Set on a generous landscaped lawn that flows directly down to the sand, the resort offers guests the classic tropical beach experience: ocean breezes, palm trees, warm water, sunsets, a spacious pool, cocktails at the bar, and relaxed beachfront dining.

This is not just a property. It is a running hospitality business with rooms, restaurant, bar, commercial kitchen, utilities, generator backup, staff, and an established guest experience already in place.

Property Overview

Beachfront Lifestyle & Guest Experience

The heart of the property is the beautiful oceanfront lawn. This spacious landscaped area runs from the resort down toward the beach, creating an inviting tropical setting for guests to relax, dine, swim, sunbathe, and enjoy the Pacific coastline.

The pool, bar, and restaurant all sit directly along this beachfront lawn, giving the resort a laid-back but polished atmosphere. Guests can spend the day in the pool, walk the sand, order cocktails, enjoy dinner, and never need to leave the property.

The bar offers exotic cocktails, beer, wine, and a relaxed beachfront social atmosphere. The restaurant serves high-quality cuisine from around the world, along with local favorites prepared in the resort’s large commercial kitchen.

Turnkey Hospitality Business

Las Lajas Beach Resort is set up as a true turnkey operation. The property is furnished, operational, and supported by an experienced staff that helps the business run smoothly. For a buyer looking to step into a lifestyle business with established infrastructure, this is a rare find.

The resort benefits from:

• Existing hotel operations
• Furnished rooms and common areas
• Large commercial kitchen
• Restaurant and bar infrastructure
• Pool and guest lounging areas
• Staff in place and willing to stay

There are very few opportunities where a buyer can acquire a functioning beachfront hotel in Panama with this level of lifestyle appeal already built in.

Location: Playa Las Lajas, Chiriquí

Playa Las Lajas is one of the favorite beach destinations for residents of David, Panama’s second-largest city, and a growing destination for travelers exploring Chiriquí, Boquete, and the Pacific Coast.

The beach is known for its long stretch of sand, warm water, relaxed atmosphere, and family-friendly feel. With approximately 13 kilometers of beach, Las Lajas offers space, beauty, and a more tranquil experience than many busier resort towns.

The resort is well positioned:

• Directly on Playa Las Lajas
• Approximately 75 minutes from David
• About two hours from Boquete
• Accessible to both Panamanian and international guests
• Appealing for weekend getaways, vacations, retreats, and beach escapes

As Panama continues to attract international residents, investors, retirees, executives, and traveling families, beach destinations like Las Lajas are well positioned for continued long-term interest.

Utilities & Infrastructure

The property is connected to municipal electricity and includes a 75-KVA automatic generator, helping ensure guests continue to enjoy lights, television, and air conditioning even during outages.

This is a major operational advantage for a beachfront hospitality business, especially in a tropical market where guest comfort is essential.

Additional infrastructure includes:

• Municipal electricity
• 75-KVA automatic generator
• Water reserve tank
• Internet and cable readiness
• Cable TV
• Storage
• Reception room
• Commercial kitchen
• Pool and outdoor guest areas

The Surf of Las Lajas

Las Lajas is not an exposed, heavy-wave surf capital, but it does offer warm-water Pacific beach-break surf right out front. The waves are generally mellow and approachable, making the area ideal for beginners, longboarders, body surfers, families, and relaxed daily sessions.

For more advanced surfers, the greater Chiriquí coastline opens the door to stronger reef, point, and island setups when south and southwest swells turn on. This makes Las Lajas a comfortable beachfront base with gentle surf at the property and access to more serious surf adventure within the broader region.

For the ISP buyer, the appeal is clear: a beachfront resort with warm water, ocean views, beach-break fun, and proximity to one of Panama’s most scenic coastal regions.

For the right buyer, this is more than a hotel. It is a chance to live and work at the beach, welcome guests from around the world, and own a unique oceanfront business in one of Panama’s most inviting coastal regions.

There is hardly a more agreeable way to earn a comfortable income than operating a beachfront resort with palm trees, warm water, a pool, restaurant, bar, and the Pacific Ocean at your doorstep.
