Santa Ponsa, nestled just 20 minutes from Palma, the capital of the island, lies in the southwest of Mallorca. Its town center is nestled around a picturesque bay hugged by rocky cliffs. Along the promenade, lined with a variety of Mallorcan and international eateries, cafes, and shops, lies a road separating it from the stunning sandy beach. Facing westward, the beach allows for sun-soaked enjoyment well into the evening. Santa Ponsa boasts a robust year-round infrastructure, perfect for leisurely strolls, boat excursions, cycling adventures, swimming, tennis, and golf. Tennis enthusiasts can relish a Wimbledon-esque ambiance at the tennis courts, where world-class players have graced the courts since the opening in 2016. A short distance from the town center lies the picturesque yacht harbor, Club Nautico. While Santa Ponsa epitomizes contemporary luxury living, it also holds historical significance. Near the town, atop Puig de Sa Morisca, lies a Talaiot settlement dating back from ancient times to the Moorish era. Additionally, in the 13th century, Santa Ponça witnessed a pivotal moment in Mallorca’s history when King Jaume I of Aragón, in September 1229, led his army to reconquer the island from the Moors. To commemorate this event, a monumental stone cross was erected. Annually, during the first week of September, the “Fiesta Rei En Jaume” unfolds, featuring a reenactment of the battle and a procession. Beyond the town center, nestled amid three golf courses and Port Adriano, lies Nova Santa Ponsa, one of the island’s most exclusive residential areas. Here, amidst a Mediterranean backdrop, one can savor the lifestyle coveted by celebrities while enjoying golf at exclusive resorts. Luxurious apartments ensconced in well-manicured grounds and dreamlike villas have drawn affluent tourists and residents from across the globe.
