Panama Caribbean Treehouse Hotel

Nayara Bocas del Toro, Panama

Perhaps the Caribbean’s most dramatic treehouse accommodations are found at Nayara Bocas del Toro.

Located in the Bocas del Toro archipelago on Panama’s Caribbean coast, the property’s towering treehouses rise roughly 50 feet above the surrounding landscape, their design inspired by giant tropical trees and created by renowned designer Elora Hardy.

Large windows, open-air spaces and sweeping views create the feeling of living among the canopy while still enjoying every modern comfort.

Beyond your room, you’ll find crystal-clear Caribbean water, coral reefs, mangrove forests and some of the region’s best paddleboarding and snorkeling.

Most visitors reach Bocas del Toro by connecting through Panama City before taking a short domestic flight.
