1. santa ponsa is a huge resort |things to do in santa ponsa mallorca in 2024.

The first of the 23 great reasons to visit Santa Ponsa in Mallorca is that this is a huge resort.

It stretches over an area of 10km sq, so don’t expect to walk around the entire resort in just a few minutes.

In fact, when I visit Santa Ponsa to make vlogs for my Youtube channel, I usually select one area of the resort to film in.

The advantage to this is that if you choose to book a holiday to Santa Ponsa, then check the location of your hotel and where you are in relation to the beach, bars and restaurants.

2. Santa Ponsa Beach Mallorca|Things to do in Santa Ponsa Mallorca in 2024

The main 500-metre-wide beach features wonderful golden sands in Santa Ponsa.

The sand is golden and fine and the water is shallow making this perfect for families visiting during the Summer months.

And because the beach runs quite deep, it never gets really busy over the summer months, meaning that you will always find space on the sand.

This is also one of the most unique resort beaches on the island since half of the beach is lined by pine trees which offer wonderful shade from the hot summer sun.

There is also a great park area with walkways to the centre of the main resort too which runs behind the breach

The beach shelves gently into the sea too which makes this ideal for families visiting and is split into two sections by a river, the Barranc des Cohans which normally runs dry unless there has been a lot of rain on the island.

What’s more, there are several hotels and restaurants within easy walking distance of the beach, with the most prominent being the H10 Casa del Mar hotel right on Santa Ponsa seafront.

3. Caló d’en Pellicer beach|Things to do in Santa Ponsa Mallorca in 2024

Explore the coast away from the main beach in Santa Ponsa to find some quiet coves, seaside platforms and rocky coastlines.

This is one of my favourite 23 reasons to visit Santa Ponsa in Mallorca. Visitors are not limited to the main beach!

If you’re looking for a different beach experience, head to Caló d’en Pellicer beach which can be found by following the road Gran Via de la Creu just off the main road Avinguda del Rei Jaume I.

You will pass through a residential neighbourhood and some lovely villas to find this quiet beach.

The beach is shaded by pine trees, the waters are calm and there are a couple of restaurants nearby too so you could easily spend the day there.

Plus there is a lovely little kids’ play park.

Because this beach attracts residents during the summer months at the weekends, I would advise visiting on a weekday.

But before this, explore the rocky coastlines which are also excellent for snorkelling. You will find this East side of the coastline to be shaded in the mornings over the hot summer months too.

Getting to Caló d’en Pellicer beach:

There are two TIB buses you can take.

The 103 TIB bus from Palma. You can find the timetable here .

And the 123 bus which follows the coast here .

4. Why Santa Ponsa popular with Celtic visitors |Things to do in Santa Ponsa Mallorca in 2024

In the same way that you would find Palmanova and Magaluf to be popular with British visitors, and El Arenal and Can Pastilla to be a magnet for German holidaymakers, you will also find Celtic visitors booking to Santa Ponsa.

The main reason for this is that there is an excellent selection of Scottish and Irish bars in the resort.

As well as the bars that run all the way through Santa Ponsa resort, the very popular Mrs Murphy’s Kitchen, in the centre of the resort serves traditional Irish food which has been given four-star Trip Advisor reviews . Check it out!

It is also one of the main areas on the island to celebrate St Patrick’s day, which you can see here on Youtube .

5. Things to Do in Santa Ponsa on the water |Things to do in Santa Ponsa Mallorca in 2024

During the Summer, you can rent pedalos from the main beach here in Santa Ponsa which in 2022 cost around 16€ for an hour. Stand-up paddleboards are also available for 11€ an hour.

There are also boat trips to enjoy from Santa Ponsa, and the absolute best is the dolphin-watching cruise.

Head out on a 3-hour Cormoran catamaran cruise and see dolphins play in their natural environment, while a the same time exploring Mallorca’s beautiful coastline.

The cruise also offers the opportunity to stop for a swim.

To book, you can do so here with my partner, GetYourGuide here:

6. Things to do in Santa Ponsa – on dry land |Things to do in Santa Ponsa Mallorca in 2024

Golf enthusiasts also flock to Santa Ponsa. There is a large PGA golf course with three huge golf courses to choose from.

Tournaments and events are played here as well as the opportunity to take in a round of golf yourself.

