Let’s be honest. Panama City is incredible — the energy, the food, the skyline. But every now and then, you feel it. That quiet pull. The one that says get out, breathe real air, hear the ocean.
The good news? Your perfect weekend getaway isn’t far. In under an hour, you can trade the city for a private jungle estate perched above the Pacific, where breakfast is waiting and adventure is everywhere. Welcome to Alaya Panama.
Getting Here Is Easier Than You Think
Forget long drives. FlyTrip.com offers flights from Panama City directly to Pedasí Airport, with departures nearly every single day — and on some days, there are two flights to choose from. That means maximum flexibility for your Friday escape or Saturday morning adventure.
The flight itself is part of the experience. As you soar over the Azuero Peninsula, the patchwork of forests, coastline, and open Pacific stretches out beneath you. By the time you land, you’ve already left the city far behind.
Once you’re on the ground in Pedasí, pick up a cheap rental car and hit the road. It’s a short, scenic drive to Alaya — and the freedom of your own wheels means you can explore everything the region has to offer on your own schedule.
👉 Book your flights at flytrip.com and let the weekend begin.
Welcome to Alaya Panama
Tucked into the jungle above Playa Venao, Alaya Panama is a private luxury estate unlike anything else in the country. Think infinity pool, open-air living spaces, ocean views in every direction, and a sense of stillness that hits you the moment you arrive.
This isn’t a hotel. It’s a home — one designed for those who want to feel the best version of themselves.
And yes — breakfast is included. Start every morning with a beautiful spread before heading out to explore one of Panama’s most extraordinary corners.
The Area: There’s So Much to Do
The Playa Venao and Cañas coast is one of Panama’s best-kept secrets. Here’s just a taste of what awaits:
🏄 Surf Playa Venao
One of Central America’s most consistent surf breaks is right at your doorstep. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or picking up a board for the first time, the waves at Venao are welcoming, powerful, and endlessly fun. Lessons and board rentals are easy to arrange.
🐋 Whale Watching Season
From July through October, humpback whales migrate through the Pacific waters just offshore. Watching these giants breach against the backdrop of the Panamanian coastline is a once-in-a-lifetime experience — and it happens practically in Alaya’s backyard.
🐠 Tuna Fishing
The Pacific off the Azuero Peninsula is world-class fishing territory. Deep-sea charters can take you after yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, and wahoo. Come back with a story — or dinner.
🌊 Cañas Waterfalls
Head inland and discover the lush waterfalls of Cañas, hidden in the tropical forest. It’s a refreshing escape, a short drive from the estate, and the kind of moment that reminds you how wild and beautiful this country really is.
🐢 Turtle Releasing
During nesting season, you can participate in sea turtle release programs on nearby beaches — a deeply moving experience that connects you to the incredible natural cycle happening right here along this coast.
🌿 Or Just… Nothing At All
Sometimes the best thing you can do is stay put. Float in the infinity pool. Read a book in the shade of the jungle. Watch the sun fall into the Pacific from the comfort of the estate. Alaya is the kind of place that rewards stillness just as much as adventure.
