01 Sneak Peek

What is it about?

Panama – Playa Venao

Playa Venao is in the Province of Pedasi, Los Santos. The drive from Tocumen Airport (PTY) is about 5 hours on perfect roads. Some guests prefer to rent a car and drive themselves! Arriving into Playa Venao is like stepping out of a time machine into a lost tropical paradise. The 2 mile horseshoe bay is so pristine with jungle all around and clean consistent waves peeling across the bay… it can seem very surreal.

The small town gives off just that, the small town chill vibe. With a smattering of hotels dotted along the sands and a few well placed restaurants to conquer the appetite, this town, the people, the surf, the vibe will take hold of your senses. This place is exactly what Nosara was some 15 + years ago before Nosara was “found”.
If you are looking for a quiet, cozy nook in Central America with the blessings of excellent surf and friendly locals, you have come to the right place in Playa Venao.

Villa Marina Hotel

This hotel is Panamanian owned and operated providing you an authentic, cultural experience. Because this hotel is locally owned and run there is a certain feeling of welcome that you just can’t find at a corporate type accommodation. The chill and relaxed vibe is encompassing. But don’t let the relaxed vibe fool you …the customer service is top shelf! In addition to (10) beachfront hotel rooms, Villa Marina also offers 2 and 3 bedroom condos for rent as well! This hotel is highly recommended by Safari Surf if you are looking for amazing local Panamanian hospitality.
