In Pictures: A Beach Day In Panama City

Sophia relaxes on a sun lounger on a modern rooftop terrace overlooking the turquoise ocean and distant islands, beneath a bright blue sky.

I spent the day at a beach resort just 15 minutes from Panama City…

What I found reinforces why Panama continues to stand out—not just as a lifestyle destination, but as a place where property investments can also deliver personal enjoyment and strong returns.

A Standout Oceanfront Setting

As soon as I arrived, I could tell this place was special…

A spacious modern hotel lobby featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, elegant lounge seating, tropical plants, and panoramic views of lush greenery beneath a bright blue sky.

The development sits on 38 acres of oceanfront land, with its own stretch of golden-sand beach. These are some of the closest swimmable waters to Panama City.

I went up to the rooftop of one of the existing buildings to get a better sense of the surroundings… From up there, you understand the value immediately.

To the south, you’re looking out over the Pacific Ocean and Taboga Island; to the east, you see the mouth of the Panama Canal, the Amador Causeway, and the sparkling skyscrapers of Avenida Balboa; and to the north and west, it’s rolling green hills, plus Panama Pacífico and its growing amenities.

Where else in the world can you find beachfront resort living on the doorstep of a cosmopolitan city?

The Westin Effect

It’s immediately clear that this development benefits from its connection to Westin Hotels & Resorts—one of the world’s leading hotel groups.

The Westin Playa Bonita’s elegant lobby features warm wooden ceilings, colorful pendant lighting, modern seating, and a welcoming lounge atmosphere.

The moment you step inside the grand lobby with polished finishes, tropical landscaping, and sweeping ocean views, the Westin touch is clear. It’s a proper luxury resort.

Beyond elevating the design standards, this partnership puts the development in front of a global audience, driving rental demand long-term.

Manicured walkways lead to a central fountain, infinity pool, and stunning ocean views surrounded by tropical landscaping.

I toured the site’s manicured walkways, embellished with flowering plants, and took a look at the pools, restaurants, gym, spa, and beachfront. Everything is beautiful—high-quality, elegant, and well-maintained.A stunning oceanfront swimming pool at The Westin Playa Bonita, featuring palm trees, sun loungers, crystal-clear turquoise water, and panoramic Pacific Ocean views.

Looking Ahead To The Next Opportunity

I met our local contact, Liz, while up on the rooftop. She actually lives in the building we were standing on, which gave her a unique perspective on what it’s like to own here.

From that vantage point, she showed me exactly where the next residential building will go.

Units will have gorgeous ocean views to the front and green hillside views at the back, where a golf course is planned. It’s the kind of outlook that’s hard to replicate once the site is fully built.

Luxury condos will be developed, with a beach on their doorstep plus access to all of the resort’s five-star amenities, as well as a rooftop social area, a swimming pool, restaurants, and more.

A Lifestyle With Investment Potential

Aside from the amazing lifestyle you can enjoy here, these units also have above-average profit potential, boosted by the Westin partnership.

Renting will be completely turn-key. The developer’s in-house management team will handle everything while you’re away.

Availability And Access

Phase I is almost sold out, and only a handful of ocean-view units remain available in Phase II.

Thanks to our long-standing relationship with the developer behind this project—the biggest developer in Panama—we’re getting access to the pick of the best remaining units.

Plus, we have access to a payment plan that allows you to stagger your payments, leaving 50% to be paid over five years after completion.

Why This Area Is Gaining Momentum

The area is already the closest beach to Panama City, but several major infrastructure projects are set to make access even easier and drive further appreciation.

These include a new bridge over the Panama Canal, a major metro expansion connecting the city to Panama Oeste, and recently completed highway improvements that have already eased traffic.

A new cruise ship terminal just 15 minutes away is also boosting tourism in the area.

These upgrades reinforce the long-term value of this location for both lifestyle buyers and investors.

A Track Record Of Appreciation

We’ve already seen significant increases in value since we first released this opportunity.

Folks who got in earlier on a two-bed, two-bath for around $390k resold for $435k and then $580k (gains of $45k and more). The same unit is now on the market for $620k.

This is your chance to get in before prices rise further…

For those who held onto their beachfront getaway, properties here are handing owners up to $4,000 per month in rental income.

Stake A Claim In Phase II

True private beachfront property this close to a global capital is scarce anywhere in the world…

We have a second chance to get in early on the next phase of this luxury resort… on a beautiful stretch of golden-sand beach… underwritten by a global brand partnership…
