Red Frog Hotel

Panama

From tropical rainforests teeming with wildlife to serene, palm-fringed beaches, Isla Bastimentos in Panama’s Bocas del Toro archipelago is nature’s playground, and its untouched splendour takes the fore at Red Frog Beach Island Resort.

Immerse yourself in island life at one of seven rustic Jungle Lodges – complete with stone-clad outdoor showers and balconies overlooking the canopies – or at an earth-toned, cliffside condo unit facing the Caribbean, ocean motifs and wicker furniture to match. Guests can soak up the sunshine on their private terraces or at waterfront restaurant The Point, and unwind with an open-air massage at the spa, tucked away in the valley. Adventure is also on the cards – whizz through the rainforest on a zipline tour, explore hidden shores via kayak or snorkel the coral reefs alongside sunfish and sea turtles. And, if you opt for an elegant villa stay (50 are dotted around the resort), expect visits from monkeys, sloths and the namesake red frogs.
