About the Resort
A beach-and-golf resort on the Riviera Pacífica
Buenaventura is an Autograph Collection and Leading Hotels resort on the Riviera Pacífica, about eighty minutes west of Panama City inside a gated Pacific-coast community. An 18-hole, par-72 Jack Nicklaus course threads the grounds, several pools and swim-up bars step down to a private beach, and seven restaurants run from Panamanian cooking to teppanyaki. The Corotú Spa takes its name from the resort's old-growth tree; rooms carry modern Panamanian design and rise to villas with private pools and kitchens.

What Our Clients Say
★★★★★
“The most extraordinary place I have ever stayed. Nothing prepares you for the depth of the silence, the beauty of the reef, or the sheer generosity of the experience.”

★★★★★
“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Buenaventura Golf & Beach Resort. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Panama
The Santa Maria, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Golf Resort
The Santa Maria is Panama City's only urban hotel-and-golf resort — a Marriott Luxury Collection address wrapped around an 18-hole, par-72 Jack Nicklaus course, minutes from Tocumen, the Canal and Casco Antiguo. Rooms carry native-inspired design, with Guna Yala mola bed runners, Gatún Lake wood and Emberá baskets over Italian-marble baths. Three restaurants include a steakhouse, an indigenous-inspired spa runs steam and sauna, and golf-view suites climb to the 190-square-metre Grand Suite.
Panama
Islas Secas Reserve & Lodge
Islas Secas is a 14-island private archipelago in the Gulf of Chiriquí, with only one island developed and the other thirteen left untouched. Seven casitas and the four-bedroom Casa Cavada villa spread across four 'island-within-an-island' sites — each with a deck, a plunge pool and Pacific views — holding just 18 to 24 guests at a time. It runs entirely on solar with a working conservation foundation; stays are all-inclusive with guided diving, snorkelling and marine safaris around Coiba National Park, and humpbacks pass between July and September.
Panama
Bristol Panama
The Bristol is a financial-district icon in Panama City — a Registry Collection hotel hung with work by around a hundred Latin American artists, sister to the coastal Buenaventura. Egyptian-cotton linens and marble baths run through some 127 rooms, and 48 Executive Residences add full condos among the largest in the city. The spa sits on the 25th floor with panoramic views and six treatment rooms, Salsipuedes serves Panamanian fusion, and butler service rounds out an urban-luxury stay.
