The setting of the holiday town of Costa de la Calma is superb, with rolling green hills rolling down to the rocky coastline and the clear blue Mediterranean waters of Santa Ponça bay. Located in south west Mallorca, the area is convenient for main transport routes, and is only about 30 kms from the airport and perhaps 20 kms from the capital of the Balearics, Palma de Mallorca. The resoundingly named Iberostar Suites Hotel Jardín del Sol is right on the edge of the sea, with sweeping views of sea and coast. There’s no sand beach at the hotel – you can scramble down to the rocks – but the wide sandy beach at Santa Ponça is just a short distance away.
