Mariato, Torio, Morrillo, Azuero Peninsula, Veraguas

More photos and videos coming soon.

Set on a dramatic headland between Torio and Morrillo, this purpose-built lodge overlooks one of the most striking coastlines on the Azuero Peninsula. The buildings sit on a commanding, elevated point with wide ocean views and a direct connection to the quiet cove below.

Intended for commercial operation and newly built, it has remained a single-family residential home. The infrastructure, finishes, and layout are in place so a new owner can step in, complete any final business setup, and begin hosting guests.

The fishing - why anglers go wild here

• Immediate access to structure - Points, reefs, and the twin rock islands of Los Islotes create current breaks and bait-holding ledges right off the property. Inshore action for big snapper, grouper, roosterfish, sierra, and amberjack starts minutes from the ramp.

• Nearshore and offshore range - Productive bluewater is within easy striking distance for yellowfin tuna, dorado, wahoo, and seasonal billfish. With the right boat and weather, day trips to Cebaco or the waters influenced by Coiba’s marine reserve open up even more options.

• Spearfishing quality - Clear-water days and complex volcanic formations make this coastline one of the most compelling spearfishing areas on Panama’s Pacific side.

• Launch and recovery made simple - A private ramp drops to a naturally protected cove that reduces swell and makes putting boats in and out more manageable. The layout supports quick turnarounds for morning and afternoon runs.

• A complete guest experience - Dramatic scenery, wildlife, and empty coves add the sense of adventure many anglers travel for. Non-anglers can surf nearby breaks like Morrillo, swim and beachcomb in the coves, or enjoy boat tours to Cebaco and the UNESCO-listed Coiba archipelago.

Why it works

The hard part is finished. Site planning, construction, and outfitting are complete. A buyer can focus on branding, staffing, permits, and opening. The setting supports a boutique, high-comfort experience for anglers, spearfishers, surf groups, or families who want nature and quiet as much as action on the water.
