Experiences

All in a Day’s Play, Rest & Work.

Kids are allowed, they say. Truthfully, they’re frowned upon. And bare feet in the lobby? Someone call security!

At Cala Luna, we take a wider, wilder, more relaxed approach. Naturally, shoes have always been and will always be optional. This is the land of Pura Vida, after all.

Here, kids are always welcome. The whole family is always welcome. Traveling professionals are welcome to blend work, leisure and adventure in ways their parents’ generation never dreamed of.

Experience gastronomy and apothecary cocktails with ingredients grown on our organic farm and prepared by innovative hands. Ziplining. Surfing. Fishing. Horseback riding. Yoga, meditation, mindfulness. Sunset cocktails. Inspiration. Peace.

Whoever you are and whatever is on your punch list, we’re here to help you plan unforgettable experiences in paradise. Read on to browse our offerings, or contact us to plan your adventures today.

Work from Paradise

Calling All Nomads Webleisure: Business Plus Leisure to the Power of Wellness
What if your best ideas came while snorkeling, sipping a cocktail by the pool or paddling to catch the next wave instead of inching your way through traffic?

Rhythms of work, play, and rest have shifted, and so can you. Work from anywhere is fast becoming the standard for knowledge workers. “Bleisure,” or business meets leisure, is on the rise. We love to see it, and we can’t help but add our own unique spin on this evolution, with wellness woven into every detail.
On Monday, your office could be a hammock in the shade, on the beach, a stone’s throw from the ocean. A late morning treatment at Lahari Spa refreshes and turbo-charges you for the afternoon sprint. Your seat for Tuesday’s all-hands meeting might be a comfy poolside chaise – ice-cold herbal infusion included.

Here you will:

  • Reboot the quality of your work through a total change of environment. 
  • Host board or sales meetings in an idyllic environment and watch the team’s brightest ideas naturally bubble up to the surface.
  • Find the perfect place for your team-building retreat with everything your crew could want. Surf lessons, horseback rides and farm-to-table dinners at La Senda, to name just a few highlights. 
  • Find plenty of space in our open-air pavilion for meetings, plenty of solitude for focused work in your room and plenty of unstructured time for soaking up the sun and surf.
  • Enjoy inspiring walks through the dry tropical forest and along the beach, allowing new ideas to percolate.
  • Feel the rat-race tension melt away through massage and signature spa services that heal and soothe body, mind and soul.   
  • Rethink your expectations of “brain food” with organic, five-star cuisine that’s as healthy as it is delicious.

We do our part to create a webleisure environment that helps you excel and recharge in every way. As far as we’re concerned, how you choose to unlock productivity in paradise is the only call you’ll have to make.
