Santa Ponsa, Majorca (Mallorca), Balearic Islands, Spain

Description
Santa Ponsa has grown in and around a wide and deeply recessed sparkling blue 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.
Location
Located 30 km from Palma on Majorca's southwest coast. It's easy to reach the rugged north west coast from Santa
Ponsa, and explore the pretty villages and incredible views. Visit in September when the annual 'Moors and Christians'
festival takes place, with a battle on the beach and a medieval market.
Transfer time 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes
Beaches
The main beach stretches across the bay, its glowing wide expanse of white sand is backed up by a small promenade,
bordering some tall pine trees. For those sun-worshippers wishing to explore, there is a smaller beach located further
round the bay.
Shopping

well as the occasional craft bazaar and a weekly market in Calvia.
Nightlife
There are a good selection of bars and late-night venues on offer, particularly Irish bars with live music, providing
a great atmosphere. A handful of discos and clubs are also available for those seeking a night on the tiles. The town
square has a lively atmosphere in the evening created by the pavement cafés and open air bars.
