Santa Ponsa Holidays

Santa Ponsa, Mallorca Resort: 40 Years And Still Booming With Tourists

Located 18 kilometers [11 miles] West of Palma, the capital city of Calvià, Santa Ponsa, Majorca has been a holiday hot-spot for travelers for 40 years and counting. Although there are few high rises anywhere on this part of the island, there is no shortage of cozy, welcoming villas available along the hilly countryside, and more are currently being built.

Santa Ponsa Accommodation

Plentiful accommodations are not the only draw. The Santa Ponsa climate could be what attracts so many visitors-primarily from the UK-annually. With temperatures ranging from 13ºC [55ºF] in January to 28º[82ºF] in July and August. Then again, when one considers that the average days per month with some rainfall peak at 14 in January and December, and that number reduces to a three month average of 5 days of rain in June, July, and August, it's easy to see why Santa Ponsa has been, and still is such a popular vacation destination.

Santa Ponsa Beach

Spending time at Santa Ponsa's beach, Blue Flag, is what most tourists consider to be the biggest attraction. This isn't all that surprising with its widespread, soft, luxurious, golden sand that lines the clear blue waters of the Balearic Sea. To ensure the safety of swimmers, here's a roped off swimming area that separates swimmers from any watercraft traffic.

Sun beds and parasols are available for rent for when beach-goers just want to lounge and relax. For those who want to play in/on the water, there are jet skis for the adventurous types, and pedaloes for those wanting a more casual ride. And of course, who could resist an opportunity to SCUBA with the fishes in the majestic, clear blue waters Santa Ponsa, Mallorca Resort is nestled in?

Port Adriano Marina

The Port Adriano Marina, located 3 km South from the Santa Ponsa, is a super-luxury, yacht harbor that has berths for 6 to 100 meter [20ft to 328ft] long boats. The marina also has shops, restaurants, bars, and like the Santa Ponsa Resort, has an assortment of watersports for fun in/on the water.

Of course guests of the Santa Ponsa can't spend all day and night at the beach, right? Well maybe some could, but for those who want to enjoy more than the sand and waters, there are plenty of events happening in nearby Palma.

Santa Ponsa Shopping

Shopping at the Olivar Market, perhaps. Or there's the Organic Produce Market, located in the city center of Palma, that offers the best in local, organic produce on Tuesdays and Saturdays, between 8:00 am and 2:00 pm.

Santa Ponsa Resort guests can also catch a Jazz concert, or a Folk Music Festival with talented musicians from the UK and Ireland. For those who prefer the performing arts, there is an Opera season at the Theatre Principal in Palma. Theater, Dance, Musicals, and more are performed at this venue, so it's safe to say there's something for every lover of the arts in Palma, Majorca, Spain.

For 40 years the Santa Ponsa Resort has been a favorite holiday spot. Can you now see why?
