Casa Chameleon Las Catalinas
Papagayo & Guanacaste · Costa Rica
A sense of the place
Why it's in the collection
Because a tiny planned town on Costa Rica's north-west coast — designed to accentuate the views, to do without cars and to leave the wilderness alone — is the perfect venue for the second Casa Chameleon, and the formula from the Nicoya original works at least as well here: an adults-only villa of your own, clean and modern and romantic enough for a honeymoon, a canopied bed, an infinity-edged plunge pool and a minibar of Costa Rican snacks, ideal for two and no hardship for one.
- In the car-free beach town of Las Catalinas on the Guanacaste coast; independent house, adults only.
- Spacious, sustainably built villas with private terraces, saltwater plunge pools and hammocks facing the ocean, carved wood, cool tile and light-filled bathrooms; the town's trails and beaches on foot; the restaurant and the pool.
- Two MICHELIN Keys in the 2025 selection; holds four-star standing.
