An intimate beachfront hideaway on Panama's Pacific coast near Santa Catalina

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.
