It's a combination of absorption and evaporation. The surface the puddle is on is likely to be porous - thus some water will drain away. The surface area of a puddle is quite large - in relation to the amount of water in it. This means that heat from the sun - even a small amount - is enough to allow water to evaporate.

A puddle of water will disappear due to evaporation. On a windy day, wet washing will soon dry as the water is evaporated away, as will the puddle.
