Cala Mia Boutique Resort

Chiriquí Province


Cala Mia on Isla Boca Brava offers luxurious ocean-front tranquility. Some 11 thatched bungalows have ample living spaces, handcrafted local furniture and their own deck with hammock. Two beaches – one with a bar – are just a stroll away, and a massage spa occupies its own islet, reached via suspension bridge. Organic three-course meals are served around a big community table.

Kayaks and snorkeling are included; other activities use the resort's own boats and guides. Marked trails offer some good hiking trips. A water taxi from the Boca Chica dock to the resort costs US$35.
