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.

My partner I researched obsessively over the right choice for the first full week we’ve had in over a year to solely focus on rest, relaxation, and our relationship. With high expectations, we were blown away. From booking, the communication was superior explaining on-site and excursion options, then proceeded to sort the details for us. Given this was a vacation to escape constant day-to-day schedules, we started the week with a full detox treatment– set the tone for the most relaxing, mind-clearing, grounding, and growth we could have never planned. Because of the nearly flawless location, ambiance, amenities, service, and a broad list of options to eat in-room, one of the 3 on-site or local options, we extended. It truly is a wellness retreat with broader appeal, providing, or facilitating, bespoke experiences. We found the prices to be as expected; do watch the bill line items as there are separate resort charges from tips, etc. The food was spectacular across each meal. We can’t wait to visit again but are very appreciative that Cala del Mar is a place for slowing down and losing yourself in the beauty.

This property is the nicest place I have ever been to. The staff is amazing. We felt like celebrities. The view is unbeatable. The only feedback I have is that we wish there was an umbrella on the private terrace to give more shade because during the day it gets so hot.

Cala De Mar is an excellent Resort. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was amazing. I don't recall a single dish we didn't like and they have plenty of Vegan options as well. The in room (on deck) plunge pool were a great addition and easily heated by a quick call to the front desk. The private pools were also kept very clean.
