Isla Palenque

Robinson Crusoe by Joseph Conrad inspired Benjamin Loomis to live on Isla Palenque, a tropical island. Ben has resided on Isla Palenque for the past five years, often sleeping in a beachfront hammock. He is utterly captivated by the island and its enigmatic history. Isla Palenque was once inhabited by an ancient, pre-Columbian community, and indigenous tribes named it "Palenque," meaning sanctuary. Centuries later, the island remains a secluded haven for rare primary forests and numerous species of plants, animals, and birds. Ben, an architect and design-builder, used his expertise to develop the island resort while preserving its extraordinary essence. From the design and furniture to the Secrets of the Island Tour and the Casita accommodations, Ben's reverence for the island is evident. Today, Isla Palenque is a sanctuary for inquisitive travelers seeking a picturesque beachfront and rainforest experience intertwined with natural beauty and ancient history. It is the first luxury island resort of its kind in Panama, featuring eight modern Casitas and a Villa Estate. Welcome to the enchanting world of Isla Palenque, reminiscent of a fantasy island from your favorite novel. Isla Palenque Resort proudly belongs to the Cayuga Collection of Sustainable Luxury Hotels & Lodges. Through its commitment to environmental awareness and sustainability programs, Isla Palenque represents a new era of hoteliers championing intelligent luxury travel.
