Isla Grande, Portobelo, Panamá

Boutique ResortBetweenRainforestand Sea

A short boat ride across calm blue waters brings you to Ordovician Beach Resort — a private Caribbean retreat of overwater suites and ocean-view cabanas, surrounded by rainforest near the historic coast of Portobelo.

Garden-to-table dining, an overwater spa, and diving among coral reefs set the rhythm for days that feel slow, quiet, and entirely your own. Two hours from Panama City, and a world away.

HospitalityWith a Purpose

Ordovician was created to be part of Isla Grande, not simply a resort on it. After arriving in Panama from Hawaii, founders Rick and Loan Hill found in Isla Grande not only a place to build a hotel, but a community they wanted to grow with. From the beginning, hospitality, philanthropy, and local development have been deeply connected to their vision.

That purpose continues to shape Ordovician today — from creating local opportunities to building a resort experience rooted in people, place, and a genuine sense of community.
