The Opportunity

A fully usable private island in one of Panama's most untouched coastal regions.

This private island is located in Islas San José, Golfo de Chiriquí, within the district of San Lorenzo, offering a rare opportunity to own a fully usable island in one of the most untouched coastal regions of Panama.

The property features a total land area of 204,680 m² (approximately 2,203,155 sqft), providing expansive space ideal for a private estate, eco-resort, or low-density development.

01

Topography & Geology

The island presents a flat to gently rolling topography, with elevations reaching approximately 35 to 45 meters above sea level, allowing for strategic viewpoints and natural drainage.

Its geological composition combines volcanic base and coastal formations, with stable soil conditions suitable for development.

02

Beaches & Coves

Two natural beaches — approximately 120 meters and 80 meters in length — feature a mix of golden sand and rocky sections. At low tide, the shoreline expands, revealing additional usable coastal areas.

The island includes naturally protected coves, offering strong potential for private dock or marina development (subject to permits).

03

Ecosystem & Freshwater

Secondary tropical forest covers approximately 70–75% of the island, with native vegetation including hardwoods, palms, and coastal flora. Wildlife includes tropical birds, small mammals, reptiles, and abundant marine life.

A key feature is the presence of a natural freshwater spring, adding significant value for self-sustained development.

The island has no mangroves, no designated protected zones, and falls within standard maritime regulations, including an approximate 20-meter coastal setback.

04

Investment Thesis

This property represents a rare island investment opportunity — ideal for eco-resort development, a private compound, or long-term land banking within one of the Pacific's most ecologically distinctive marine environments.

Access & Logistics

Access via boat from mainland Chiriquí, with proximity to established coastal towns and services.
