History
Cala Ponte sits among centuries-old olive groves a short distance from the whitewashed historic centre of Polignano a Mare, on Puglia's Adriatic coast. The property was originally built in 2014 as a cluster of whitewashed low-rise buildings whose contemporary architecture converses with Apulian tradition.
In June 2025 the resort was relaunched as Cala Ponte, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel by Marriott, the collection's first property in southern Italy, following an investment that upgraded it to five-star status. The 58-room hotel features garden and sea-view rooms and suites, a large lagoon-style pool, a wellness area, and dining at the Hedoné Restaurant and Otium Lounge Bar.
