Where do the bikes go?

Locked away out of sight, with a covered workshop room between beach and pool for maintenance.

Is the pool heated in winter?

Yes — the saltwater pool is heated in the mid and low season, on request.

Is there space for a soigneur?

The covered workshop room between beach and pool doubles as a massage space.

Can we book one wing only?

No. The estate is let as a whole, to one group at a time.

Winter training

The winter roads the professionals use.

Every winter the WorldTour moves to this coast. Rates and Cumbre del Sol are on the doorstep, ten routes are signposted from the gate, and the whole estate is yours alone.

Why here

Why the peloton comes back every winter.

Quiet, well-surfaced inland roads and a coast road that is easy to avoid. Not one kilometre here is truly flat — and in February 2026 the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana crossed Rates and El Miserat.
