Guide to Property in Mallorca - Santa Ponsa

Situated in the district of Alvia on Mallorca's southwest coast, just 5 kilometres from the very popular resorts of Magaluf and Palma Nova, Santa Ponsa is a pretty laid-back, family-oriented resort that serves as an excellent base from which to explore what is an attraction-packed region.

Developing from a small fishing village, Santa Ponsa began to expand into the recommended resort it is today as a result of the onset of package tourism in the 1960s. It now has a sizeable beach which has actually been expanded with imported sand to meet the demand for comfortable space in peak season, and boasts a very good range of restaurants, cafés and bars serving international cuisine.

Around Santa Ponsa, there is a wealth of entertainment available to suit all tastes and ages. Golfing types will be delighted to hear that there are three courses within minutes of Santa Ponsa - the less-than-dazzlingly-named Santa Ponsa I, II and III, but all providing great tests of skill. Along the same lines but somewhat less serious is the immensely popular Golf Fantasia, one of the most imaginative and attractive mini-golf courses you could find anywhere, resplendent with waterfalls, 'jungle' and caves.

Close to Magaluf is Aqualand Magaluf, a superb waterpark with rides and slides to thrill everyone from toddler to pensioner. Very close to Aqualand is a go-karting track that is open until midnight in high season. Western Park represents a novel approach, combining waterpark, nature reserve and Wild West themes to great effect. Marineland is an aquatic park featuring dolphin, sea lion and, curiously, parrot shows, and is situated at Portals Nous, close to Palma Nova.

As far as investing in Mallorca property is concerned, Santa Ponsa's location should be greatly appealing for families with young children. Close to major resorts and set in the midst of some of the area's prime attractions, yet remaining an agreeable resort in which to live quietly if desired, Santa Ponsa offers the best of both worlds in Spanish property investment. Santa Ponsa's star is most certainly on the rise, and the increasing demand for property here is an indicator.
