Santa Ponsa, Mallorca - A success story

In the 1970s Santa Ponsa was a typical Mediterranean tourist resort town of hotels, holiday apartments, a marina, summer season cafés, restaurants, tourist shops, a fine sandy beach and a few fine homes along the nearby coastline. Nowadays Santa Ponsa extends to include Santa Ponsa Nova, Santa Ponsa Golf and as far as the marina of Port Adriano, its eastern boundary, approximately 3 miles from the original resort centre.

The area has developed considerably in the last 30 years and it is fair to say the development has in most cases been well planned, creating both a vibrant town and a pleasing rural environment. In more recent times the urbanizations - I would prefer to call them rural residential areas - have been built allowing space for private rural style living with gardens and views, in many cases sea views. In the 1980s apartment complexes were built on frontline locations and although now a more dated product, their locations mean they are very saleable.

However, new sites on the coastline are not permitted and new built apartment complexes are built back from the coast - perhaps only 500 metres from the sea but these developments are particularly well thought out giving their owners, in many cases several thousand square metres of landscaped community gardens and giant swimming pools.

Their quality is high, features including underfloor heating, hot & cold air-conditioning, marble floors, double glazing, deluxe kitchens and luxury bathrooms. For a number of years, First Mallorca a leading Santa Ponsa estate agent, has been promoting quality before quantity.

Santa Ponsa has several superb amenities or claims to fame which make it the success story it is... the 4 excellent golf courses, The Santa Ponsa Country Club, The Club Nautico Marina, its beaches the resort town and the close-by and expanding Port Adriano marina. In addition the easy access to Palma, the international airport and international schools are just a few of the super convenient amenities. No wonder the area has attracted property owners from around the world and nowadays one can find truly superior and exclusive properties, frontline villas and apartments for sale in Santa Ponsa.
