Isla Gallina is an 8.8‑hectare fully titled private island in Panama’s famed Pearl Islands—one of the most desirable archipelagos in Central America. Located just 30 miles from Panama City and directly across from Viveros Island, it offers exceptional accessibility paired with complete tropical seclusion. With golden beaches, crystalline water, mature fruit trees, and existing infrastructure, the island is perfectly positioned for a private estate or boutique development.
The Property
The island features three elevated building points—one at each corner—providing expansive, unobstructed views in every direction. More than 3,000 palms and fruit trees have been planted, including mature coconut, mango, lemon, lime, and orange trees. A natural freshwater spring enhances long‑term sustainability, while existing infrastructure includes:
- Concrete loading ramp
- Two large 1,080‑gallon polyethylene water and septic tanks
- Two building foundations and a pool foundation ready for construction
- These elements offer a significant head start for development.
The Land and Water
Isla Gallina boasts three golden‑sand beaches, clear turquoise water, and lush vegetation. The island supports diverse wildlife, including herons, pelicans, and other seabirds. The surrounding waters are rich with marine life—lobster, corvina, and a variety of tropical fish thrive here, making it ideal for snorkeling, diving, and fishing.
Access and Utilities
The island is exceptionally accessible for a private Caribbean‑style retreat:
- 10 minutes from the new Isla Viveros Resort, marina, and airport
- 15 nautical miles from Isla Contadora
- 15 minutes by plane or 1.5 hours by boat from Panama City
This proximity to the mainland and nearby resort infrastructure makes logistics, provisioning, and guest access remarkably easy.
The Lifestyle
Isla Gallina offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. Its beaches, fruit groves, freshwater spring, and panoramic building sites create an ideal setting for a luxury residence or eco‑friendly resort. With its existing foundations and utilities, the island is ready for a visionary owner to bring their project to life in one of Panama’s most celebrated island regions.
