Santa Ponsa ... which, like Santa Ponsa II, has hosted a PGA European Tour event. / Located 30 km from Palma on Majorca's southwest coast, Santa Ponsa has grown in and around a wide and deeply recessed bay, edged by pines and sun-bleached sands. The main beach, with its large expanse of white sands, is popular with both holidaymakers and locals, but there is a smaller, quieter beach to the south. Many watersports are available, as are tennis, bicycle hire and golf. Santa Ponsa achieves a good balance between both beach and nightlife. Discos, clubs and bars, particularly Irish bars with live music, provide a fun atmosphere in Santa Ponsa, with dozens of restaurants. There are also good facilities for self catering stays.

Newest Review: ... the family to sit and relax and unwind after a lazy day at the beach. If you don't want the bright lights of the Irish quarter of Santa Ponsa, then i would recommend the Rey Don Jamie Hotel, just off the main beach road. Santa Ponsa is not a huge place so it has a lovely quaint feeling about it but parts of it come to life in the evening and cater for all tastes. The beach, with its ... more

I have had the pleasure of visiting Santa Ponsa on no less than 6 occassions over a 15 year period, and it has to be one of my favourite places in Mallorca. Only about 40 mins from the airport, it is to the South of the Island, about 15 mins from Magalluf, but far enough away from the rowdiness. Santa Ponsa nestles around the beautiful beach in a horse shoe shape and is wonderful for families and couples. The left side of the bay is quieter than the right, with scatterings of restaurants and a few good british pubs and the right side has an Irish theme to it, with lots of bars, a club or two and plenty of shops and restaurants. Take a 10 minute walk up to ... Read the complete review

Santa Ponsa and its neighbouring resorts of Palma Nova and Magaluf are part of the district of Calvia, and lies on the south west coast of Majorca/Mallorca. The resort is just 12 miles from the airport so its a nice easy transfer to your hotel. Santa Ponsa has a fantatic public transport link - with plenty of buses running through the town all day every day and you can get pretty much anywhere for a small charge. Santa Ponsa has as more celtic theme to many of the pubs, bars and restaurants - and the british tourism are more than welcomed here also. If you like comediens and karoke etc then this is a great resort for you, and more Irish & Scottish bars ... Read the complete review
