Mansion vacation rentals in Panama

Julia’s place is an absolute gem, nestled in the calm waters of the Caribbean Sea at the southern tip of Isla Cristóbal—about a 30-minute boat ride from the main island, Isla Colón. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were stepping into a unique off-grid paradise. The house itself is self-sustaining, powered by solar energy and using filtered rainwater (which, by the way, tastes amazing!). While there’s no air conditioning, there are plenty of fans to keep the air moving. The views from the house are absolutely stunning. In the mornings, dolphins often patrol the area like local marine police, and right beneath the house, we saw massive snappers swimming in the clear waters. If you paddle out into deeper water by kayak or paddleboard, you’ll likely spot graceful rays gliding beneath you—an unforgettable experience. Victoriano, a local caretaker, was extremely helpful on the property and in surrounding areas and guided us on a hike to see the sloths and the monkeys.

Very well maintained and clean. Perfect spot for a relaxing time with ample amenities and service staff. Will definitely repeat!

We had an amazing stay! The place was beautiful, remote, surrounded with wildlife, gorgeous beaches, gear to use, great pools. Hosts were always available to answer our questions, give us rides, connect us with boats, fix things that needed fixing. The house space was perfect for our group of 7, including 4 kids! We did bring a bunch of food from the mainland, which was a good idea. Local market is limited and the nice restaurant just down the beach was good but expensive for regular meals. Zully was available to cook for us and her cooking was outstanding! Matthias and his local manager were very helpful and friendly. We had a beautiful experience and the house and surroundings were wonderful. Highly recommended!

Great location, clean, well furnished, amazing host. I will definitely stay here again.

It is a beautiful villa home in beautiful Buenaventura, Rio Hato. Very nice ammenities in the home with a wonderful backyard and pool as well. Both Philip and his property manager, Olga, were very responsive and helpful when we had questions or concerns. It has a few restaurants and a shoppette inside the resort. There is also a very large Super99 grocery store and others stores a 10 min drive outside the resort. All in all, this was a wonderful property and stay for our 8-member family group. Thank you!

The cozy house, perfect for a group of friends with their families, each room has its own bathroom and therefore we all had enough privacy. The spacious common areas are ideal for children, with all the amenities, the beach is super close... We'd go back

Its a 5 star house. The house is way bigger than what photos suggest. It can easily fit in 10 people. It is in a very safe neighborhood and close to great restaurants and bakery. It also has good India mart close by if you need any Indian provisions. House all the amenities you need. Pool, garage, big grill, nice kitchen, theatre room with pool table and a yoga place. The only part of the house that we could not get to enjoy is the golf area. I wish we had more time at the house. Will definitely recommend the house. Also Bradley was very responsive.

Fantastic place, the sea is your backyard. Monkeys, tracking, squirrels, and surfers on the waves passing by. Great house, minimalist but very nice with various hangouts. Keep in mind that it can be warm in the house and that insects can easily enter....but there is something great about that.

The house was really excellent, they were always attentive to making sure we were comfortable. Everything is clean, I recommend it. It was a wonderful weekend.

The place was really good, but some details were missing, 1 air conditioner didn't work and several bathroom lights were burnt out, but otherwise everything was fine

The stay was amazing, we enjoyed it from start to finish, surely our host has experience in hospitality because everything was five stars.

What an incredible stay we just had. This is our third time to Panama and our first in Gamboa and it was amazing. The home was gorgeous and spacious. The kid zone was a blast for both kids and adults. We went on a zip lining tour and the boat tour of the canal, monkey island and Embera tribe and they were worth every penny. Our 9-12 year olds felt safe and saw every animal on our wish list. Just an amazing adventure topped off by the privacy of our own home with a gorgeous pool. We just loved it. Thank you so much!!!

Great place to relax with family and friends. Pool and supermarket is within walking distance. Friendly and helpful staff of Buenaventura they will drive around the area.

The Jungle House at Playa Bluff was a great getaway destination for our 2 families, with 4 adults and 6 children, ages 4-11. The pool was great and the sleeping arrangements worked well for us. There is a decent kitchen, but we mostly ate at nearby restaurants or on our daily adventures. The house is about a 25 min taxi ride from the main town and the road can get soupy, but any of the truck taxis can easily get to the house. The beach is stunning, although not great for swimming with rip tides and currents. The host was super responsive to all questions and I would highly recommend this house. We even saw sloths and monkeys right around the house.

We had a great time during our short stay, quiet beautiful condo with big windows and a great view of the ocean, it was close to markets and fast food restaurants, great location overall, we are sure to return.

Our stay at this beach house was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home thanks to the warmth and attention to detail that can be seen in every corner. The location is unbeatable, with the relaxing sound of the waves as a constant soundtrack and the beach just a few steps away. We really enjoyed the sunsets from the pool. The house was spotless, very nicely appointed and tastefully decorated. Definitely an unforgettable vacation. Thank you so much for sharing this paradise with us!"

It's the perfect place to disconnect from everything and at the same time from everything just minutes away. The house is exactly as described and has an amazing view. There are fruit trees, palm trees and beautiful veraneras that make the place a paradise. I went with my wife and 5 adult children, and they were all comfortable. The terrace is huge and the pool is large. Fully recommended

What a place, one of the better Air B &B’s in Panama, have everything you require, nice pool, cold jacuzzi that works, very amazing stay Annelise, thanks for everything.

This place is perfect to enjoy a relaxing het away, having the beautiful ocean view and tropical breeze right outside of the house it is priceless! The pool and Jacuzzi are well maiy and make a great complement of the whole experience! The host thought about every detail to make the guests very welcome, by providing essentials for personal cleaning products, kitchen extra essentials and outdoors supplies. We really enjoyed the stay.!

Wonderful place. Very spacious and well decorated. Wonderful view, my guests from outside of panama commented on how they thought the apartment was “wonderful”. Samy a super host, very fast and easy to communicate with.

Just returned from an incredible stay at Rafael’s beautiful beachfront home in Las Lajas, where we gathered to celebrate my mom’s 70th birthday. The house was perfect for our family—spacious, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. Four of the five bedrooms had their own private bathrooms, making it easy for everyone to have their own space. The master bath was a dream with its Jacuzzi tub and separate shower, another had a soaking tub and rain shower, and the others featured spa-like rain showers. We enjoyed slow mornings with ocean views, meals in the fully equipped kitchen, and evenings by the pool. Rafael was a wonderful host—responsive and kind. This home helped us create memories we’ll never forget.

Don Gerardo was an amazing host. He picked my family and I up from the airport and welcomed us to his place with a cake which he did not need to do at all. He went above and beyond by offering us advice on local spots and attractions and completely changing the washing machine when the last one had issues. He was very attentive and welcoming to my elderly parents. He even drove my daughter back home from the airport after dropping her off there (one hour round trip) as she had forgotten something important at his place. The house was huge and exactly what my family and I needed. There were no issues at all from the house apart from the aforementioned washing machine which he rectified immediately when we were out of the house. Would definitely recommend to anyone with a big family to stay in Gerardo’s place. He is just an amazing guy and super super host . Highly recommended

Lovely home very close to the beach. There was so much to do at the house we didn't spend much time at the beach! The pool was great, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Our stay in Rapha's apt was spectacular. The apartment is super comfortable to be with a family, it is very well equipped and very clean. They also have details that make you feel at home, like a baby chair, plates, glasses, etc. We loved the place, the apartment and the attention we received from Rapha! We will definitely come back and recommend it 100%.
