Why Catalina's Hideaway Feels Different
It's hard to describe until you've experienced it.
Maybe it's waking to the sounds of the jungle, lingering over chef-prepared meals as great music drifts through the Hideaway, or realizing you don't need an itinerary to have an incredible day. Whether you're surfing, exploring Coiba National Park, practicing yoga, paddleboarding, spotting wildlife, or simply slowing down, the days unfold naturally here.
However you spend your days, we've never believed luxury is about having more. We believe it's about having the time, the space, and the freedom to enjoy what matters most.
And maybe that's what makes Catalina's Hideaway feel different. When life slows down and there's finally space to breathe, something shifts. The Hideaway stops feeling like a destination and starts feeling like home—not because it's familiar, but because you feel like you belong, exactly where you're meant to be.
From the moment you arrive, we'll take care of the details—so you can focus on what matters most.

Sobremesa
Good food. Great music. Even better company.
Named after the Spanish tradition of lingering around the table long after a meal has ended, Sobremesa is the heart of Catalina's Hideaway. It's where fresh, locally inspired cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, curated playlists, and meaningful conversation come together—inviting you to slow down, stay a little longer, and savor the moment.
It Was All A Dream... (We Used To Read Travel Magazines)
For years, we searched for that rare place—the kind you stumble upon while traveling and instantly know you've found something special. Surrounded by nature, filled with great food, great music, and unhurried days, it was the kind of place that made you want to stay just a little longer.
Eventually, we realized the place we were looking for was one we wanted to create ourselves.
Leaving behind our careers in Toronto's financial district, we traded boardrooms for beaches and took a leap of faith.
Today, Catalina's Hideaway is that dream brought to life—an intimate beachfront hotel where families reconnect, friends celebrate, couples unwind, and guests from around the world feel right at home.
