About

Catalina’s Hideaway is an eco-aware beachfront space with great music, food and flow. Our luxurious casitas & treehouse are nestled on 2.5 acres of pristine coastline; where the jungle meets the ocean. We are on the way to the popular surf and dive town of Santa Catalina, but also hidden where travellers can immerse themselves in the undisturbed nature of Panama. Our open air restaurant & bar, “Sobremesa”, highlights a farm-to-table philosophy and features an array of cocktails and snacks for your enjoyment at our beachfront lounge or infinity pool. The beaches, surrounding islands, and snorkelling are pretty rad too, if that’s what you’re into.

Owners, Ryan and Anthea, are ex-bankers turned boutique hotel owners. As avid travelers with two young kids, they've always loved the ease of all-inclusive travel —but found it lacked experiencing the beauty and culture of the country they were visiting. That’s why they created Catalina’s Hideaway: a place where your family’s “all-inclusive” is tailored entirely to you. From the meals on your table to the adventures on your itinerary (surf, snorkel, diving, birding, whale watching—or sunsets and nights out in Santa Catalina with local families and guides), nothing is one-size-fits-all. Our hotel is designed to help your family reconnect - with each other, with nature, and with the joy of slowing down.  Wake up to the sound of waves, explore Panama’s rich culture, hidden beaches, and lush nature, or simply relax in our private oasis where there’s room to roam and play. Here, you’re never just another guest—you’re part of the story.
