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.

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.
