Along its stretch are some good quality hotels and on the beach itself are a good number of bars and restaurants meaning you don't have to stroll to far from your sunlounger.

It’s perfect for daytime strolling or sitting at a cafe in the early evening. At the end of the promenade you’ll find the picturesque harbour which originally was the centre of this old fishing village before the influence of tourism.

Elsewhere the resort is filled with pedestrian streets lined with palm trees and packed with shops, bars and interesting eateries that beckon you in with their tempting menus.

Here and in the newer areas nearby, there is an abundance of shops of every type and style imaginable – Palma is a shopping paradise!

Santa Ponsa is a resort popular with families due to a wonderful beach that shelves into a shallow bay and its ‘home from home’ atmosphere. However it also has an important place in Majorca’s history as King Jaime disembarked in Santa Ponsa on Sept 10th 1229 to conquer the island from the Moors after more than 300 years of Muslim domination. The spot, at the entrance to the Marina, is now marked by a cross.

The beach has all the usual facilities; water sports, pedaloes, banana rides. 15 minutes walk from the Avenida Rey Jaime 1 is Santa Ponsas second beach, a pretty little cove that is less crowded in the high summer months. The small Marina hosts a number of daily boats trips that transverse the South Coast but it’s also a great place to stroll to in the early summer evenings to watch the yachts coming in from their day trips.

Evenings are very much family orientated. In the summer months (May – October) the Square in Santa Ponsa comes alive with singers, musicians and all round entertainers every night. Starting at 8pm each evening the early entertainment focuses on the children, so parents can relax at a nearby bar whilst the kids boogie away at their own ‘disco’. Later the acts are more adult orientated with tribute bands and singers.

Restaurants are plentiful in the resort and everything from traditional pub grub to Mexican, Indian or tapas.
