Overview
Villa Coco, in the heart of Santa Catalina, is a luxury boutique hotel and one of the most famous in the small and picturesque town. We are a family-run hotel with nine rooms spread around a lush green garden, where you can enjoy ultimate tranquillity and relaxation. The Restaurant "Ai Mamita" on-site serves you breakfast, lunch, and dinner with top-notch and heartful service. The Panamanian fusion culinary experience is a Seafood and Meat restaurant with locally sourced ingredients (vegetarian options available). Enjoy a Pina Colada or a maracuya smoothie at the pool bar. Our one-of-a-kind infinity pool offers a unique refreshment on site. Villa Coco is located 15 min walk or 5 min bike ride (free) from Playa Estero, a famous spot to learn surfing and enjoy the beach. The town center, 10 minutes away, offers multiple restaurants and bars and the takeoff spot for the UNESCO world heritage Coiba, bookable in the hotel. All rooms have ultimate privacy with AC, a safety box, amenities, and cozy beds. Read your book on your own terrace and enjoy a shower outdoors. Free parking & Wifi are available.

“Nice and relaxing.”
Nice location with well organized villas. We stayed in deluxe king room (in one villa two separate rooms). Large and comfortable. With outdoor shower (only one) and small terrace overlooking forest with two loungers and hammock.

Santa Catalina is a very small town surrounded by beautiful nature. A day trip to Coiba is amazing, but staying at Vila Coco is also really nice with the pool and restaurant. Every room has a nice terrace for relaxing. If you want to learn surfing, go to Oasis, crossing the river. The black sand and nature is stunning as well. For more advanced surfers, the spot right in front of Vila Coco is amazing too. Getting in is rocky. Kids loved Vila Coco as well!

“Lovely stay in Santa Catalina”
We loved the quiet setting in a lovely garden with a nice pool. The rooms are spread out, so you have enough privacy. We had a room with an outdoor shower which was lovely. We really enjoyed having dinner at Ai Mamita.
