A luxurious perch on one of Sicily's most captivating coastlines where two worlds - and two star ratings - collide in spectacular fashion. Nestled in the Caldura bay just a stone's throw from Cefalù's UNESCO-protected historic centre, this boutique resort has been beguiling visitors for over half a century. The Mediterranean architecture follows the natural contours of the coastline, with whitewashed buildings that tumble down the rocky slopes towards the crystalline waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The accommodation ranges from elegant rooms to suites and private villas, all decorated in a bright, contemporary style that incorporates authentic Sicilian touches. At Le Calette N°5, the rooms combine fine materials, natural fabrics and eighteenth-century furnishings with Sicilian ceramics - a tasteful marriage of design and tradition. Le Calette Bay's accommodations capture the many shades of Sicily with their comfortable ambiance, family heirloom pieces, and details celebrating authentic island life. Modern amenities abound, from air conditioning and complimentary Wi-Fi to minibars and room service, while many rooms boast balconies or terraces with garden or sea views. For families, spacious family rooms provide ample space for everyone to spread out in comfort.
The divine dining options. With the Michelin-starred Cala Luna offering waterfront fine dining with an open kitchen (watching Sicilian master chefs at work is rather magical), and plenty of delectable alternatives, foodies will be in absolute heaven.
Opt for a room at Le Calette N°5, the five-star wing, for a truly elevated experience. The iconic pool surrounded by elegant suites and exclusive cabanas delivers the ultimate in Mediterranean luxury.
While the hotel offers a shuttle service, you'll want to hire a car if you're planning to explore beyond Cefalù, as the property sits 2km from the town centre.
