranean to inland mountain roads in the province of Almería, cyclists can design diverse training sessions without the need for long transfers.
This seamless transition between coast and mountains allows riders to work on endurance, elevation gain and pace changes without changing location. In addition, the tranquillity of many roads and the wide-open horizons make every ride smooth, safe and enjoyable.

When a destination repeatedly appears in professional team calendars, it is no coincidence. In recent years, Mojácar has strengthened its presence in the international training camp circuit.
Teams such as Team Caja Rural-RGA have selected the area for their pre-season training camps, including the December 2025 stage with riders like Joan Bou and Jaume Guardeño. The professional team Team Novo Nordisk and the squad Polti-VisitMalta have also fine-tuned their preparation here ahead of the season.
On an individual level, international cycling figures such as Alberto Contador, the only Spanish rider to win all three Grand Tours, have trained on these roads, reinforcing Mojácar’s reputation within the professional peloton.
The combination of mild climate, varied terrain profiles and low-traffic roads remains the key attraction. It is therefore no surprise that Belgian national teams and professional cyclists return season after season, particularly valuing the road surface quality and peaceful training environment.
This long-standing relationship with Belgium has led to one of the most significant milestones in Mojácar’s evolution as a cycling destination.
One of the clearest indicators of Mojácar’s consolidation as a cycling destination is its close link with Belgium, a country with one of the strongest cycling traditions in the world.
The Belgian Cycling Federation has recognised Hotel Servigroup Marina Playa as its Official Headquarters in Spain. This distinction places Mojácar within the federation’s regular preparation circuit and strengthens its international positioning as a specialised cycling enclave.
This institutional relationship is complemented by the continued presence of groups organised by Kortweg Cycling Travel, a Belgian agency specialising in cycling holidays that selects Mojácar as its seasonal base. Their ongoing commitment confirms the Belgian market’s confidence in the destination’s quality and experience in organising cycling camps.
In Mojácar’s development as a cycling destination, Hotel Servigroup Marina Playa has played a key role, becoming a benchmark for professional teams and cycling groups from across Europe.
The hotel’s experience working with international sports structures has allowed it to adapt to cyclists’ real needs. It is not simply accommodation — it is a comfortable and well-organised base where every detail is designed to facilitate athletes’ stays.
Facilities include secure bike storage areas and dedicated spaces where teams can efficiently manage logistics. There are also meeting rooms ideal for technical briefings, stage analysis and group sessions.
Nutrition is another highly valued aspect. Meal times are adapted to training schedules, and personalised menus are provided according to nutritional requirements and sports diets — essential during training camps and pre-season stages.
After training, the hotel offers recovery and wellness facilities, including its Spa & Wellness area and heated swimming pool, designed to support rest and muscle recovery.
Combined with its strategic location in Mojácar Playa and years of experience hosting international teams, Hotel Marina Playa has become a leading reference for cycling tourism in southern Spain.
In summary, if you are planning a different kind of cycling getaway, preparing for the season, or simply looking to enjoy a few days of training by the sea, Mojácar is a safe and reliable choice.
Hotel Servigroup Marina Playa has become a reference point for cyclists seeking comfort, prime location and expertise in sports tourism — without complications.
