Isla Solarte, Bocas del Toro

Fully operational boutique hotel located on Isla Solarte, just 15 minutes by boat from Bocas Town. Surrounded by lush jungle and perched above calm mangrove waters, the hotel enjoys panoramic views of Almirante Bay and the Cordillera mountains. The property includes 8 guest rooms, a full-service restaurant, a lounge area, and a long pool with a large sundeck. This boutique hotel offers all the luxury and comfort while maintaining an authentic Caribbean atmosphere.

Built and operated by French owners, it reflects a distinct French touch in its design, hospitality, and attention to detail. The architecture combines tropical modernity with European standards.

The hotel consists of six hotel rooms on the first floor, each with private terraces and floor-to-ceiling windows facing the sea and surrounding nature. On the upper level, two additional rooms can be rented separately or combined as a private apartment—ideal for family or two couples traveling together connected by a shared living area. There is also a separate 81 m² management apartment with its own 24 m² terrace which could easily be converted into two additional guest rooms if desired.

The restaurant and lounge (160 m²) are fully equipped and designed to welcome both hotel guests and outside visitors by reservation. The large kitchen includes professional-grade appliances and is laid out for efficient service. The pool area includes a 30 m² pool and 120 m² terrace with several daybeds, ideal for guests to unwind or enjoy sunset cocktails.

The hotel operates off-grid with a 9,500-watt solar system backed up by an 8,700-watt generator, and has 27,500 liters of water storage. A 23-foot boat with a 75 HP Yamaha engine is included for guest transfers and tours. The hotel has a laundry facility, a separate storage/work annex, and all furniture, linens, and operating equipment are included in the sale.

The hotel is built to a high standard using durable, premium materials. Locally sourced hardwoods—nispero, almendro, and batteo—are featured throughout the flooring, adding natural warmth and character to the interiors. Bathrooms include waxed concrete accent walls, "Securit" tempered glass shower enclosures, and contemporary, high-quality fixtures.

The structure is engineered with anti-seismic foundations and reinforced elements to support large openings and self-supporting surfaces. The pool rests on a self-supporting base of reinforced concrete and wood, finished with a fiber and polyester resin coating to guarantee waterproofing and structural flexibility.

The boutique hotel currently runs with a staff of four and advertises on diffrent booking platforms (Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb) and has received Booking.com ratings of 9.7 and 9.8 over multiple seasons. The owners have also secured strong relationships with some travel agencies attracting a more upscale and reliable clientele (Financials available upon request)

There is significant potential for expansion. A maritime concession would allow for the development of up to 10 overwater bungalows. There is an additional elevated land of 18 hectares behind the hotel, ideal to build a private home or add more guest rooms in the future.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-reviewed, profitable hospitality business in one of Panama’s most desirable ecotourism destinations. Owners offer full transition support, including partner introductions, systems handover, and team training included.
