Rooms & Suites: 4 Bungalow Suites
Calala Island, named one of "The 10 Best Private islands in the World," is nestled in the undiscovered part of the Caribbean, off the coast of Nicaragua.
Experience barefoot luxury in a pristine paradise with a team of 25 Calala-lalas (also known in some parts of the world as "staff") for a maximum of 8 guests. They ensure your every desire is met, seamlessly. Each of the four bungalow suites were designed by leading architect Matthew Falkiner, and carefully created with you in mind. Located directly along the beach and with the finest handcrafted Nicaraguan furnishings, each suite perfectly marries you with your tropical surroundings. With only four suites on the entire 9.5 acre island, complete privacy comes as standard, as does waking up to the birds tweeting at sunrise and to the sunset that must be seen to be believed. The Caribbean and fine dining is rarely a match to be seen, but at Calala Island they take their food seriously. Executive Chef, Lorne Emerson, comes from Le Pre Catalan, a 3 Michelin Starred restaurant in Paris -- it is worth traveling here just for the food!
