Santa Ponsa

Santa Ponsa is a popular holiday resort in the south-west of Majorca. It is located just 18km/11mi away from Palma de Mallorca, the capital city of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands in Spain (the closest airport is also located in Palma de Mallorca). Santa Ponsa is settled around a lovely bay surrounded by green scenery mountains. Here tourists can enjoy a wide selection of cafes, bars, restaurants,around 50 cosy hotels and apartments, as well as a white sandy beach more than 700m/2300ft long and a sport harbor. In September Santa Ponsa celebrates the island’s biggest festival, called the Fiesta of Rei en Jaume, that is worth visiting. The waters near the coast are crystal clear and usually very calm, which creates ideal conditions for scuba diving. Divers can dive on both the east and west sides of Santa Ponsa, but, the eastern side is much preferred because of its diverse and vivid underwater life. In the surrounding waters divers of all diver levels can explore the magnificent underwater landscapes with excellent and interesting caves, walls, and wrecks.
