Panama is an awesome vacation destination and we've found a fantastic new resort in the area.It's secluded, surrounded by nature, on the beach and people absolutely love it here!

Isla Panama Beach

What Is This Great New Resort?

Well, first let me tell you some key features about it.

-> It's on an exclusive private island.

-> It's an intimate  luxury resort.

-> 5 Star

-> It's surrounded by 400 acres of jungle.

This resort is called Isla Palenque.

It's an amazingly tranquil spot surrounded by unspoiled nature and pristine beaches. 

(If you're curious, go check out what people are saying about it here.)

Location: Panama

You'll find Isla Palenque on the Pacific side of Panama in the Gulf of Chiriqui. It's quite close to the  Gulf of Chiriqui National Marine Park and outside of the small fishing village Boca Chica.

Looking at the map below, you can see that it is quite a distance from Panama City.

But don't be scared off by the distance!

The resort has worked out how to easily get you to them.

To get to Isla Palenque:

1. Fly into or go to  Tocumen International Airport (Panama City).

2. Then fly to Enrique Malek Airport in David (it's about an hour flight). The resort will pick you up here.

3. Resort takes you to Boca Chica - about an hour by car.

4. From Boca Chica it's a  15 minute boat ride to Isla Palenque.

If you're coming in from Costa Rica, they will help you with that as well. 

Past guests have noted how great this luxury resort in Panama is at arranging travel - which can be quite reassuring for some to read.
