Only 35 miles, or 1.5 hours away from the busy streets of Panama City, the Las Perlas Islands are a hidden gem awaiting discovery. Known for their stunning white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and abundant marine life, these islands offer a tranquil escape just a short boat ride away from Panama City. Perfect for beach lovers, water sports enthusiasts, and nature seekers, the Las Perlas Islands provide a serene backdrop for relaxation, exploration, and adventure. Whether you're looking to unwind on the beach, snorkel with colorful fish, or sail the azure seas, this tropical paradise offers a captivating blend of natural beauty and island charm.
Your journey begins with a comfortable ride on a passenger ferry, leaving the Flamenco Marina on the Amador Causeway. The ferry ride is part of the adventure as you pass huge ships idly awaiting to cross the Panama Canal. Oftentimes, pods of dolphins are playfully swimming on the wake of the ferry. From July to November, humpback whales can be spotted along the way, which contributes to extra excitement of the passengers.
Once you arrive at the pristine island of Isla Bulaños and enter the Las Perlas Island Resort, start unwinding and enjoying your beach day. The Las Perlas Island resort is a luxurious ecotourism project with ocean-view cabins and glamping tents offering an authentic outdoor experience with all the resort amenities you deserve.
This Las Perlas island is uninhabited with no roads or other hotels. Just your exclusive Eco Beach Club, Luxury Camping, small Eco Cabins and restrooms. The rest of the island consists of dense, tropical vegetation, varied fauna, rich marine life and two spectacular white sand beaches, inviting guests to plunge into the azure ocean.
Located on the highest point of the island is an ocean-view restaurant, which prepares fresh fish, American-style beef burgers accompanied with a refreshing cold beer and jaw-dropping views of the island.
Choose from activities, such as SUP boarding, kayaking, fishing, whale watching (July-November), snorkeling, yoga classes, hiking on recently built nature trails, leading to hidden gems such as the Instagram Cave or Shell Beach.
