Santa Ponsa
The resort core, around the main beach and the marina — walkable, busy in season, with restaurants, shops and the Club Náutico. Apartments and townhouses sit closer in; villas rise on the slopes above.
Southwest Mallorca
Living in Santa Ponsa, Mallorca
A resort town on the southwest coast of Mallorca, in the municipality of Calvià — a short drive from Palma, with golf, marinas and protected coastline on its doorstep.
Where Santa Ponsa is
Perfectly placed on Mallorca's southwest coast.
Santa Ponsa sits on Mallorca's southwest coast, in Calvià — long one of the island's most established municipalities for second homes and permanent residents alike. Palma and its old town are about twenty minutes away, and the airport around twenty-five. The area is well connected toward Palma and Andratx, yet set back enough to keep its quiet.

The areas of Santa Ponsa
Three distinct areas, one exceptional lifestyle.
Santa Ponsa covers several distinct areas, and the difference between them matters when you are choosing where to live.
Nova Santa Ponsa
The elevated residential quarter to the west, known for its villas — larger plots, sea and golf views, and proximity to Port Adriano. It is the area most associated with the top of the local market.
Costa de la Calma & El Toro
Quieter and greener, and often better value — Costa de la Calma runs along the coast toward El Toro and the marina at Port Adriano, with a residential, year-round feel.
Sea, beaches and nature
Blue waters, hidden coves and mountain views.
Santa Ponsa's main beach is a wide arc of sand with a gentle shelf; smaller calas sit along the coast in either direction. Offshore lie the Malgrats islands, a protected marine reserve whose clear water draws swimmers, snorkellers and boats through the summer. Behind the town, the Serra de Tramuntana rises — the range that frames the island's western light.
Golf, marina and the sea life
Golf courses, a world-class marina and a true sailing lifestyle.
Santa Ponsa is built around golf and the sea. Three eighteen-hole courses sit within the area, long a fixture of the island's golfing calendar. On the water, the marina at Port Adriano — redesigned by Philippe Starck — berths larger yachts a few minutes to the west, while the Club Náutico Santa Ponsa serves sailors closer to town. The Bay of Palma beyond hosts the island's summer regattas.

The Santa Ponsa property market
A diverse market with strong long-term appeal.
Santa Ponsa draws a largely international buyer — northern European, and increasingly year-round rather than seasonal. Homes range from apartments near the beach to substantial villas on the hillsides, with new-build and off-plan properties among the most sought after.
| Property type | Typical price range |
|---|---|
| Apartments & penthouses | €450,000 – €2,500,000 |
| Townhouses | €900,000 – €2,800,000 |
| Villas | €1,500,000 – €8,000,000+ |
| New-build villas | €2,500,000 – €10,000,000+ |
| Off-plan opportunities | On request |
High demand, limited supply and a prime location make Santa Ponsa one of the most resilient markets in Mallorca.
