The beach is only three minutes away, making it easy to dip into the ocean, go for a sunset walk, or explore the coastline before breakfast.

The surrounding area is known for its variety of beaches, each offering something a little different. In just six minutes you can be in Malena, a mellow spot ideal for swimming and relaxing. Morillo Beach, a renowned destination for surfers, is about 15 minutes away and draws both seasoned riders and beginners. Playa Reina, another favorite for beachgoers and fishing enthusiasts, is roughly 25 minutes up the coast.

For errands and essentials, the larger district hub of Mariato is only a 15-minute drive. There, you’ll find a bank, grocery stores, hardware shops, a health clinic, pharmacies, and other everyday services. If you’re looking for broader shopping options, international stores, or a big city day trip, Santiago—the closest major city—is just an hour away. It offers a large shopping mall, PriceSmart (Panama’s version of Costco), and a wide array of retail chains and restaurants.

Dining out locally is easy as well. Within 3 to 5 minutes of the property are several casual and international restaurants, where you’ll find everything from Tex-Mex to Italian and Panamanian cuisine.