If you prefer your golf a little more “crazy” then check out the Mini-Golf Miraflores on Calle Ramon Moncada 34, which is lots of fun for all the family in a shady but central area of Santa Ponsa

Jungle Parc is also a fantastic tree-top climbing adventure centre for families and adults of all ages. My daughter has visited here for birthday parties and had an excellent time here.

It’s a great place for a family or group activity day, especially on a cloudy day or to have a break from the beach.

7. Santa Ponsa Hotels |Things to do in Santa Ponsa Mallorca in 2024

There is a great choice of hotels in Santa Ponsa catering for families.

Plus since there are limits on alcohol in all-inclusive in nearby Magaluf, you will find some holidaymakers are now preferring to book their holiday at an all-inclusive hotel in Santa Ponsa instead.

However, be warned. I’ve heard some of the all-inclusive hotels have been negatively impacted by visitors who would normally stay in the all-inclusive Magaluf hotels, now deciding to book in Santa Ponsa.

Magaluf has imposed a 6-drink daily limit on alcoholic drinks but you will not find these restrictions in Santa Ponsa.

Many regular visitors to Santa Ponsa have complained (and I have read this in comments on my Youtube channel) that the resort is starting to attract the crowd that you would normally find in Magaluf.

There have also been complaints of sunbed wars in many of the family hotels. Check out this article here to find out why some Santa Ponsa hotels allow the 5 am sunbed dash.

One of the stand-out hotels in my opinion that I would consider booking is the H10 Casa del Mar hotel on Santa Ponsa Seafront.

Located right on the Santa Ponsa beachfront, this hotel is centrally located to enjoy every area of Santa Ponsa.

Just paces from the beach make this hotel a great choice for those with mobility issues.

Plus with a rooftop view expect to enjoy amazing views from this hotel. Find out more here.

8. Eating out in Santa Ponsa |Things to do in Santa Ponsa Mallorca in 2024

I found eating out in Santa Ponsa to offer the best value for money than most of the other resorts on the island.

I could find a 60-cent coffee and a 1€ beer at the Santuario restaurant which was amazing value.

There is a great choice of restaurants in the resort catering for visiting international and especially UK and Irish visitors.

You can find a huge choice of food right across Santa Ponsa including Spanish food, family food (the usual burger, chips and pizza), steakhouses as well as Japanese, Chinese and Indian.

For those on a real budget, there are also McDonald’s and Burger King.

The choices of places to dine are huge. From the Watering Hole where you can go for lunch and enjoy the restaurant’s swimming pool to the more upmarket Persevantia Beach Club which is right on the water with amazing views.

Families will love the family-friendly value-for-money Restaurante Rehin which is on Avenida Jaime I.

In 2022, dishes start from 7,50€ and even a margarita pizza is just 6€. Now there is nowhere else on the island that I found such value this summer.

If you are not staying half board in a hotel, but also travelling on a low budget, then set back at least 15€ (main course and drink) for a meal (maybe even less) and go from there.

9. Santa Ponsa Nightlife |Things to do in Santa Ponsa Mallorca in 2024

The majority of Santa Ponsa’s nightlife is centred around Calle Ramon Montcada and the far end of Gran Via Puig de Galatzó (as you leave the beach).

The bars here get lively from early evening and more so if there is a football match or major sporting event.

Check out the Dubliner and Sean’s Place for starters if you like live music. I visited in the Summer when the band were playing rock covers and they were good!

Don’t forget you are going to find local Spanish beer to be cheaper than imported beers, so a pint of Guinness could set you back 7€. Whereas a pint of Spanish beer will cost around 3,50€.

10. Where to get afternoon tea in Santa Ponsa |Things to do in Santa Ponsa Mallorca in 2024

You will see many cafés and restaurants over the island selling coffee and cake (and this is very popular with our German visitors), but the absolute BEST place to go for afternoon tea (or anytime tea and cake) is Penny’s Tea Room in Santa Ponsa.

Penny started her tea room over lockdown during the global pandemic, and I remember first walking into her café when filming my first Santa Ponsa video in 2020 (you can find that on my YouTube channel!).

And what an addition to the food offering in Santa Ponsa. With amazing fresh cakes baked daily, I can recommend trying ginger cake, banoffee pie and rocky road.

Open year-round, check out what Penny is baking this week here .

EDIT: I’ve since heard that Penny’s Tea Room has had to close. If Penny will bake elsewhere I’ll update this post. I’ll also try and find an alternative. If you know of anywhere, do let me know in the comments below.

