THE LOCATION
Las Catalinas incorporates the principles of New Urbanism where human connection and environmentalism are priorities in the design. This concept is accomplished with public plazas, automobile-free streets, shopping boulevards, restaurants, work/study spaces, and marketplaces. Without cars filling the streets, Las Catalinas’ residents enjoy an old-time sense of community, a rarity today.
Because Las Catalinas was designed at scale for biking and walking, homes and buildings efficiently use space and topography. A walk through town may render thoughts of Antigua in the Caribbean, Casco Viejo in Panama, or Vernazza on the Italian coastline. Of the 1,200 acres encompassing Las Catalinas, only 200 acres are planned for development. The remaining 1000 acres of forest are home to exotic birds, howler monkeys, iguanas, and the odd wild cat.
Within the reserve, you’ll find thirty-five kilometers of hiking paths and varying degrees of mountain bike trails offering panoramic ocean views. If you’re into water recreation, you’ll love the crystalline waters offshore for snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, bodysurfing, and more. Las Catalinas is an outdoor athlete’s sanctuary with multiple yearly events that gets the whole town involved.
THE PROPERTY
Positioned at one of the highest points in Las Catalinas, this architectural residence offers panoramic views of the Pacific and a layout designed to elevate every part of daily life. The main home features 5 bedrooms across multiple levels, with distinct spaces for family, guests, and entertaining.
The third floor serves as the heart of the home, with a spacious open-concept living area, ocean-facing terrace, infinity-edge pool, and a private gym with sea views. The upper level is dedicated to rest and connection, featuring a primary suite with sweeping views, a family lounge, and two additional bedrooms, each with its own en-suite and balcony.
On the second level, you’ll find a full guest suite, a kids’ wing, a large game room, and a wine cellar designed for slow evenings and celebration alike.
The entry level includes a grand double-door entrance, a private one-bedroom caretaker’s suite, and a garage with space for up to six vehicles—plus additional storage for gear, bikes, or beach essentials.
An independent 3-bedroom guest house sits just next door, offering privacy and flexibility for hosting or extended stays.
Set in Las Catalinas, this home is surrounded by world-class biking trails, two swimmable beaches, and a vibrant town built for barefoot connection to nature.
Casa Santorini is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle rooted in design, freedom, and a deep sense of place.
