Historic Santa Ponsa is the perfect summer destination: pristine beaches, blue seas, magnificent golf courses, amusement parks and fascinating archaeological sites.

Take a holiday in Santa Ponsa – the best way to disconnect from the day-to-day routine and recharge your batteries. Santa Ponsa has attractions for all tastes and never ceases to amaze. The town occupies an important place in Spanish history, as King Jaime I landed here to start the conquest of Mallorca.

Santa Ponsa is a very popular beach destination, as can be seen in the wide range of water sports on offer, from relaxed cruises in the bay to water skiing on the waves and parasailing. Golf lovers meanwhile can spend all day playing their favourite sport at the town's excellent courses.

A bargain trip to Santa Ponsa will allow you to enjoy a few days of sports, outdoor activities, rest and good food in an unbeatable environment. The nightlife is another of the town's big attractions. It should come as no surprise that visitors to Santa Ponsa will find a wide variety of leisure options to choose from.

Culture also has its place in this small resort, with interesting historical sites such as the imposing Cruz de la Conquista de Jaime I. This cross-topped monument, built in 1929 to commemorate the seven-hundredth anniversary of the conquest of Mallorca, offers beautiful views of the entire coast. In the Puig de Sa Morisca archaeological park perched atop a hill, you can learn all about the Iron Age Talayotic culture.

If you fly into Mallorca or arrive by boat, it is very easy to get to Santa Ponsa, as there are several bus lines that connect the centre of Palma, the port and the airport with the town. We recommend you take a look at our Santa Ponsa holiday packages that allow you to book the hotel and travel together. Don't wait any longer!

Aside from the stairs, I’d rate this stay as just about excellent. The rooms were clean and spacious, and we enjoyed a lovely balcony with a great sea view. The apartment itself, along with the surrounding Santa Ponsa area, is quite hilly/mountainous. The only real drawback was the stairs — they ...
