Santa Ponsa is a town situated in the south-eastern part
of the island. It belongs to the municipality of Calvià
and is basically a tourist centre. This doesn’t mean
that it has no historical background since it was at
this precise plane that King Jaime I landed when de
started the conquest of Majorca, a historical fact
remembered in the form of a stone cross erected on the
cliffs facing the sea. The main attraction of this
locality, besides the obvious array of bars and
restaurants, is the extensive sandy beach. The calm
waters of this beach allow bathing just a few metres
away from the built up areas.
The Club Nautic de Santa Ponsa (sailing club) meets all
the requirements to stand out as one of Majorca’s
finest. It was built taking advantage of a long and
narrow natural harbour, which make this port an ideal
berth for private vessels to dock. Besides these
advantageous conditions, the club is equipped with the
most complete and modern nautical facilities (reserved
exclusively for club members). Geographically speaking,
the club is situated in a historical site, since it was
at this very same spot that King Jaime I landed in 1229.
A stone cross, erected on the cliff, commemorates this
