The 5* Kempinski Hotel Bahia in Estepona is the first hotel to be presented with the official Bicycle and Sleep plaque which recognises that the hotel complies with all the requisites for this new cycle tourism scheme and provides an excellent base for cyclists exploring the region.
The hotel is particularly suitable for cyclists with room dedicated to store and repair bikes, a menu specifically designed for sports people, a spa with sports massages, steam room and sauna and state-of-the-art Fitness Centre.
Estepona is a paradise for cyclists, with wonderful parks, trails, mountains and a long seafront promenade, which are all great to be explored on bike. There are 25 cycling routes passing through Estepona as part of the new Bicycle Sleep initiative, as well as great accommodation and facilities for bikers and 9 routes which can be followed as part of Natural Estepona.
From Estepona there are routes up to the stunning white village of Casares, a moderate route which takes just over two hours, and circular four hour routes to the beautiful village of Benahavis. There is a route to Puerto Banus via archaeological ruins and a 43.3 kilometre ride from Estepona to Gibraltar along the coast. There are mountain bike routes, road routes and those which are suitable for families, and they are clearly marked in terms of their difficulty.
