Location

Islas Secas lies within the Gulf of Chiriquí on Panama’s Pacific coast, a secluded archipelago of fourteen volcanic islands surrounded by the nutrient rich waters of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean. Reached by a short flight from the mainland, it feels remote and pristine, offering magnificent views of open ocean and untouched rainforest. The islands sit within easy reach of Coiba National Park, a UNESCO protected marine and rainforest sanctuary known for exceptional biodiversity. This setting creates a rare sense of immersion in nature, where dense jungle, vibrant reefs and turquoise water come together to form an inspiring space for exploration. 

 

 

Design 

Each of the 4 casitas have been crafted with a deep respect for the environment and showcase a refined, understated aesthetic. Natural materials, including hand-carved Indian teakwood, complement the open-air design and frame exquisite views of the ocean. Outdoors, a private plunge pool, shaded day bed, and thatched cabana provide peaceful areas to relax or dine beneath the sky. At the island’s centre, the Terraza restaurant sits in an elegant bamboo structure that blends seamlessly with the forest canopy. For a more private option, Casa Cavada, an 8,300-square-foot architectural masterpiece, elevates the island’s offering with a completely private four-bedroom, indoor-meets-outdoor residence, complete with dedicated chef and house manager.  

 

 

Activities

Each day at Isla Secas is tailored and intuitive, shaped entirely around your interests and the area’s natural rhythm. Begin with a calming yoga session before choosing between marine safaris, guided hikes, deep sea fishing or moments of stillness beside the pool. Dining becomes part of the experience, with beach barbecues on Isla Pargo, beautifully prepared picnics aboard your boat, or a ceviche cookery class before dinner. Meals are crafted using fresh, local ingredients that reflect the flavours of Panama. Throughout your stay, the attentive staff who are on hand 24/7 curate daily activities that feel seamlessly personalised. 

 

Sustainability 

Sustainability guides every aspect of Isla Secas and ensures the archipelago remains protected for future generations. The resort operates primarily on solar energy and maintains a full recycling programme for all food waste. Treated wastewater is used safely for irrigation, which supports the island’s delicate ecosystems. Considerable care was taken during construction to preserve native plant species and minimise disruption to the natural landscape.

Why we love it

Staying at Islas Secas feels beautiful and unhurried, with each day unfolding at your own pace, and yet full of activity. With the private island at your disposal, gain unparalleled access to pristine waters, hidden coves, and thriving marine life right on your doorstep - making exclusive use of the property truly immersive in one of the world’s most extraordinary ocean environments.
