A lovely wide and sandy beach of Santa Ponsa Beach is located between Punta de Castellote and Caló d’en Peleser, forming a large bay. It is surrounded by pine trees, providing a pleasant shadow during the hottest hours and separating the beach from the green promenade along the coast.

The majority of buildings in these surroundings are hotels and apartment complexes. For example, a boutique Hotel Playas del Rey and Santa Ponsa Country Club, Spa & Gym, a beloved meeting hub for the international audience, are located just a few steps from the beach area.

If you wish to escape from the crowds, typical for the large beaches at high season, on the other side of the bay, there is a smaller rocky beach set. It is located in a small calla, near the local marina of Club Nautico Santa Ponsa, which is a preferred place among local Spaniards.

Still, both beaches provide a range of facilities for different kinds of water sports. If you want to go diving Zoea Mallorca at Club Nautico Santa Ponsa organizes dives and courses for all levels.

You can find many cafes, bars and restaurants in Santa Ponsa. For example, Sa Terassa, just across the street from the beach area, offers a nice selection of local and Mexican cuisine and stunning terrace views over the bay. There is also a number of Scottish and Irish bars and cafés, established here in response to the market of a large British community.

Santa Ponsa also hosts different festivities. One of the most notable is the fiesta of Rei En Jaume, which commemorates the important historic event and attracts both residents and visitors. During this festive week, a vast program of different events is held. For example, the medieval market, recreation of the battle between the Moors and Christians, a parade of ‘giants’ coming from all over Mallorca, and the ‘nit de foc’, the night of fire.

The atmosphere here is mainly family friendly and entertaining. Santa Ponsa comes alive in the early evening with its abundance of bars, restaurants, and live music venues. It is a perfect place on Mallorca to spend some quality time with your family. All things considered, Santa Ponsa is a lively, easy going and mostly a family and golf holiday place, attracting prime second-home buyers for the property investment.
