Islas Secas, located in Panama, has emerged as a sought-after destination for travelers seeking a secluded and exclusive retreat. Recently, the private island resort unveiled its newest addition, Casa Cavada, offering a glimpse into luxury living amidst nature’s beauty.
Casa Cavada presents an idyllic escape nestled within the island’s cliffs, offering accommodation for up to eight guests. Spanning an impressive 8,300 square feet, this villa boasts four bedrooms and six bathrooms, along with all the amenities one would expect from a top-tier vacation spot. Guests can indulge in a personalized experience with a private chef preparing breakfast daily, a dedicated housekeeping team, and a property manager orchestrating marine safaris, scuba diving adventures, and spa sessions. However, such exclusivity comes at a price, with rates ranging from $20,000 to $30,000 per night, varying by season.
Designed by renowned architecture firm Hart Howerton in collaboration with Studio Tre for the interior, Casa Cavada exudes a tropical elegance. Its exterior features rugged stone accents beneath an undulating eucalyptus roof, reminiscent of butterfly wings or manta ray fins. Inside, sustainably harvested eucalyptus beams from Brazil and local coral stones adorn the floors, complemented by furnishings crafted from fallen tree trunks found on the island. The walls showcase art pieces by emerging Panamanian talents, adding a touch of cultural richness to the villa.
The villa offers ample opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment, with a semi-Olympic-size infinity pool, inviting day beds, an open-air lounge with lavastone ceilings, and an alfresco dining terrace overlooking breathtaking ocean vistas. Each bedroom features ensuite baths with custom geometric tiling, floor-to-ceiling windows, and expansive balconies, ensuring a seamless blend of comfort and natural beauty. For those seeking privacy and convenience, Casa Cavada provides access to a private beach and an onsite gym, allowing guests to immerse themselves fully in the island experience.
Situated within a remote archipelago 20 miles off Panama’s coast, Islas Secas already offers a range of accommodations, including casitas of various sizes, tented suites, a beachfront restaurant, a jungle spa, and movie theaters. With a maximum capacity of 24 guests, the resort guarantees an intimate and exclusive environment, ensuring that visitors can savor every moment without the hustle and bustle of crowds.
