ABOUT

The Setting

Nestled in the hillside above the Mal Pais hotel, OCiO is an entity all on its own, offering 3 spacious villas for a romantic getaway or tropical adventure. The luxury estate is designed as the premier location of the Casa Chameleon property, with unparalleled views of the Pacific, open-air master bedrooms and bathrooms, and salt water infinity pools.

Sleep and Sanctuary

Each of the 3 private Villas available, the Villa Nimbu, Villa Numu, and Villa Naktu offer unique experiences overlooking the Pacific ocean. Each villa is perched high on the lush tropical mountainside, just a 10-minute ATV ride from the main Mal Pais grounds. Once atop the mountain, you'll find the views extend as far as the eye can see, and the open-air villas are elegantly crafted and curated, nestled gently into the green hills. Each villa is outfitted with king-size beds, sun-filled outdoor spaces, satellite television, professional chef services, open air living rooms, and beautiful indoor and outdoor dining rooms with waterfalls and fountains.

Eat. Pray. Eat.

Luxury and privacy are what you're seeking, and OCiO makes sure that exactly this happens. Each villa at OCiO is paired with a private chef who, with incredible adeptness, can carefully curate the freshest sea and farm-to-table arrangements for you and your guests. The residents of Mel Pais live longer than anywhere on Earth –and scientists believe this has to do with the quality of the food.

The Art of De-Stressing

Unwinding has never been easier. With access to your own private oasis, in-house spa and dining services, and a slew of high-class amenities, your stay is sure to be as magical as it is restful.
