Santa Ponsa (Catalan: Santa Ponça) is a holiday resort in the south-west of Mallorca. Located in the municipality of Calvià, it is 18 kilometres from the capital Palma de Mallorca. The resort is popular with British, Irish and German tourists. It is predominantly a summer resort with the season lasting from May to October. A family resort with plenty of bars, restaurants and nightly entertainment, and a clean and safe beach. Santa Ponsa is one of the few Mallorcan resorts with a history, because it was here that King Jaime the First (Jaume in Catalan) landed on 10 September 1229 in his quest to conquer the island and take it from the Moors after more than 300 years of Muslim rule. Mallorca became part of the Kingdom of Aragon following Jaime's conquest, and was later annexed to the Kingdom of Spain. A cross at the entrance to the marina marks the spot where Jaime landed. Every September there is a grand fiesta to commemorate the landing with a mock battle between the Moors and Christians on the beach. It is a two week fiesta which incorporates a pop concert and firework display. There are two top golf courses in Santa Ponsa but visitors are only allowed to use the Santa Ponsa I course which, like Santa Ponsa II, has hosted a PGA European Tour event.
