Laid out around Frangipani Island, a verdant sweep of jungle, mangrove and coastline floating in the Caribbean waters of Panama’s Bocas del Toro archipelago, Nayara offers an intoxicating blend of natural beauty and world-class design. The architecture is inspired by the owner’s love of Bali, and a feel of barefoot luxury pervades the resort.
Accommodation options at the resort make the best of the spectacular surrounding land and seascapes. Overwater Private Pool Villas come with a saltwater plunge pool on the expansive deck, where you can relax and catch glimpses of passing marine life including dolphins. Alternatively choose a Water Window Villa, with a glass floor giving round-the-clock views of the underwater world darting beneath your feet, and a staircase providing easy access to warm Caribbean waters below. For a truly unique tropical experience, we recommend the IBUKU Island Treehouses. Designed by architect Elora Hardy, these unique bamboo hideaways are packed with inspirational features. Look out for Hobbit-style round doorways, oversized Javanese bathtubs made of hammered copper and a dumb waiter connecting the forest floor to the grand living area perched high in the canopy.
