Islas Secas is an archipelago located 20 miles off the coast of Panama. 

In this spectacular paradise, sustainability and conservation meet elegant design. Guests can indulge in exceptional cuisine, warm, anticipatory service, and a breadth of experiences. 

Ideally situated in the Gulf of Chiriquí, Islas Secas is comprised of 14 volcanic islands, 13 of which remain untouched, promising a uniquely private and immersive experience that allows guests to experience the magnificent raw, natural beauty of Panama’s wild Pacific coast. The property promises the ultimate all-inclusive, bespoke luxury getaway with tailored experiences.

Islas Secas is centred around sustainability and conservation. Surrounded by one of the most significant protected marine zones in the world, in one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet, Islas Secas takes pride in prioritizing sustainability in every thread of the property’s fabric. At Secas, 100% of the property’s power is solar generated, 100% of the food waste is composted, and 100% of the wastewater is used for irrigation. Islas Secas is considered an environmentally protected area under Panamanian law. 

As one of the most diverse areas of the Eastern Tropical Pacific, Islas Secas is dedicated to protecting its natural heritage and wildlife – guests are welcome to partake in this during their visit too. There are seven hundred fifty species of fish, over 100 bird species, 128 species of plants, and endless opportunities for exploration and sustainable adventures. Guests will be inspired to develop a conservation mindset and implement sustainable practices in their own lives. 

An unparalleled sustainable playground, Islas Secas is home to a collection of seven Casitas and Tented Casitas, accommodating up to 24 guests. Created in collaboration with architecture and design firm Hart Howerton, each Casita is a private oasis embraced by the island’s lush foliage. Accommodations celebrate indoor-outdoor living, encouraging guests to soak in the soul-stirring wildlife and vibrant waters. The expansive casitas reflect natural Panamanian-inspired architecture and offer floor-to-ceiling windows, serene seascapes, a shower that opens into nature, a private plunge pool and a thatched-roof cabana. 

Tented Casitas bring seamless flow between indoors and outdoors with walls that roll up, revealing a sprawling terrace, breathtaking views over the lush vegetation to the sea, and an indulgent outdoor soaking tub, where guests can relax beneath the sun or stars. In addition, all casitas come complete with straw hats, French press coffee, reusable water bottles, and a collection of nine essential oils that guests can blend into custom-made lotions, among other treasures. 

Guests discover aquatic wonders, rich tropical forests, and exotic flora and fauna around each corner. Activities range from whale watching in season, diving and e-foiling to kayaking, nature hikes, fishing, birding and more. Opportunities for enrichment across the archipelago are truly endless. A close boat ride away, you can enjoy an idyllic beach barbeque and ceviche made from freshly caught fish, embark on a sunset cruise while observing jaw-dropping wildlife, sip coconut milk straight from the source lounging poolside after morning yoga, or engage in transformational environmental exploration and research. 

Visitors can relax and let the natural beauty of Islas Secas work its magic, embark on a vigorous day-long terrestrial and marine adventure, or enjoy a blissfully revitalizing spa treatment within rooms open to the outdoors.
