Cala Ponte Hotel provides a private marina reserved for guest leisure activities, including boat trips and water access. The property features two outdoor swimming pools: a larger lagoon-style pool and a quieter upper pool reserved for adults. Guests can also use the tennis court, which comes with tennis equipment, and join walking tours or local culture classes organized by the hotel.
Rooms
Each of the 54 rooms at Cala Ponte is air conditioned and includes a flat-screen TV, with select rooms offering a terrace or balcony. Some units are semi-detached garden bungalows with private patios, providing direct access to the extensive gardens planted with ancient olive trees. The rooms are cleaned daily, and complimentary non-alcoholic beverages and water are replenished each day.
Dining
The on-site restaurant serves dinner with a menu focused on local cuisine, using ingredients sourced from the Apulia region. Breakfast is a buffet with hot and cold options, including fresh fruit and artisan coffee, available each morning. A poolside bar offers lunch and drinks during the day, and the hotel bar serves cocktails and wine in the evening.

The spa also offers waxing services, manicures, and pedicures, with a separate relaxation area reserved for spa guests.
