The resort of Santa Ponsa is found on the south west coast of Majorca approx 5km from the infamous resorts of
Palma Nova and Magaluf and 30km from the islands capital and airport in Palma. Transfer time is around 1 - 1.1/2 hours.
The main beach is reasonably large and has the usual variety of
water sports available for hire. It should be noted that the beach is popular with both tourists and locals and does become crowded in high season. There's also a smaller beach, set in its own sheltered cove, about 15 minutes walk away which can be reached from the Avinguda Rei Jaume I.
Regular boat trips run from the beach at a cost of around 2000pts (£10) and are excellent value for money.
Santa Ponsa has quite a good selection of cafe, bars and restaurants and excellent facilities for visitors on self catering arrangements.
The resort benefits from a frequent bus service into Palma, but beware the buses get very crowded and are a haven for pickpockets.
The resort come alive in the early evening, but is never in the league of its neighbours Palma Nova and Magaluf. The towns main square has an abundance of Irish themed bars and live music catering for families and children.
The resort is cheerful, easy going and is essentially a family resort.
