There is no direct bus from the airport to Santa Ponsa. Public transport requires taking the airport bus to Palma city centre (Plaça d'Espanya) and then connecting with TIB line 104 towards Santa Ponsa — a transfer with waiting time and all your luggage that can easily exceed 60–75 minutes total.
Shared Shuttle
Some tour operators include shared shuttles between the airport and Santa Ponsa hotels as part of their holiday packages. The per-person price can be attractive, but the vehicle stops at several hotels and total journey time increases considerably. Availability for independent bookings is very limited.
