Zapallar is one of Chile’s most exclusive coastal towns, nestled among pine forests and dramatic rocky cliffs on the central coast. With its elegant summer homes, scenic walking paths, and small crescent-shaped beach, it has long attracted Chilean elites and artists looking for inspiration and serenity. The town center features stone architecture, fine seafood restaurants like César and Il Paparazzo, and a charming sense of timelessness.
Unlike mass tourism hotspots, Zapallar has preserved its quiet charm and environmental integrity. It’s a short drive from Santiago, making it perfect for weekend getaways or seasonal stays. With strong property values, tasteful urban planning, and a tradition of exclusivity, Zapallar is a refined and deeply rooted place for second-home living.
