Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas
Wellness
What We Love
Where crystal clear waters and tropical greens collide. The secluded resort is perched high on the hilltop above Las Catalinas, a storybook town loved for its cosmopolitan atmosphere. Each of the 21 private villas has a modern minimalist vibe that welcomes summer year-round. The beds face out toward the pool so the ocean is the first thing you wake up to every morning. Something to note, there is no direct path from the hotel to the beach so a complimentary shuttle service is available to whisk you to and from the beach. For those enthralled by cocktails, in-house mixologists are on-the-ready to teach you how to craft signature cocktails. For those curious to learn more about Costa Rican cuisine you can work side-by-side with the world-class chef to create the best of local Costa Rican cuisine. Each cooking lesson includes one glass of house wine, by the way.
Spa
Coming to Casa Chameleon is a rite of relaxation on its own. But there is no on-site spa so the hotel brings the spa experience to the privacy of your villa with pampering couples massages, deep tissue massages, body wraps and scrubs. Choose your best reset: massages to banish stress, release muscle tension, recover fully or holistic therapy. The body treatments rescue your skin with botanical, aromatic scrubs and masques for maximum exfoliation and hydration. The treatments are sure to transcend and that blissed-out feeling will linger long after, guaranteed.
Activities
The Las Catalinas area makes for easy excursions. If you look to the sea from Casa Chameleon, the Pacific stretches in every direction and beckons with countless activities. In addition to nightly ocean sunsets from your villa, you can also explore the ocean’s surface and depth by day. Beaches, swells and warm waters make for fantastic swimming, snorkeling, diving, kayaking, paddleboarding and more. Turning your gaze inland, you’ll find over 1,000 acres of tropical forest, hills and valleys to explore on foot, bike, horseback or zipline. Another must-do experience is a visit to a coffee plantation. Costa Rica produces some of the best coffee in the world. Learn everything from seed to bean to cup with an in-depth excursion to a working farm.
Culinary Highlights
Sentido Norte started with a simple mission: to provide the very best of authentic Costa Rican cuisine to the adventurous souls who find themselves on the Guanacaste coast. The menu focuses on sea-and farm-to-table ingredients, sustainably sourced from local fishermen and farmers. Guests get a choice of à la carte breakfast with options such as smoothies, overnight oats, gallo pinto and avocado toast. The bar sets the bar high, so to speak. With the unrivaled combination of ocean views and a sunset happy hour that is, well, happy, there’s no better place to end your day and begin your night. Eating Costa Rican cuisine is an out-of-this-world delight, but learning to cook it for yourself is a pleasure unto its own. Work side-by-side with their world-class chef to create the best of local Costa Rican cuisine, and afterward enjoy everything you’ve learned to cook. Each cooking lesson includes one glass of house wine.
