Amazing Spa Experience

The spa at Cala de Mar is simply very nice. I had the chance to enjoy a couple of treatments there, and I was amazed by the calming atmosphere and the quality of the services. It felt so luxurious to have the spa to myself a couple of times during my stay. It was the perfect place to unwind and recharge during my vacation.

Delicious Dining Options

During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at both restaurants at Cala de Mar. The seafood was always fresh and flavorful, and even though one restaurant was closed for a bit, the staff was more than happy to let us order off that menu. I particularly enjoyed the fish tacos at the pool—definitely a highlight of my meals!

Luxurious Room Amenities

The room was a dream! I upgraded to a deluxe room with a private plunge pool and a beautiful balcony. The view was amazing, and spending my mornings by the pool was a slice of paradise. With large bathroom spaces and all the amenities, it felt very spacious and relaxing every time I returned after a day of exploring.

Hassle-Free Parking

Getting to Cala de Mar was super easy, and I appreciated the hassle-free parking. It was great knowing I could drive to nearby attractions and return without any worries. The check-in process was smooth, and I felt relaxed from the very beginning of my stay.

Cala de Mar is a beautiful resort that offers breathtaking views, top-notch amenities, and amazing food. The staff truly goes above and beyond to make your stay special. While the dining options are good, they could use a bit more variety, especially for extended stays. The absence of a swimmable beach is a downside, but the overall experience makes it an exceptional getaway.

Cala de Mar is a stunning cliffside retreat that offers beautiful views and spacious suites with private plunge pools, making it a perfect place for relaxation. The service is exceptional, which adds to the luxurious feel of the resort.