11. Santa Ponsa Summer Market |Things to do in Santa Ponsa Mallorca in 2024

During the Summer months, you will find a market running along the seafront from across the road from the H10 Casa del Mar hotel, running along to the end of the beach towards the centre of the resort.

Filled with locally made crafts, this is a great place to browse and buy locally made souvenirs.

You will find the market at around 7 pm most evenings through July and August until around 10 pm.

12. Where to watch the Football in Santa Ponsa | Things to do in Santa Ponsa Mallorca in 2024

Many bars throughout Santa Ponsa will show the main sporting events, so if you want to watch the football combined with some atmosphere, then head into the centre of Santa Ponsa.

The busiest bars are Daniel’s Corner, Flamingo’s Music Bar as well as Tom’s Pub, Brennan’s and Sean’s Place.

You’ll find it a little quieter in the Dubliner. The further you move away from the centre, the quieter you will find the bars.

I also made a live stream at a time when the Champions League between Man City and Liverpool was being played, so if you would like to see how busy and what the atmosphere was like then check out the live stream here .

13. Where to watch the sunset in Santa Ponsa |Things to do in Santa Ponsa Mallorca in 2024

If you are looking to see the sunset in Santa Ponsa, then you are spoilt for choice.

This is one of the top 23 reasons to visit Santa Ponsa in Mallorca in my opinion. It’s the one area of the island which enjoys spectacular sunsets.

In my top things to do in Santa Ponsa in Santa Ponsa, I have three recommended spots to do this.

Firstly from any one of the Chiringuito beach bars on Santa Ponsa beach.

There are three to choose from and all provide wonderful views of the setting sun.

So get a table early, and grab a cocktail for one of the nicest parts of the day.

Another favourite spot is at the Cross of Discovery, which is near the marina in Santa Ponsa.

There is a lovely walk which takes around 15 to 20 minutes from the centre of the resort.

During peak season, expect the sun to set at around 8:45 pm so set off early for a post-dinner stroll if you are eating early for the most lovely views across the water.

Thirdly and this is my favourite is taking a walk through Santa Ponsa to El Chiringuito Beach bar in Costa de la Calma.

This has to be one of the best places in Mallorca to watch the sunset.

This beach bar opens for the Summer season and closes at the end of October.

It is hoped to open in Easter 2024. You can see my video here about this and get an idea of what it’s like.

14. Sightseeing around Santa Ponsa |Things to do in Santa Ponsa Mallorca in 2024

One of the easiest day trips to do is to take the TIB bus to Palmanova and Magaluf. Of course, you have all the attractions of these two resorts to offer and you can read all about some great things to do in Magaluf here .

Just jump on the 123 bus towards Cas Catalá and you can choose to get off at either Magaluf or Palmanova.

Port Adriano is another great option for a day trip. I made a video out of this here . Not only is there a lovely beach, but the port itself runs an exciting programme of events year-round.

Plus there are some lovely restaurants and a beach club too.

It’s also really easy to get to Mallorca’s capital Palma . Just jump onto the 103 bus which will take you there directly.

You can find the timetable here .

Sightsee around Palma’s Old Town , commercial centre, and all the best historical sights like the cathedral.

Or book a ticket on the Palma City Sightseeing bus to easily see all the key sights without having to follow a map. Check out the best way to do this here .

Another fantastic option for a day out is to take the 122 bus to Camp de Mar , and eat a traditional paella. There is a lovely walk along the beach and along the coastal path here but best of all is the selection of seafood restaurants and beach bars to grab a bite to eat with great views.

You can find the TIB bus timetable here .

15. St Patrick’s Day in Santa Ponsa |Things to do in Santa Ponsa Mallorca in 2024

A great place to celebrate St Patrick’s Day is in Santa Ponsa. For 2024, St Patrick’s Day will be held on the 17 March and there will be a huge parade in the centre of reosrt.

It won’t be hot and sunny, but there is a great event here.

You will find food trucks and a fantastic market lining the seafront, plus a great atmosphere in the bars.

Just bear in mind that while many bars will open just for St Patrick’s Day, many will then close again until Easter at the end of March in 2024 or until the beginning of the season on May 1st.

St Patrick’s Day in Santa Ponsa attracts visitors from all over the island. It’s the biggest event happening this weekend in March and it is so lively that the residents don’t want to miss it either.

16. Hiking around Santa Ponsa |Things to do in Santa Ponsa Mallorca in 2024

There are hiking routes all over Calvia, however, the most family-friendly and easiest to do is the walk around the Puig de Sa Morisca Archaeological Park.

