Two off-grid beachfront houses on a living coral reef — ten minutes by boat from Bocas Town, a whole world away from everything.
The houses sit on a private beachfront lot on Isla Solarte, tucked into the jungle above a calm turquoise cove. Bocas Town — with its restaurants, bars and the airport — is barely ten minutes across the water, but here you hear only the reef, the birds and the rain on the leaves.
A one-of-a-kind timber cabin with a curved thatch roof, hand-poured resin-and-wood details, and a wall of ocean art. Wake up in the loft, cook in a full kitchen, work at a real desk with reliable WiFi — then step out into the banana grove and walk down to the water.
An elevated two-story home with warm wood floors, a full kitchen with breakfast bar, a bright living room and a wraparound balcony looking into the treetops and out to the sea. Two real queen bedrooms make it perfect for two couples, a family, or a longer slow-travel stay.
Some things come with the house. Others we arrange for you — just ask on WhatsApp.
