Imagine waking up to the sound of waves and watching the sunrise over turquoise waters, only 75 km from Panama City — at Playa Caracol, this dream becomes your daily reality. This coastal paradise blends white sand, lush nature, and a growing community with style.
Located in Punta Chame, Playa Caracol stretches over 1 km of pristine Pacific beachfront, nestled between the ocean and the mountains, with easy road access from the city.
Surfers were the first to discover this haven. Today, Playa Caracol remains iconic for surfing and kitesurfing, especially during the dry season (December–April) when steady winds of 15–30 knots make conditions ideal. Fishing — both shore and offshore — is also a highlight, with local catches including dorado, sea bass, and wahoo.
Beyond the water, you can hike or cycle Cerro Chame, a scenic mountain offering panoramic Pacific views.
Playa Caracol has grown into a development of over 400 residences, a surf center, beach club, and the Surfside Hotel with spa, gym, pool, and gourmet dining. More is on the way: a seaside promenade, village-style shopping center, sports academy, wedding pavilion, and supermarket are in development.
By 2027, Playa Caracol will welcome Panama’s first Margaritaville Resort & Residences — featuring favorites like “5 o’Clock Somewhere” and “License to Chill.” The project will include residences, a wellness club, racquet club, beach club, and more, adding a resort lifestyle to the already thriving community.
Inside the complex, residents and guests enjoy social areas, children’s playgrounds, a surf shop, skate ramps, bike rentals, BBQ gazebos, and on-site dining. With Coronado only 30 minutes away, you can easily access supermarkets, clinics, schools, and entertainment while enjoying the peace of coastal living.
Perfect for weekend escapes, long-term stays, or remote work, Playa Caracol also allows short-term rentals like Airbnb, making it attractive for investors. Controlled access keeps the community safe, while day visitors can enjoy the beach and amenities for a fee.
