Rates checked in September 2026. Under its single-fee structure, Airbnb charges most hosts 15,5%; Airbnb says other hosts typically pay between 14% and 16%. Exceptions depend on country and account type. Booking.com sets the commission rate in each accommodation agreement, and visibility programs may increase it. This worked example uses a possible range of 15% to 25%. If Booking.com facilitates payment, the applicable payment terms and transaction cost are contract-specific. Our 6,9% cost contribution is included in the displayed total and contributes towards Stripe payment fees and refunds. Nothing is added at checkout and nothing is deducted from the owner. Fee models can change, so please check each platform’s current terms. Sources: Airbnb Help Center and Booking.com General Delivery Terms.
About Santa Ponsa
Staying in Santa Ponsa
Santa Ponsa sits on the southwest coast of Mallorca in the Calvià municipality, roughly 20 km from Palma and a short drive from the airport. It grew from a quiet bay into a settled, international resort, popular with British, German and Scandinavian visitors and residents. The core draw is its main beach, a half-kilometre stretch of soft sand in a bay framed by two rocky headlands, with calm, shallow water that suits families. Around it you'll find the Club Nàutic marina, waterfront restaurants and a walkable centre. Golfers head to the Santa Ponsa courses, which have hosted European Tour events. Nightlife exists — bars and music around Ramon de Montcada street — but it's tamer than nearby Magaluf, keeping the tone family-friendly. Late spring through early autumn is best for beach days; shoulder months are milder and quieter. The resort is compact and walkable, but a hire car helps for reaching neighbouring coves, Palma and inland Mallorca.
