The Ultimate Guide Of Isla Palenque

Panama

Everything you need to know before your visit

Isla Palenque Resort is for wayfarers, explorers, the seekers. The adventurous ones who still believe in wonder. Isla Palenque was home to an ancient, pre-Columbian community. The island’s beauty and mystery made it a sacred site for the most holy of ceremonies. With 8 modern luxury Casitas and a Villa Estate, it is the first of its kind in Panama, Central America.

about the resort

Located on the West side of the island, this is where you’ll find Las Rocas Restaurant & Bar, our Infinity Pool, Sunbeds & Hammock Lounge, and our 8 luxury Beachfront Casitas. Isla Palenque Resort embodies the very same values the National Geographic Society holds close: authenticity, enrichment, and a dedication to preserving our planet’s diversity. From day one, we’ve made a strong choice to preserve Isla Palenque as not only a pristine wilderness that deserves to be protected in and of its own right, but as our greatest luxury.

Rooms

Designed with indoor-outdoor living in mind, you’ll luxuriate in your open-air lounge area and bath, and have all the extravagances you’d expect from a five-star, luxury hotel.
With only 8 luxury Beachfront Casitas on our 400-acre island, Isla Palenque is exclusive to a privileged few. Each Beachfront Casita has direct beach access to Playa Palenque and 1.3 km of beachfront

Isla Palenque also has one beachfront Villa Estate to enjoy a private stay available for groups of 2 to 14 guests — an excellent choice for large families or friends traveling together!

dining

Changing with the seasons, dining menus are an integral part of experiencing the island. Every appetizer, entree, and cocktail they serve you is imbued with Panama and its culinary traditions, the international flavor influences that have traveled to the isthmus, and produce from an organic farm. At Isla Palenque Resort, they promise you locally-sourced, seasonal produce; grass-fed, hormone-free beef and poultry, and responsibly caught seafood.
