Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas

Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas, one of Costa Rica’s most celebrated luxury boutique hotels, announces the official launch of Casa Chameleon Branded Residences, an exclusive collection of four five-bedroom private villas perched above the Pacific Ocean in Guanacaste. Available for guest bookings starting this month for stays beginning January 1, 2027, the residences mark a significant expansion of the Casa Chameleon experience, introducing a new way for families, multigenerational travelers, and groups of friends to enjoy the privacy of a luxury home with the personalized service of a Two Michelin Key hotel and renowned Relais & Châteaux member.

Located on a scenic ridgeline overlooking the car-free coastal town of Las Catalinas, the four residences offer a compelling alternative to traditional luxury hotel accommodations, bringing together expansive living spaces, contemporary architecture, and uninterrupted Pacific Ocean views. Each three-level villa features five en-suite bedrooms accommodating up to 10 guests, a private oceanview plunge pool, rooftop garden, multiple furnished terraces, and generous indoor-outdoor entertaining spaces. Ranging from 6,441 to 6,544 square feet of total built space, the residences are designed for travelers seeking the freedom to gather, entertain, and experience Costa Rica at their own pace.

The launch reflects growing demand for private villa accommodations that combine residential-style living with the amenities and services of an established luxury hospitality brand. Unlike conventional vacation rentals, Casa Chameleon Branded Residences are fully managed and serviced by the team at Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas, giving guests access to dedicated concierge services, preferred dining reservations, personalized experiences, and the hotel’s acclaimed hospitality.

“Today’s luxury travelers increasingly want the space, privacy, and flexibility of a private home without sacrificing the exceptional service they expect from a world-class hotel,” said Marcela Romero, General Manager of Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas. “With just four residences, we’re introducing an intimate new experience that allows families and friends to come together, enjoy Costa Rica on their own terms, and have every detail of their stay taken care of by our team.”

Designed by Org Architects, the four residences reflect a contemporary approach to coastal architecture that places Costa Rica’s natural beauty at the forefront. Expansive glass walls, open-plan interiors, and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces frame sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding tropical landscape. Custom designer furnishings, natural materials, rich textures, and a sophisticated palette of neutral tones create an atmosphere of relaxed luxury, while rooftop gardens, private plunge pools, and multiple terraces encourage guests to embrace the region’s year-round outdoor lifestyle. The result is a collection of thoughtfully designed homes that balance modern elegance with the laid-back spirit of Las Catalinas.

The five-bedroom layout offers flexibility for families and groups, including a main-level bedroom with its own separate entrance for added privacy. Additional features include walk-in closets, high-speed Wi-Fi, dedicated laundry facilities, and private garage parking.

Guests enjoy a dedicated concierge to coordinate restaurant reservations, and activities, along with shuttle service to the town and beach, valet service, and 24-hour security. Additional services, including private chefs, grocery stocking, in-residence spa treatments, childcare, and luxury transportation, can be arranged for an additional charge.

Residence guests also have access to Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas’ celebrated dining experiences, including Sentido Norte, known for its sweeping Pacific views and contemporary Costa Rican cuisine; La Pampa Grill & Bar, specializing in open-fire cooking; and Grotto 12, offering private dining and tastings. Hotel amenities are available subject to applicable age restrictions.

Beyond the residences, guests can immerse themselves in the lifestyle of Las Catalinas, a walkable, car-free beach town on Costa Rica’s northern Pacific coast that has emerged as a destination for outdoor adventure, wellness, and community-focused travel.

Each residence stay includes complimentary access to the Las Catalinas Doorway Program, connecting guests with the town’s recreational and wellness offerings, including tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, daily wellness classes, and community events.

Surrounded by more than 1,000 acres of protected tropical forest, Las Catalinas offers over 80 kilometers of hiking and mountain-biking trails, two protected Pacific bays for water sports, and access to horseback riding, sailing, and other outdoor adventures. Guests can also explore the area’s evolving wellness scene, including longevity-focused treatments and biohacking therapies at the Center of Joy.

Located approximately 45 minutes from Guanacaste’s Liberia International Airport, the residences offer convenient access to the region while maintaining a sense of seclusion above the coastline.

The introduction of the branded residences builds on Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas’ international reputation for intimate luxury hospitality. The 21-villa boutique hotel is a member of Relais & Châteaux and holds Two Michelin Keys, recognizing its exceptional hospitality experience. Its distinctive architecture, private plunge pools, acclaimed culinary offerings, and dramatic coastal setting have earned recognition from leading international travel publications.

With only four residences available, the new offering brings Casa Chameleon’s personalized approach to hospitality into a larger, residential setting, creating a new option for milestone celebrations, family reunions, extended vacations, and private group escapes.
