Hire a Harley and discover the Costa del Sol

13th February 2009 Print
Do lazy days lounging by the pool leave you yearning for some fast-paced excitement? Action-loving guests at the Kempinski Hotel Bahía Estepona can hire one of a selection of top of the range Harley-Davidson motorcycles for some adrenaline-pumping fun – what better way to discover the sunny Costa del Sol and beyond?

The five star Kempinski Hotel Bahía Estepona provides Harley-Davidson motorcycle rental on request for one full day or longer – giving our guests the opportunity to command the breathtaking roads in our region. The fleet comprises a selection of models, including the V-Rod, Road King, Heritage Softail Classic, Fat Boy and Softail Deuce models.

The hotel concierge can advise on the best routes for bikers – a favourite is to travel the curving, scenic route to Ronda, which is about a 50-minute drive from the hotel, perched on top of a steep hill with amazing panoramic views along the way. Ronda is famous for its bullfights and its romantic past of highway banditry that fascinated Hemingway and Rilke. Visit the oldest bullring in Spain and travel across Ronda’s famous ancient bridge which stretches over a breathtaking canyon.

Once you have found a suitably scenic resting place, dismount and enjoy a picnic packed by the hotel’s chefs – expect an Iberian charcuterie board, delicious manchego cheese, home-made breads, and a chilled beer - alcohol free of course!

Motorcycle and helmets are provided – all drivers should be 25 years of age or above, already know how to ride a motorcycle and must have an appropriate licence. The bikes can be booked for one day or more, and for groups of up to 8 individuals – so rally up your friends and take to the roads en-masse!

Harley-Davidson hire costs 185 Euros per day, for two people, with a distance limit of 200km. This price includes VAT, third party insurance, two helmets, sidebags for storage and locks. Guests should book a minimum of 2 days in advance to ensure their planned riding day is available. Bikers must be 25 years of age or over and have a valid large motorcycle licence. Picnics can be prepared by the hotel for bikers on-request.

Other activities for adrenaline-seekers at the Kempinski Hotel Bahía Estepona include jet skiing, water skiing, and Ferrari or Lamborghini rental.
