Tranquilo Bay
Tranquilo Bay is located on the island of Bastimentos, part of the Bocas del Toro archipelago in western Panama, close to Costa Rica.
Isla Bastimentos itself covers an area of about 20 square miles and is mostly forested with no roads, cars, or airstrips.
The lodge overlooks the Caribbean Sea and the Panamanian jungle. Accommodation is in air-conditioned cabanas, each with a covered veranda with a hammock and ceiling fan. The main lodge houses the dining room and bar. On the upper floor, a large terrace wraps around two sides of the building giving great views over the jungle canopy and the sea beyond.
Good food is served, using local ingredients including fruits and seafood.
The hotel has over 110 acres of land including a long stretch of coastline with sandy beaches. Activities include snorkelling and scuba diving on the reefs of the adjacent Bastimentos National Marine Park, sea kayaking in the lagoons and mangrove forests, and good surfing at certain times of year.
Other activities include birding, hiking and beachcombing, while on the nearby mainland there are the cloud forests and wildlife of the Talamanca range to explore.
