Reminiscent of a quaint Mediterranean seaside village, Las Catalinas is a sparkling new beachside community on the northwest Pacific Coast. The charming pedestrian streets are for “walking only” and wind among high-end boutiques, cafes, open-air restaurants, immaculate homes, and a lively Havana-style hotel. Surrounding the town are a couple of classy resorts and 1,200 acres of hillside covered in dry tropical forests with miles of hiking and biking trails. Visitors can choose lodging options ranging from cozy flats to spacious villas and hotel suites. Footsteps away is a calm horseshoe bay inviting snorkeling and paddle boarding while surfers and thrill seekers can choose from several beaches nearby, in addition to horseback riding, canopy tours, and other adventures.
