Santa Ponsa, situated just 18 kilometres from the capital of Palma, is a charming spot whose name is believed to be derived from the Arabic words 'Sanat Busa', meaning 'area of rush bushes'. Brimming with history, the town commemorates King James I of Aragon's landing here in 1229, celebrating every September with a grand fiesta and mock beach battle.

Santa Ponsa isn't just about historical celebrations; it's a town that knows how to party, becoming a sought-after destination for younger travellers thanks to its animated nightlife and proximity to another party hub, Magaluf. But the town also presents a more serene face with its two 18-hole and one 9-hole golf courses, one of which has hosted a PGA European Tour event.

Docked perfectly between partying and tranquillity is Santa Ponsa's private marina, Club Náutico Santa Ponsa, home to up to 522 boats and offering dry dock services. Adding to its charm is the Baleares International College, an English school founded in 1956 located near the village of Magaluf. All these facets create Santa Ponsa's unique appeal, with tourists appreciating its sandy beaches, vibrant life and rich history.

When to visit Santa Ponsa

With its warm Mediterranean climate, Santa Ponsa is blessed with hot, dry summers and mild winters, making it a year-round destination. If sunbathing on beautiful beaches is your holiday goal, the months from June through August are ideal, with temperatures peaking at an average of 32°C in July.

Rainfall is minimal during this period, making it perfect for scoring an all-inclusive accommodation deal and maximising your time outdoors soaking up the sun. However, if you plan to explore Santa Ponsa’s historical treasures or hit the golf courses, the shoulder months, with milder temperatures and fewer tourists, may be more appealing. No matter when you choose to visit, Santa Ponsa offers unforgettable memories and a warm welcome.
