Why Catalina's Hideaway Feels Different
Luxury, to us, has never been about having more. It's about time, space, and the freedom to enjoy what matters most.
With just 11 private casitas, each with its own character, the Hideaway feels like a world of its own. Winding paths lead through tropical gardens to open-air spaces for gathering, dining, and slowing down, all set between the jungle and the Pacific.
There's room here for the moments you planned your trip around, and the ones you never saw coming.

Our Story: From Boardrooms to Beaches
We couldn't find the place we were looking for, so we left Toronto and built it ourselves. What began as a search for a different kind of life became Catalina's Hideaway: a family-owned hotel shaped by years of travel, a love of nature, and the belief that hospitality should always feel personal.
