Isla Secas

Why we like Isla Secas

With 14 islands of endless reefs and deserted beaches to explore, Isla Secas is much more than a luxury retreat.

Where the Whales Are

This remote archipelago is home to two humpback whale groups that swim these pristine waters at different times of the year. Watching them breach and blow is possible from both the shore and out at sea on sensitive whale-watching excursions.

Take to the Water

Unlimited non-motorised water sports are available to guests throughout their stay including snorkelling, paddle boarding, kayaking and surfing. Diving, fishing and wake-boarding are also available.

Dry Land

The archipelago is made up of 14 volcanic islands covered in dense jungle and thus rich in wildlife. Over 50 species of both migratory and resident birds can be found in the area. Isla Coca is home to Panama’s largest colony of frigate birds.  There are two miles of trails around the property home to rare plants, colourful hummingbirds and iguanas.

Sustainability

The creation of Isla Secas Resort was fuelled by a desire to protect the forest and marine environments of the Gulf Chirqui. Sustainability continues to be at the core of the resort’s ethos.

• 75 % of the archipelago has been left untouched.
• All energy needed for the resort is solar-generated.
• All food waste is recycled.
• Wastewater is used for irrigation.
• Thousands of native trees have been planted to restore the natural balance.
• Each year, educational whale-watching trips with scientists are given to school children to nurture environmental learning.
• The privately funded Isla Secas Foundation supports marine and wildlife conservation organisations and community endeavours in the area.
