2026 is our 5th year of travelling and no where has been so important to our progression as the Oliva Nova Beach Resort. It was the site of our first ever group trip and subsequently our most popular and visited destination.

​

The Costa Blanca region is a hive of cycling activity in December, with many of the worlds best cyclists descending on the region for their first winter team camps. It is not uncommon to find yourself in the middle of a world tour team as they rack up their winter miles and begin their preparation for the next season.

​

Whilst there are no guarantees - it is very possible that we will be sharing our hotel with a world tour team or two. This year the Oliva Nova Resort played host to Ineos Grenadiers and Visma LAB mens teams. It was a real privilege to be around these teams and we hope (though cannot guarantee they will be there) to have the same experience again.

​

When on this trip our rides vary between 85km and 110km each day with between 1200m and 2000m of climbing. We will ride at a steady pace and the focus is very much on accumulating miles rather than any efforts. We stop for a coffee and have a lunch stop nearer the end of the ride.

​

Guests are able to use the swimming facilities at the hotel and watch the Mediterranean Equestrian Tour which also takes place at the hotel. Finally, we can also organise use of the Padel Courts or a round of golf should that be of interest to the group.
