Santa Ponsa Majorca Pirate Village: Where to Stay and Hotels

Santa Ponsa itself is the larger base, a coastal town of around 10,700 residents. Staying here puts you close to the small beach of Caló d'en Pellicer and within about half a mile of the Puig de Sa Morisca Archaeological Park, where you can walk among the remains of an ancient hilltop settlement. The Roman settlement of sa Mesquida and the Turó de ses Abelles site are similarly close, which makes the town a good pick if you like a little history between beach days.

El Toro, roughly 2 miles away, is much smaller, with a population of about 2,300, and suits travellers who want a quieter coastal stay. Platja del Toro is on the doorstep, while the cove of Cala Figuera and the Cala Figuera Lighthouse are around 4 miles further on, at the very tip of this coastline. The drive from Palma airport is about 21 minutes, barely longer than to Santa Ponsa.

The searches British travellers make for this resort tell you a good deal about how people stay here. Aparthotels and self catering in Santa Ponsa are popular with families who want a kitchen and space to spread out, while a villa in Santa Ponsa, Majorca, appeals to larger groups looking for privacy. There is also steady interest in holiday park and hotel park style accommodation, where pools and facilities are shared on one site.

Many visitors also search for the pirate village hotel in Santa Ponsa alongside the resort hotels; whichever style you lean towards, the live hotel prices on this page let you compare options side by side for your dates, from aparthotel holiday centre stays to standard rooms.

May and June are the sweet spot: daytime highs of around 24°C to 29°C with only five to seven rain days a month. July and August reach about 32°C and are almost dry, but they coincide with UK school holidays, when rates generally climb and the best-located rooms go early. September stays warm at around 28°C yet is the wettest month, with about 68mm of rain over ten days, so pack a light layer.

Most British travellers book a package, combining the flight into Palma, the hotel and the short transfer of about 20 minutes. You can compare package deals here, including Jet2holidays for anyone searching for Santa Ponsa hotels with Jet2, alongside TUI, loveholidays and On the Beach, and check whether your board basis is self-catering, half board or all inclusive.
