Great getaways: From cycling in Provence to a week in Mallorca

PEDAL POWER

If you're keen to take a cycling holiday this summer, where better than Provence? The region's gentle slopes provide ideal terrain for any two-wheeled traveller. Utracks has one week-long option that departs and ends in Graveson, with stops in Tarascon, Arles and St-Rémy for £795pp. Bike hire, hotels, most meals and luggage transfers included, with departures until 31 October, but not flights (utracks.com).

SPLASH OUT

The Malaysian island of Langkawi offers a slice of luxury in the Andaman Sea. For travel between 1 May and 17 July, Turquoise Holidays has a 10-night trip to The Datai – a 125-room retreat, surrounded by tropical forest, with a pool, private beach and golf course. The price of £2,120pp includes breakfast, Malaysian Airlines flights from Heathrow and private transfers (turquoiseholidays.co.uk).
