Santa Ponsa

The lively holiday resort of Santa Ponsa is situated on the south-west coast of Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands. Situated just 20 kilometres west of the capital Palma and the airport.

About town
Although not quite in the league of the neighbouring towns of Magaluf and Palma Nova, Santa Ponsa is still an extremely well equipped and lively town with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants and heaps of facilities and amenities for holidaymakers.

There is an abundance of bars and restaurants, which provide a lively evening’s entertainment for families, friends and couples. As the resort caters very much for foreign visitors, especially British, there are lots of international restaurants and many of the shops also stock British brand foods.

Beaches
The main beach at Santa Ponsa, Platja de Santa Ponsa, is a lovely sandy stretch, set in a pretty bay and backed by trees. The beach is easily accessible from the town, but can get very busy. The waters are generally calm and safe for families with small children, although care should always be taken when the flag system is showing a stronger current.

If you want to get away from the crowds, there is a second smaller beach, set in a sheltered cove.

You can take a boat trip from the main beach and Santa Ponsa Marina, visiting the attractive south-west coast of Mallorca. There are also good water sports facilities available on the main beach.
