Hacienda Del Mar, Pearl Islands

Located on San Jose, the second largest of the Pearl Islands in the middle of the Gulf of Panama, Hacienda del Mar blends island charm with modern comfort. Its setting, surrounded by the azure waters of the Gulf, white sand beaches and the lush triple canopy forest, is idyllic.

Amenities include an attractive restaurant and a fresh water pool, and activities such as water skiing, snorkelling and diving, hiking and trekking, fishing, bird watching, 4-wheel all terrain tours or turtle watching - sea turtles regularly use the beaches for nesting and laying their eggs – are on offer.

Constructed on stilts over the coral reef and crystal waters using traditional methods, natural materials and 21st century eco technology, the lodge is an intimate haven of peace in a pristine, unspoiled natural environment.
