The property covers 0.7 acres of land, with 5,400 square feet of construction. The first building is a wooden cabin that serves as the master bedroom. It was designed by a Panamanian architect and built with hard wood from the island of Borneo. The cabin offers stunning views of the entire property and its wildlife, such as toucans, monkeys, hummingbirds and sloths. It has large windows that allow you to feel connected to the outdoors while being cozy inside.

The second building is a house with three independent rooms, each with its own bathroom. The rooms feature brick-vaulted ceilings (Catalan vaults) that were built by a master vaulter from Mexico. These ceilings are impressive and intricate, and they will help you fall asleep naturally.

The third building is the kitchen, which has a terrace and a full bathroom. It is spacious enough to satisfy any chef’s needs. The kitchen’s architectural highlight is its 80-year-old handcrafted roof tiles and its view of the gardens.

The fourth building is the social area, which includes a small lobby, a den, a dining area and a bar. It has large windows that bring the exterior gardens into the enclosed space. The ceilings are also Catalan vaults of different styles and heights that will amaze anyone who visits. This is the place to dream up new projects, plan for the future or chat with your loved one.

The fifth building is a large reception area, where you can host family or friends gatherings. It is an open-air plaza with a seating capacity of thirty people, surrounded by nature and natural sculptures. It has a bonfire at the center and a clay oven and a grill on the outside.

The property is bordered by a creek that runs all year round. The sound of the water, the wind and the birds complement the landscaped gardens beautifully. The gardens have a variety of plants, from ferns to orchids, including heliconias, bromeliads and coleus.

The property also has a stunning night lighting design that reduces glare and enhances the sensory experience. When night falls, the property transforms into a fairy tale place where you can see the symbiosis between architecture and landscaping.

This property is not only a dream home but also an income generator! If you want to know more about this opportunity, please contact us and we will be happy to talk to you

The post B&B: Villa Hermosa first appeared on Private Office.

The meticulously-supervised construction (steel beams) of the 4-story building took place between 2008 and 2016. The hotel started receiving guests, primarily from the US and Canada, from the moment the first floor (3 Suites) was finished. The location and the luxurious Suites resulted in a consistent five-star rating from guests over the past 11 years, as well as healthy occupancy rates and multiple repeat visits. Over the past few years, with the help of social media, the hotel has enjoyed a fast-growing Panamanian clientele as well, making Casa Caracol a popular and unique weekend get-away and Holiday destination for those wanting to escape city life for a while.

The high ratings from hotel guests are based not only on the high-quality accommodations, but also on the guests’ appreciation of the hotel’s private “infinity beach” (complete with palm-thatched palapas and beach shower). It sits at a three-meter elevation above the natural beach on the inside of the seawall. On top of that, they are awed by the fabulous “big beach” in front of the hotel: a large, unspoiled, infinite stretch of many kilometers of sandy beach. Beyond the 16 beachfront properties that make up what is locally known as “Millionaires Row”, lies a pristine beach stretching in both directions. To the right, the beach is set against majestic cliffs for several kilometers and stretches all the way to the famous beaches of Santa Clara and Playa Blanca. To the left, a virgin beach is aligned with tropical forest vegetation. What amazes guests the most is that the beach is never crowded, including in the weekends, to the point where you can take a long walk and literally not encounter anyone!

The idyllic setting of the hotel in a rustic town on a secluded beach creates the sensation of being far away from civilization. However, there are several nearby (5-minute drive) restaurants and stores, and a 15-minute drive puts you in the famous, busy tourist town of Coronado, which boasts plenty of grocery stores, several shopping centers, a hospital, and many restaurants. Nearby attractions include Santa Clara beach (15 minutes) and the famous and popular mountain town of El Valle (25 minutes). Located in a crater of an extinct volcano, El Valle is a well-known tourist destination, famous for its artisan/farmer’s market, waterfalls, and activities, such as zip lining, jungle-trekking, hiking and horseback-riding.  

The hotel is located in what is known as the “dry arch” of Panama. Therefore, Playa Corona enjoys having a much lower annual rainfall than other regions in the country, resulting in many more sunny days year-round, especially in the not-so rainy season. Due to comfortable evening temperatures and an ever-present cool breeze, guests have rarely complained about heat, humidity or (any) bugs. 

Hotel guests all agree that this “little piece of paradise” is the perfect place to relax, unwind and rejuvenate without giving up any luxury! All Suites have air-conditioning, hot water, high speed internet, cable tv with HBO, and ceiling fans, and all but one have a full kitchen. In short, everything one needs for an ideal short or prolonged stay in paradise.    

The hotel is registered with Autoridad de Turismo Panama and is being managed by an English and Spanish-speaking, highly qualified, reliable couple, interested in continuing their management position, if so desired.

This boutique hotel has 6 suites with 7, 5 bathrooms and 5 kitchens.  The penthouse is currently used as private residence for the owners.

Important: 

1) This property is exempt from any real estate / property taxes until 2032!

2) The infinity beach can easily be converted to an infinity pool. During seawall construction, four heavy metal plates were installed as part of the seawall and can be used as attachment of metal beam support structure for a 9 x 4 m infinity edge pool.

Moreover, the property boasts a variety of fruit trees, including mango, avocado, breadfruit, lemon, bananas, and passion fruit. Approximately 5 to 6 hectares of the land are adorned with valuable timber trees such as teak, mahogany, and cedar.

Furthermore, the property features three water creeks, with water levels fluctuating depending on the season.

There is a small three bedrooms house with the following features:

• Three water reserve tanks
• Septic tank
• Electricity service with solar panels (photovoltaic): Three 285-watt panels each
• Drinking water supply from a deep well

Playa Escondida Marina & Resort is located in the Republic of Panama, in the beautiful littoral zone of the Costa Arriba region in the Caribbean Sea; specifically 20 kilometers before reaching Portobelo, Colón. Doing justice to its name, the complex is exclusively accessible through a private road in the middle of the mountain range that ends in a spectacular valley with two kilometers of seafront, where the project is developed.

Amidst the natural beauty of an area of 50 hectares we find a wide beach of white sand, softly bathed by a peaceful sea of clear water; a small sunny corner with a huge development potential.

It’s the only spot with an ideal proximity to four marinas.

THE PROJECT

Playa Escondida Marina & Resort has been conceived as a mixed-use development for residential and leisure travel use. Inspired by the beauty of the Caribbean Sea and the Panamanian coast, its main objective is to take advantage of the great potential for growth in the area. It’s also been presented as a solution to the growing demand of housing in the beach due to its easy access.

Stages

The project is organized in two stages: each one equipped with the essential facilities and commodities to offer a complete service experience to both residents and tourists.

Choose how you wish to spend the day: be it relaxing under the sun, swimming at the sea or at one of our pools, kayak training, going fishing, taking your yacht for a ride, or enjoying one of our Country Club activities, especially designed for your pleasure. At Playa Escondida Marina & Resort, your comfort flows as free as the breeze that caresses the coast.
