The house
HyattCaldera thermal estate
Life here revolves around the volcanic crater, dividing days between high-altitude mountain trails and deep subterranean bathhouses.
“Hotel La Compañia del Valle, a Tuscan retreat–inspired hotel in Panama, is home to just 70 rooms and suites and an 18,000-square-foot Elysium Spa”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Subterranean Roman thermal baths and sensory deprivation pools beneath La India Dormida.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
The style of the resort is inspired by classic Tuscan villas, but the rugged interior of Panama is... the more dramatic of the two landscapes.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The ridgeline of La India Dormida rises overhead, with hiking trails climbing toward the peaks of Cerro Gaital.
The rooms
Spacious rooms open onto private balconies, and many look straight toward the caldera's volcanic ridges.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Two courtyard swimming pools overlook the caldera, one heated and the other arranged around a sunken firepit lounge.
The Roman baths
Groin-vaulted brick ceilings and stone columns shelter the underground Roman baths, with loungers lining the thermal pool.
The spa
Treatments at Elysium Spa use local Geisha coffee and cacao wraps, with rooms dedicated to hot stone rituals.
At the table
Fuego cooks over open charcoal, and Terra serves Mediterranean vegetarian menus. The stone wine cellar hosts private tastings.
How it began
The site once housed Hotel Los Mandarinos, completely rebuilt as the countryside counterpart to its sister hotel in Panama City.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
