My husband and I were looking for a private, quiet, relaxing stay that would allow us to decompress from our hectic jobs. Cala de Mar allowed us to do that with its beautiful vistas from our own private suite/plunge pool and massages. They even arranged our transportation and gave us bookable activity options during our stay. The staff are very friendly and took care of us while respecting our privacy. If you’re looking for excellent service, peace and relaxation, we highly recommend Cala de Mar.

Desde nuestra llegada, el trato del personal fue excepcional: muy amables, atentos y siempre con una sonrisa. Las instalaciones del hotel son preciosas, todo está muy bien cuidado y decorado con mucho gusto. Me sorprendieron con un hermoso detalle por mi cumpleaños: decoraron la cama con flores y me felicitaron de forma muy especial. La alberca privada fue uno de los grandes puntos a favor: disfrutarla con esa vista espectacular al mar fue simplemente mágico. Aunque no hay playa como tal, hay un área donde puedes sentarte a escuchar el sonido de las olas, lo cual resultó increíblemente relajante. Sin duda, un lugar al que me encantaría volver.

This hotel really is something special. Beautifully designed and maintained property, built against a cliff-side with crashing surf right below. Breathtaking ocean views from every room. Private sun deck and plunge pool in room. Friendly and professional staff make you feel immediately welcome and look after your every need. Excellent restaurants and spa on site. Even the gym is spotless with a fantastic view. Would strongly recommend to the discerning traveller looking for something a little more classy.
