Overwater bungalows in Panama are closer to home and more affordable than those you’ll find in Tahiti and the Maldives. However, many overwater options in Panama are not as luxurious and are a bit more “off the grid”, so it’s important to choose wisely!

Bocas del Toro

The Bocas del Toro archipelago is a group of islands located in the Caribbean Sea, northwest of Panama. The main city is located on Isla Colon and is referred to as Bocas del Toro or Bocas Town. Bastimentos National Marine Park is a key destination within the Bocas del Toro region, known for its diverse ecosystems ranging from mangroves to coral reefs, and offers activities like island hopping and snorkeling. The nine main islands are accessible by water taxi or private boat, making the Bocas del Toro archipelago an ideal spot for the best overwater bungalows in Panama.