As soon as you arrive at Palma de Mallorca airport you will see windmills on Mallorca’s landscape and these are iconic symbols on the island.

You can park nearby and visit this emblematic symbol of Mallorca, and see a real working windmill (and tourist attraction) in action.

In 2024, I have seen that renovations are being made to the windmill, so expect this to be a popular attraction when the season starts.

18. The Festes de San Jaume, Santa Ponsa |Things to do in Santa Ponsa Mallorca in 2024

Booking your holiday to Santa Ponsa during the “Fests de San Jaume” could quite possibly be the very best time to visit the resort.

The Correfoc or running of the fires in Santa Ponsa is one of the best on the island.

It’s the night when the “demonis” or devils come to parade spraying fireworks and firecrackers over the waiting public.

You will see locals dancing underneath the sparks, and drummers playing some incredible music.

The event culminates with a music concert and an actual firework display which lights up Santa Ponsa.

You can read more about the Correfoc here , but it is in my opinion the best night out in Santa Ponsa for the year!

The event is to reenact the battle in 1299 when the Christian troops fought the residing Moors when King Jaume I landed in Mallorca.

Many other smaller mock battles take place, and it’s all good fun.

Santa Ponsa,

Santa Ponsa, Mallorca

Holiday beach resort in the south west of Mallorca

Santa Ponsa, also known as Santa Ponça, is a holiday resort situated in a beautiful sheltered cove in the south-west of Mallorca. Popular with the British for more than 40 years, it’s surprising that it has managed to avoid the high rises found in some of the resorts around Mallorca’s coastline. The bay boasts a stunning mountain backdrop with more tastefully constructed villas and apartment complexes littering the area.

Its large blue flag beach is the main attraction here, a wide, long stretch of silky soft white sand lined by a lively promenade. Santa Ponsa is a family-friendly resort but welcomes a whole host of age groups due to being well equipped with restaurants , bars , shops and all sorts of activities for holidaymakers. Over the years, expats have been drawn to the area which means that, unlike many other resorts on the island, you will find some of the restaurants and bars stay open all 12 months of the year.

The town has its very own private marina, Club Nautico Santa Ponsa sitting within a natural cove known as “Sa Caleta” which houses boats up to 20 metres long. Just up the road, you will find the more energetic and prestigious Port Adriano marina which accommodates the super yachts of the rich and famous and is renowned for its jam-packed calendar of events throughout the summer months.

History & Culture in Santa Ponsa

Santa Ponsa may look like just another beach resort but it does have a permanent place in Mallorcan history. The name actually comes from a Roman villa called Sancta Pontia. And it was here that Jaume I landed in 1229 to begin his conquest of Mallorca. Sa Caleta, the cove where he landed, is now home to Santa Ponsa Marina and has been marked with a large stone cross since 1929 in memory of this historical event. The festival Rei en Jaume takes place annually at the end of August, beginning of September to commemorate this landing. Tourism hit Santa Ponsa in the early 1960s, as the area fully embraced package holidays, and now very little remains of the original village.

Beaches in Santa Ponsa

Santa Ponsa Beach is more than 500 metres wide, relatively deep and boasts ‘Blue Flag’ status. There are sunbeds and parasols to rent, public toilets and showers so you can make the most of enjoying a day on the beach. If in need of a break from lounging around in the Mediterranean sunshine, you can try out some of the watersports available on the beach. This beach is backed by a promenade which has a selection of bars, cafes and souvenir shops. There’s also another small beach within the cove called Caló d’en Pallisser if you fancy a change of scenery or want to hang out with the locals who tend to prefer this beach as it is usually less crowded.

Events in Santa Ponsa

The main event in Santa Ponsa is the Festes del Rei en Jaume , a celebration in reference to the aforementioned King Jaume I conquest in 1229. It is held at the beginning of September and the star attraction is the mock battle between the 'Moors' and the 'Christians', generally held on Saturday.

Shopping There are plenty of convenience stores found within the resort alongside the typical holiday resort souvenir and beach shops selling local ceramics, inflatables, towels and sun cream. There is a small market held in Santa Ponsa on Saturday mornings on Avenida Riu Sill but the closest big market is held just down the road in Andratx every Wednesday . It’s well worth the visit. If you don’t have your own car you can get a bus or a taxi there.

Santa Ponsa Mallorca: Essential Tourist Guide From Locals…

Enjoy our quick guide to Santa Ponsa, a small town in the Spanish Balearic Island of Mallorca located within the municipality of Calvia.

