Venue Setting

Nestled between surf-destination Santa Teresa to the north and the Cabo Blanco Nature Preserve to the south, Mal Pais is quaint, tranquil, and gorgeous. Santa Teresa has seen a recent influx in restaurants and businesses, while Mal Pais itself, where your Casa Chameleon villa is located, remains as it has been for years. Costa Rican Blue Zones are alive and thriving.

When you arrive at Casa Chameleon, you’ll notice that we’re among only a handful of hotels in Mal Pais. This helps you avoid the feel of being in a “tourist destination,” and it contributes to one overwhelming sensation: you are experiencing something rare–something special, old world, and true.

Venue Features
The scene:
Mal Pais is an adults-only retreat tucked away in the jungle of Costa Rica. It embodies privacy, and no two villas are the same. Access requires an adventurous 4×4 drive, but once you’re in Mal Pais you’ll find a quirky little beach town with just the right blend of locals, surfers, yoginis, and barefoot wanderers. Located in one of the world’s seven Blue Zones, Mal Pais is recognized as one of the healthiest places in the world.

We can’t talk about Mal Pais without talking about the people. From the local markets and fishermen to the chefs and hotel staff, you will not leave Mal Pais without first gleaning some of the lifestyle habits that makes Mal Pais residents some of the longest-lived and healthiest people in the world. The Nicoya Peninsula, a Blue Zone, is home to Mal Pais, and the longevity of its residents is a point of scientific fascination. This perfectly describes just what we mean when we say: Mal Pais is special and different.
Extra perks:
Round tables
