Isla Palenque Private Island Resort

Despite Isla Palenque’s remote location, guests enjoy modern amenities like wi-fi and iPads, air conditioning, a jungle-shrouded swimming pool with sun beds, yoga mats & meditation cushions, kayaks & paddleboards, and spa & wellness services.

Beachfront dining is an everyday experience at Isla Palenque, guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Las Rocas open-air restaurant & bar. The menus rotate seasonally and honor Panama’s culinary traditions through locally sourced produce, hormone-free meat and poultry, and sustainably-caught seafood. With a mix of tropical cuisine and international classics, there is something on the menu for every type of traveler.

Active travelers can hike along the island’s nature trails, explore the coast by kayak or paddleboard, or snorkel around dozens of untouched islands in the surrounding Chiriqui National Marine Park. Nature lovers should consider visiting Isla Palenque from August – October, when Humpback whales migrate to the area’s warm Pacific waters.

Beachfront Casitas at Isla Palenque

Isla Palenque’s 8 Beachfront Casitas sit on the West side of the island, just 50 feet from the beach. The “indoor-outdoor living” concept, exemplified by the open-air lounge areas and soaking tubs, create an eco-chic vibe in each casita. Guests enjoy in-room amenities like French press coffee & specialty teas, specially selected mini bar items, cotton robes, organic toiletries, re-usable water bottles, binoculars & field guides, and daily housekeeping. 

Each Beachfront Casita offers 1 King bed and is recommended for 2 adults, though 2 adults + 2 children can be accommodated by adding extra bedding (subject to availability).

Beachfront Villa Estate at Isla Palenque

Located in a secluded location on the island, the 6-bedroom Beachfront Villa Estate is the ideal choice for families, groups, and special occasions. This spacious jungle hideaway overlooks Playa Primera beach and features a private infinity pool. Guests enjoy home-style breakfasts, a-la-carte lunches in the afternoon, and multi-course dinners prepared fresh each night.

The villa’s 4 Garden and Jungle rooms each offer 1 queen bed and rainforest views. The 2 Ocean Suites feature a King bed, with the possibility to add an extra bed for a 3^rd guest. Much of the villa’s wooden furniture is made from native trees from the island, honoring the resort’s commitment to sustainable tourism practices.