A popular holiday destination, Santa Ponsa has been attracting visitors from countries with colder climates that include Great Britain, Ireland, Germany and the Netherlands.

Santa Ponsa is 18 kilometers from the Mallorca capital Palma .

santa_ponsa_overview

Below we feature an expat interview with Kristin Hillmann of Mallorca Site who covers the Santa Ponsa area.

Specifically, we wanted to learn from Kristin the many reasons why people should consider moving to this area and the value for money they can get once they decide to stay permanently.

Kristin, thanks for helping our readers. I guess we should start off by asking what would you say would be the advantages to living in Santa Ponsa compared to other Mallorca towns?

Santa Ponsa is one of the largest urbanisations in the Southwest of Mallorca . Despite been developed only a few decades ago, it has become one of the nicest and most popular residential areas in Mallorca. It is an urbanisation that leaves you to have more space between homes, garden with flat area for families and elevated areas to enjoy the views. Prestigious boulevards connect the different parts of Santa Ponsa, which are as multifaceted as the property concepts to be found here.

For golfers and buyers interested in sports and recreation Santa Ponsa offers three golf courses, Houses frontline to golf, the sea or with stunning views from prominent positions on the “Ensaimada hill” show the variety. The superior plot sizes allow for distinct building concepts and fancy architecture. The central location and excellent infrastructure attract international buyers who make Santa Ponsa their main family residence.

Would the area not suit certain types of people, i.e. are there any possible downsides?

It is not a typical traditional area despite being the first city after the conquest of Jaume I. For those who seek to integrate and live the Majorcan life, it is not the ideal place.

What proportion of the local population are Spanish?

English, a few Scandinavians and many Germans, the Spanish, depending on the area, live more in the older areas of Santa Ponsa.

santaponsa2

What are your favourite things to do in the area?

Lazing by the Beach, eating out, golf, boats, diving on the protected areas like el Toro y Malgrats.

Can you give us some insider tips to the best bars or restaurants?

Restaurant Miguel if you are looking for fresh fish and Restaurant Las Olas if you like Paella. For pizzas go to Pino’s , Bruno in Port Adriano, the best meat at restaurant el Jardín (not such a nice location but the food is amazing)

Are there many facilities such as doctors and dentists, shops etc?

There is a wide range of boutiques and gift shops plus the Saturday market. The nearby Polígono Son Bugadelles is a large industrial estate featuring a wide range of retail businesses attracting customers from across the island including many furniture stores, building and yacht suppliers and interior designers. English-speaking doctors can be found throughout Santa Ponsa.

Are there smaller villages nearby that you might also recommend?

With an easy motorway access everything from the liveliness of Palma Nova and Magaluf to the quiet of Andratx is within easy reach. Puerto Portals is a popular port with high-end clients who are looking for a spot of boutique shopping, or just a coffee in beautiful surroundings.The towns of Costa de la Calma and Son Ferrer are largely residential and the nearby Port Adriano is a Mecca for designer shopping and super-yachts.

What are the nearest international schools and how good are they?

There are many international schools in Mallorca apart from local schools, both private and state, with all of them enjoying an excellent reputation. The nearest is the Baleares International College followed by the Agora Portals International School, King Richard.

Is crime an issue for expats?

I believe it is not. It is a pretty quiet area.

Coming onto buying property, what is the market like now in terms of prices going up, or down or staying the same?

The quality of the properties are increasing, adapting to a more demanding client so the prices are going up. Properties which are not up to date are considered a plot more than a villa. In those cases prices can go down to adapt. Good situated plots are rare so paying the price for a plot with a house to reform, at the end is much more expensive.

Is this a good time to buy and are there any repossessions or very cheap properties still available to buy?

A few good deals are available but many clients looking for the same.

bucht_santa_ponca

What urbanisations are there and can you describe each one and how they might differ from each other?

There is the old Santa Ponsa with its many apartment buildings, the hotels, the touristic beach and High Street and Nova Santa Ponsa, which was developed only a few decades ago, and has become one of the nicest and most popular residential areas in Mallorca.

How much are the typical property prices in Santa Ponsa for apartments, villas etc?

Modern houses 5,000 euros/m2 (built) – 6,000 euros/m2 (built) with a lot of luxury. You easily can reach up to 10,000@/m2 (built).

Houses to be renovated between 4,000 euros/m2 (built) and 2,000@/m2 (built).
