On the tranquil leeward side of Bastimentos Island, Casa Cayuco Eco-Adventure Lodge is a rare gem in the heart of Panama’s Bocas del Toro archipelago. Accessible only by boat, this award-winning, off-grid eco-lodge offers the perfect balance of rustic charm, elevated comfort, and immersive nature experiences—just steps from a calm, swimmable Caribbean beach.

Recognised as a “Best of the Best” winner for 10 consecutive years and a GreenLeader Platinum-certified resort, Casa Cayuco is a model of sustainable tourism. The lodge welcomes up to 38 guests in eight handcrafted, open-air cabins—ideal for solo travellers, couples, families, and retreat groups seeking genuine connection with nature. Every stay at Casa Cayuco is an invitation to slow down and explore. Guests enjoy curated adventures like snorkeling vibrant coral reefs, kayaking through hidden mangroves, hiking lush rainforest trails, surfing, visiting local chocolate farms, and exploring Monkey Island or the nearby Ngäbe-Buglé indigenous village of Salt Creek.

Every stay includes: round-trip speedboat transfer from Bocas Town, daily chef-curated meals: breakfast, lunch, snack & three-course dinner, sea kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear, locally roasted coffee & 24/7 on-site support, and a guided tour of the Salt Creek village.

The lodge maintains a deep, long-term partnership with the Salt Creek community, with every guest contributing to local healthcare and education projects.

The culinary experience here is equally meaningful—vibrant, plant-forward meals inspired by global flavours and infused with a Panamanian twist, using local produce and fresh-caught seafood. Casa Cayuco is where nature, comfort, and sustainability converge in a truly unforgettable way.
