PEARL OF THE SEA

For travelers dreaming of overwater suites in Panama — or the feeling of an elevated overwater bungalow without flying all the way to the Maldives — Pearl of the Sea is made for the kind of stay you remember differently. There are only six of these suites, each built above the Caribbean reef, where the sea is not just outside your window. It is beneath you, around you, and part of the way the day begins.

Wake slowly over the water. Watch tropical fish move beneath the glass-floor viewing panel, then settle into the lounge area tucked behind the bed, partially screened by a wall and furnished with its own sofa and television. Positioned near the suite entrance, it creates a distinct place to relax without feeling separate from the rest of the room. Outside, the private terrace opens to the Caribbean, with an outdoor tub made for lingering and a lower sea deck with steps leading directly into the water.

Pearl of the Sea is for couples marking something meaningful, travelers looking for one of Panama's rare overwater stays, and anyone who wants the privacy of the island with the feeling of sleeping inside the Caribbean itself.
