Santa Ponça
Santa Ponça is a lively seaside resort on Mallorca’s southwest coast, centred on a broad, family-friendly sandy bay with a palm-lined promenade, a small marina and a cluster of hotels, cafés and bars — a convenient base for beach days, boat trips and nearby golf.
What Makes It Special
The bay is the historic landing site of King James I (Jaime I) and is marked by a prominent cross on the headland, giving the resort a distinctive mix of beach atmosphere and tangible local history.
Insider Tips
For a quieter experience head to the beach early morning or late afternoon and stroll the seafront at sunset; use the small marina as a jump-off point for short boat trips to nearby coves or as a base if you plan to play the nearby Golf Santa Ponsa courses.
