Isla Palenque Panama, A Luxury Beachfront & Rainforest Resort‎

‎Isla Palenque in Panama – VIP Journey’s co-founder Michael Eiseman makes a case for Panama’s re-examination as a luxury destination. Properties such as Isla Palenque in the Gulf of Chiriqui is the first Luxury Beachfront & Rainforest Resort‎ to rival anything in Costa Rica. This is the Cuyuga Collections first endevour into Panama. These are the same eco-lodge masterminds that brought us Lap Rios, Jicaro Island Lodge, Kura Design Villas, Uvita, Latitude 10, The Harmony Hotel and Lake Nicaraqua.

Located in the Gulf of Chiriquí, Panama, Isla Palenque is an undiscovered private island sanctuary. The island’s 160 hectares of lush jungle are framed by 7 untouched beaches, and house a number of wilderness trails and hidden spaces. Every inch is waiting to be explored by guests staying at the barefoot-luxury Beachfront Casitas (mid-2018) and Beachfront Villa Estate.

Sustainability at Isla Palenque

Isla Palenque’s mission is to develop in a manner that respects the island and its natural inhabitants, keeping it wild and pristine as first discovered. The total developed footprint is approximately 5% of the island, with over half of the island kept as a nature reserve. Much of the wooden furniture is made from trees which have fallen naturally on the island, and the Beachfront Casita structures are made from local teak. Many of the ingredients used in
the Resort’s meals are grown on the island.

Location
You can reach Isla Palenque by car from the city of David (Enrique Malek Intl Airport) followed by a short boat transfer.
