Cala Ponte Hotel

About

Cala Ponte is a contemporary 5‑star boutique hotel that is part of Marriott’s prestigious Tribute Portfolio collection. Nestled in the historic town of Polignano a Mare in Apulia, the property is surrounded by ancient olive groves and crystal‑clear Adriatic waters, offering guests a harmonious blend of Mediterranean charm and modern luxury. The 58 rooms are spread across the main building and four “island” sections around a central pool, each designed with natural materials, local ceramics and a host of amenities such as Wi‑Fi, 50‑inch HD TVs, safes, electric kettles, air‑conditioning, and a steamer. The balconies and terraces provide private garden or sea views, while the spacious internal spaces maintain a calm and sophisticated ambience. Guests can unwind in the wellness area which includes a large swimming pool, a fitness centre and a spa treatment suite, a perfect retreat for relaxation after a day of exploring the neighbouring cliffs, sea caves and historic old town. Dining comes alive at the on‑site restaurant Hedoné, where regional Apulian cuisine is paired with a carefully curated selection of wines, and the bar offers a cosy setting for cocktails and sun‑set drinks. The entire property is meticulously maintained, from its contemporary architecture that harmonises with traditional Apulian stone to its attentive staff, and its commitment to sustainability reflected in the use of local ingredients and green spaces. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, a family holiday or a business retreat, Cala Ponte provides exceptional service, luxurious comfort and an authentic island experience. The hotel’s close proximity to the town’s historic centre, its picturesque sea views and its lush gardens make it an ideal base for exploring the unique charm of Polignano a Mare and the surrounding Apulia region.
