FAQ’s
What is La Cala’s dress code?
La Cala Resort is a sports and leisure complex, so sports and casual wear are fine. However, for the comfort and enjoyment of all guests, we do ask that you wear shoes and shirts/tops at all times in public areas of the hotel. A specific golf dress code applies to La Cala Golf courses. Click here for details.
Do I need a car at La Cala Resort?
A minibus service operates from the hotel to the golf academy. However we strongly recommend you hire a car, both for your own convenience and so you can easily visit the surrounding beaches, countryside and towns. For more information about car hire, please contact reception.
