Santa Ponsa is a lively and well-liked holiday resort located on the southwest coast of Mallorca. This thriving area is very popular with Irish and Scottish visitors so a number of the bars, restaurants and markets present a Celtic theme. The main beach is quite large and there is also a smaller secondary beach set in its own sheltered cove about 15 minutes walk away. Both beaches have all the facilities expected of a modern resort, along with a good variety of water sports equipment available for hire and swimming in the bay is generally quite safe. Visitors can enjoy boat trips along the coast, and make Santa Ponsa a base from which to explore all the attractions of Mallorca. Neighbouring Palma Nova and Magaluf provide evening entertainment.
