Our interest in sport is not confined to just providing the best facilities for athletes staying at our hotels. Zafiro Hotels also support and sponsor many competitions as well as providing facilities to competition organisers for hosting different events.
Among all the sports activities, the one that stands out most for its toughness is Ironman 70.3 Alcudia Mallorca, one of the most demanding Triathlon events. Alcudia has been honoured to host this event in recent years thanks to its excellent location and climate, making it an ideal destination for the three sports in the event: swimming, cycling and running.

Whether you travel to Mallorca with your bike or if you plan to hire one in your destination so you can enjoy the Mallorcan scenery on two wheels, the Zafiro Palace Alcudia offers the best services to keep your bike in top condition.
From 2018, the Zafiro Palace Alcudia provides a heated outdoor swimming pool which in low season offers four lanes for swimmers and triathletes.
But it’s not all about training ... Four à la carte restaurants and one buffet cater the needs of all types of diet.
After training, athletes can relax in our Zen, Spa & Wellness Centre, which provides treatments specifically designed for muscle recovery.

It’s always a good idea to arrive a couple of days before the event to check out the area and weather.
The day before the event, check that everything you need is in perfect condition to help avoid surprises.
Rest between 3 and 5 days before the competition and, of course, sleep well the night before.

For long-distance competitions, use Vaseline on areas where there may be friction, such as on your feet to avoid blisters or under your armpits.
After you cross the finish line, hydrate, eat and stretch.
