A small island in front of the restaurant is connected by a suspension-bridge and houses the spa and sun-set deck. The surrounding beach on the bay has a swimming-platform in the ocean and on the beach are sun chairs and kayaks available.

Cala Mia is only accessible by a lovely boat ride of about 15 minutes through the breathtaking marine park and waterways of this region. Uncountable little islands are passed on the way before docking at the private floating dock, which holds up to 10 boats. The hotel owns two boats; a 26 foot, 250 hp luxury taxi boat for up to 10 passengers and a 12 foot, 15hp dinghy, which are included in the sale.

The entire hotel is solar powered with a 4000 Watts inverter that converts the direct current to an alternating 110 Watts. A silent back-up diesel generator of 7Kw provides electricity automatically in case of over-demand or shortage of sunlight. Water is provided for by its own well; a second well is on the premises as reserve.
