Kimpton Aysla Mallorca · Santa PonçaFor this guide we reviewed the best hotels in Santa Ponsa and chose one: a luxury hotel by the golf course that stands on the top rung of our ranking – and offers a wide choice of rooms. What that means for booking is below.Our choice for Santa Ponsa is the Kimpton Aysla Mallorca on Avinguda del Golf. In our ranking it stands at 4.9 out of 5 – the top rung. A night starts at 290 euros, and it belongs to IHG One Rewards.
Why we recommend it: Because it holds 79 rooms and suites in a resort with four pools, plus three restaurants and two bars, tennis courts and a spa of 900 square metres. The Santa Ponsa golf course is one and a half kilometres away, the beach two, the Port Adriano marina three – and Palma with its cathedral fourteen. Our recommended category is called Garden View.
On the spelling: the district is written Santa Ponça, the municipality Santa Ponsa. The same place is meant.
38 categories – and 26 of them the same size.
The hotel offers 38 room categories. Sorted by size, the picture is clear:
• one category at 32 square metres
• 26 categories at 33
• five Premium categories at 39
• three Presidential suites at 102
Which means: among 26 categories of the same size, it is the fittings and the outlook that decide – three categories look out over the resort’s garden.
Our recommendation is Garden View: two categories carry this name, both at 33 square metres.
Our advice: ask about position and outlook, not about the category. With 26 categories of the same size, position and outlook tell you more than the name.
The Kimpton Aysla Mallorca stands on Avinguda del Golf – one and a half kilometres from the Santa Ponsa golf course, two from the beach, three from the Port Adriano marina, fourteen from the cathedral in Palma and 21 from Palma airport.
Our recommendation is therefore for anyone who plays golf and would rather not drive to it – and for those who see Palma in a day and want to be back by the pool in the evening.
What lies within reach: the Santa Ponsa golf course, played since the 1980s; the beach of Santa Ponsa, a shallow arc of sand looking out to the Malgrats islands; and Port Adriano, a marina whose extension was designed by Philippe Starck.
On arrival: Palma airport is 21 kilometres away, with the Ma-1 motorway running past. Palma itself is fourteen kilometres, a good twenty minutes.
The Kimpton Aysla Mallorca offers 38 categories, three of them suites.
The rooms: one category at 32 square metres, 26 at 33 and five Premium categories at 39. Added to these are the Essential and three Family categories.
The suites: three Presidential at 102 square metres each – the hotel’s largest floor plan, present three times over.
On the view: this hotel’s motif is the garden of the resort – three categories look out on it, one of them called Resort Garden View.
What applies equally to every category: breakfast for two, 100 US dollars hotel credit per stay, the upgrade on arrival subject to availability, regular points and status benefits with IHG One Rewards and early check-in and late check-out subject to availability.

When it is loveliest: in April, May and June and in September and October, when the water is still warm and the paths are empty.
What belongs to Santa Ponsa: the summer. In July and August the south-west of Mallorca is well booked, and the beach shows it. Anyone looking for quiet comes in spring or autumn.
When to ask early: in the summer holidays and for the spring golf season.
How long to stay: four to five nights – a day in Palma, a day of golf, the rest by the pool.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.
Santa Ponsa belongs to the municipality of Calvià and has two histories: an old one beginning in 1229, when James I landed here and took the island – a cross on the headland recalls it – and a young one that started with tourism in the 1960s.
