Santa Ponsa & Costa de la Calma

The Santa Ponsa area has developed naturally over more than 40 years to become one of the most sought-after areas in which to own in the South West of the Island. There is a big selection of properties here, from cozy studios to 2 & 3 bedroom properties in new, exclusive developments with apartments, townhouses and villas, right on up to very exclusive, million-euro plus villas high above the bay.

Santa Ponsa town is built around a wide, blue bay – the bay in which, it is widely accepted, the christian King Jaume 1 landed in 1229 and marched his army into Palma, (along what was later to become Avenida Jaime 1,) and defeat the ruling Moors. The day is enthusiastically celebrated every year in September with colourful, lively parades & fiestas, to which Mallorquines, Spanish, foreigners and tourists are unequivocally invited to join in the fun and party till daybreak. (The local chemists bring in extra stocks of aspirin & paracetamol for the event!) The livelier side of the town lies on the North side of the bay, while the Southern shore is much more residential. 

The town is basically open for business all year and fully serviced by excellent supermarkets, shops, restaurants, golf clubs and all the amenities one would expect. Santa Ponsa's premier attraction is, naturally, the bright, friendly offices of Mallorca Hot Property........... on the roundabout in front of the big beach............

'Costa de la Calma' means ' Coast of the Calm' – and that's just what it is. This backwater of Santa Ponsa is completely residential and the quiet streets and lanes are populated, in the main, by villas rather than apartments. The area is quite big and it can take between 5 minutes and 30 minutes to walk into Santa Ponsa centre.
