Located at the heart of the Bocas del Toro archipelago, this private island benefits from a strategic location on the maritime route between Isla Colón and Chiriquí Grande. Accessible only by boat, it can be reached in 25 to 30 minutes from Isla Colón by water taxi, or in 45 to 60 minutes by pontoon boat. Essential amenities remain close by, with a general store and a water taxi stop just five minutes away.
Covering approximately 0.8 hectares, the island is surrounded by calm waters and naturally ventilated by sea breezes. The seabed, made up of shallow white sand over a wide area around the island, creates an ideal environment for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, or paddleboarding. The docks, built from durable Ecoplastic, include a fixed section and a 48-foot floating section, ensuring practical and long-lasting access.
A titled 2-hectare plot of land included in the sale
The sale of the island comes with a fully titled two-hectare plot of land. In addition to expanding the property’s total surface area, this asset greatly facilitates the process for a buyer wishing to apply for residency in Panama.
The property includes a new house on stilts, fully finished, built with durable materials, including high-quality treated pine imported from Canada and a high-performance Panaroof PVC roof. The ground floor offers an open kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, a laundry room and a mechanical room, for a surface area of approximately 20 by 27 feet. Upstairs, a spacious 20 by 17 foot mezzanine currently serves as the master bedroom and features a balcony with sea views, as well as a space designated for a future bathroom. Outside, a covered waterfront terrace with an Ecoplastic floor extends the living space, while walkways made of the same material connect the different areas.
The island is designed for complete self-sufficiency. It has a solar system, a backup generator, a rainwater collection system with a 1,135-gallon tank, as well as a septic system. Independently powered security cameras and a Starlink internet connection ensure comfort and security, even in this remote setting.
Building permit valid for 5 years
An outbuilding of approximately 18 m² currently serves as a bodega and offers significant storage space. A building permit for an additional bodega has already been obtained, as well as a permit for the construction of a two-story studio, also already granted. Both permits are valid for a period of five years, giving the buyer valuable flexibility to plan future developments. A maritime concession could also be requested for a future construction project above the water.
The sale also includes numerous amenities facilitating immediate move-in, including two lanchas, a fishing kayak, a water pump, a solar-compatible refrigerator, a six-burner stove, a washer-spinner, a dryer and a propane gas water heater, as well as furniture, dishes, tools, a television, a mini barbecue, and a coffee maker. A Princecraft Vectra 21 pontoon boat with a Mercury 115 hp motor is available as an option, sold separately.
Built with an eco-responsible approach and sold with a Société Anonyme (corporation) facilitating administrative procedures, this property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a private refuge combining modern comfort, self-sufficiency, preserved nature, and already-authorized expansion prospects.
This island is sold with a Société Anonyme (S.A.), simplifying administrative procedures, and it is a ROP.
