    panama island resort Isla palenqueThe first phase of our award-winning master planned community is opening in mid-2012, with a boutique hotel, beach amenities, and chic jungle service. Experience the thrill of staying in the tropical jungle without sacrificing an ounce of luxury in our tented eco villas, or soak up beachfront views from our villa suites. With only 16 rooms in all, it's guaranteed that you can find a beach to yourself (we have 12) and hike the jungle nature preserve without seeing a soul.

    island life panamaIsland Life Like Never Before

    Take your morning coffee with sunning iguanas while a chorus of tropical birds sings. Channel your inner explorer as you venture into the old growth forest rising 100ft tall. Feel your heart race as you hook a fish swimming 120 miles per hour and feel it swell as you reach out to touch the hand of an indigenous Ngobe Bugle child. After your Panama adventure, rest your tired hiking legs while savoring a gourmet dinner with island friends. Stand on a private beach and experience peacefulness so deep that the stars align. Fall asleep while breathing fresh island air and listening to the waves.

    Then do it all again tomorrow.

    On Isla Palenque, sustainable tourism doesn't mean roughing it, it means that your tropical passion will be fulfilled as you celebrate jungle life in a contemporary, chic setting at our eco resort. From arrival to adventure, resort attendants will ensure a stimulating and carefree experience, helping you feel personally connected to the island.
