Chalet Tropical

Las Galeras


An Italian stylist is the big personality behind these rustic-chic A-frames, some broken into rooms, others open plan and all with creatively fashioned plunge pools. They boast a striking range of colors and unique interior details such as stone showers, coconut and bamboo wood accents, and all manner of creative combinations. Several offered on a per-room basis with shared common areas.

All the huge chalets are split-level, with full kitchens and ample living space; security on the private premises is a priority. The chalets are tucked away down a residential street across from BanReservas, a 10-minute walk from both Playita beach and the center of town.
