We recently stayed at Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Iadera in Punta Skala, and it’s safe to say this was one of the most memorable hotel experiences we’ve ever had. The suite we stayed in was simply fabulous, with gorgeous sea views.
The location is absolutely stunning — right by the sea, offering breathtaking views and unforgettable sunsets. Whether you’re sipping coffee in the morning or enjoying a glass of wine in the evening, the scenery is pure magic.
The food was superb, with something to please every palate. During our stay, we had the chance to explore three different restaurants on the property — each one offering a unique experience.
Planika was a delightful surprise: a fun, friendly, family-style spot that felt incredibly local. The steak was especially delicious, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere made it feel like home.
We also dined at Bracera, the seafood restaurant perched above the sea. The views are magical, especially during sunset. Just make sure to book a few days in advance, and if you can, request a table by the water — it’s worth it.
The entire hotel is spotless, from the rooms to the spa/wellness area and pools. We experienced both sunny and rainy days during our stay, which allowed us to enjoy the resort in different ways. There are beautiful paths for walking by the sea, as well as private spots to relax and listen to the waves. You can also bike, ride horses, or simply enjoy the serenity.
The gym is spacious, modern, and very well-equipped, with — of course — more amazing views.
If you’re looking to stay active or indulge in relaxation, the resort offers the best of both worlds. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the incredible staff.
Everyone we encountered was warm, helpful, and genuinely kind - but we have to give a special mention to Emanuel, the manager. He was one of the best we’ve ever met in hospitality. By the time we checked out, it didn’t feel like we were just leaving a hotel — it felt like we were also saying goodbye to new friends. Emanuel made us feel seen, welcomed, and valued, and that made all the difference. And gave us plenty of good recipes to try - Emanuel if you're reading this, I finally made my own granola and it was a success!
Also, a big thank you to the valet, who was professional, attentive, and simply excellent throughout our stay.
We’re already looking forward to coming back — not just for the views and amenities, but to see our new friends again.
Thank you for making our experience so meaningful and memorable.
