Finca Vela

Archipiélago de Bocas del Toro


This stylish ecolodge run by a French family lets you leave the world behind. There's snorkeling right off the dock, where there's also a shady hammock hut and restored cayucos (dugout canoes) for guest use. Well-designed cabins show minimalist elegance. Take a golf cart uphill to the restaurant with a daily menu of local products cooked up by the French chef.

It's five minutes by boat to Almirante, and 30 minutes to Bocas town. Contact via WhatsApp as there's no signal on-site.
