Santa Ponsa Majorca
By investing in property in Santa Ponsa you are investing in a very historic and ancient city.
Santa Ponsa is just to the west of the Badia de Palma. A sheltered resort with pinewoods and a large sandy beach washed by clear shallow water, Santa Ponsa is very popular with British holiday makers and although during the summer months the resort is very busy, it never attains the brash atmosphere of nearby Magaluf.
But don’t forget, by owning your own Santa Ponsa property you can enjoy Majorca all year round. A marina, a golf course and water sports are part of Santa Ponsa’s wide range of facilities. From the marina, a sign posted road leads south to the rocky headland of Es Malgrat.
The very popular holiday resort of Santa Ponsa, along with its more infamous neighbours Palma Nova and Magaluf, are all part of the municipal district of Calvia on the south west coast of Majorca approximately 20km, or 12 miles west of the capital Palma.
Although most visitors to *Santa Ponsa *are undoubtedly on a traditional package holiday, many of the tour operators now consider the actual transfer from the Son Sant Joan International airport to your chosen accommodation to be an optional extra, which in turn is leading more people to make their own arrangements for the journey by either pre-booked hire car, or alternatively by one of the many taxis from the ranks outside the arrivals hall.
.
In theory at least, these taxis should all operate on a fixed price basis, charging around 40€ for the journey over to Santa Ponsa, however experience has shown that this “fixed price” may vary slightly depending upon the number of suitcases, the time of day or night of the journey, and of course the number of passengers carried. Also an important consideration for families travelling with small children, is that these taxis do not as a rule carry child seats, therefore children may have to sit on their parent’s knee for the journey. If this is a cause for concern, we strongly recommend that you make arrangements for a pre-booked taxi to be waiting for you at the airport, and clearly specify at the time of booking that a child seat is needed for the journey.
The journey for those who have chosen to drive, is fairly straightforward for the most part, although a slight complication certainly worth mentioning, is that in recent years the local Government on the island has re-numbered most of the roads on Mallorca, so please make sure that you have an up to date map before setting out!
The basic route for this journey is, as you depart the airport grounds you will normally join the Ma-19 motorway heading west towards Palma, which then becomes the Ma-20 as it arcs around the northern residential and industrial suburbs of the city. You then need to continue along the Ma-20 until it becomes the Ma-1 Carretera de Palma – Palmanova, at which point then keep a sharp look out for the Santa Ponsa turning.
