Family Gatherings

Where everybody can reconnect without staring at a screen.

A family gathering works best when everyone can truly take part. It falls into disarray when you are drawing straws over who cooks, who cleans, and who has to stay back from the activity to make sure dinner is ready, or worse, picking a restaurant in a new land by committee. That is why we have taken all of that off your plate, to make sure your time to reconnect is truly spent doing just that, and not doing dishes. You have the whole island, and it keeps no hours, so it is perfectly fine for someone to be up at six with coffee on the dock while someone else surfaces at ten and finds breakfast waiting. The teenagers are already in the pool, which never closes, and the hot tub is right there for whoever needs it. Family trips should not feel like work.

The main hacienda has six ensuite bedrooms, and the two-bedroom waterfront bungalow sits apart with its own dock and porch. That is eight ensuite bedrooms and room for up to twenty-four, every one of them air conditioned. The bungalow is for the branch of the family that wants quiet, close enough for dinner and far enough for a nap. Our chef cooks three meals a day, and the picky eight-year-old, the gluten-free aunt, and the uncle who only wants fish all get sorted on the onboarding call before you arrive. The kitchen never really closes. The kids figure out where the fridges are on day one. Pack and plays, high chairs, and babysitting are there if you need them.

The boat and our captain are yours the whole stay. The ones who want to go can snorkel the reef, ride out to Cayo Zapatillas, or spend a day beach hopping, and the ones who do not can stay in a hammock with a book and see everyone again at dinner. Paddleboards, kayaks, snorkel gear, and boat tube rides are all included. Kids and pets are welcome. It is warm every month of the year, so the date is whenever everyone can get away. Nights end under the string lights at the pavilion, with karaoke if the mood strikes and nobody watching the clock.

Together by dinner, apart by choice.

The hacienda gathers everyone under one roof, with covered porches upstairs and down made for the long evenings. The bungalow, set apart on the water, gives whoever wants their own space a dock and a porch of their own. Spread out by day, back together by dinner.

The pool never closes.

It is a 9,000-gallon pool with a hot tub, open whenever your family is: a midnight swim, an early lap, a float that lasts all afternoon. The house sits right above it.

Eight bedrooms

Eight ensuite bedrooms across the main hacienda and the waterfront bungalow, every one air conditioned with a full shower, and Starlink everywhere on the island.

Food and drink

Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, vegetarian, halal, kosher, kid-friendly, allergy-driven: all of it gets settled on the onboarding call. Three meals a day from our chef and bespoke cocktails from our bar, all included.

Kids and pets

Bring the kids and bring the dog. Pack and plays, high chairs, life jackets for the kids, and babysitting are all available; tell us the ages and we will have it ready. Bringing a pet into Panama takes a few real steps, a vet health certificate, a consulate stamp, a rabies shot at least a month old, and advance notice to Panama's health ministry. Tell us as early as you can and we will walk you through every step before you arrive.

Getting here

Fly into Panama City, then take the one-hour flight to Bocas del Toro, with multiple daily departures. We meet you at the airport, and the boat ride to the island is fifteen minutes. The full route is on the Getting Here page.

Everyone in one place.

There are no other guests, ever. The houses, the docks, the boat, and the staff are yours, and the only schedule is the one your family sets.

Tell us when you're coming and who you're bringing. We'll take it from there.
