The Resort at Isla Palenque is an award-winning development that promises to tread lightly upon the island while still providing owners with a sumptuous lifestyle in the tropical jungle.
Development will be concentrated on the coasts of the gorgeous island property. Approximately 60% of the island, over 220 acres, will remain a nature preserve allowing visitors and guests to explore the wonders of the island on ten miles of jungle and coastal trails. A marina and yacht club will provide sailboats, kayaks and catamarans to explore the surrounding Pacific. The residences at Isla Palenque will express an appreciation of the island’s magnificence by blurring the boundaries between beautiful island real estate and its wild, natural setting.
Isla Palenque intends to raise the bar for Panama real estate by offering more than gorgeous island homes in an incomparable setting: The West Paces Hotel Group will provide personalized services and boundless amenities, like gourmet meals with ingredients from the organic farm, an expansive infinity pool that melts into the Gulf, and invigorating massages with natural botanicals.
The Resort at Isla Palenque offers three different home types:
Casitas are sophisticated, semi-detached homes just steps from the ocean. Effortlessly integrated with the island’s luxurious amenities, Casita life give you an immersed-in-nature experience while still making it easy for you to take part in fun and activity of this laid back island community. Owning a Casita will feel like having your own deluxe suite at your favorite exotic hotel always reserved for you.
Canopy Homes are a chic interpretation of secluded jungle living. Perched in the treetops, you’ll have a monkey’s-eye-view of life in the forest canopy and of the stunning ocean beyond. The forest floor remains largely untouched by your homes suspended above it, and the land’s natural slope minimizes the need for stairs. The Canopy Home allows you to regain the wonder-filled, carefree life you once had in your childhood tree-house.
Villa Estates inhabit individual private lots where the jungle meets the coast, each one is intimately connected to its unique surroundings and carefully placed to integrate trees and boulders, capture breezes and celebrate fabulous ocean views. And no two Villa Estates are alike. In addition to being individually sited by our architects, components can be added or exchanged to fir your needs and your lifestyle.
