The Hummingbird

0 1 2 3 4 5

A rustic boutique lodge on a stretch of unspoilt coastline with a lush rainforest backdrop.

Located on Bluff Beach, one of the most impressive beaches in the archipelago – in a wild, untamed way – and an important nesting site for marine turtles, The Hummingbird has a real off-the-grid feel to it.

There are only six rooms, each one thoughtfully designed with handcrafted king size beds and furniture, as well as a private deck with views through the tropical foliage towards the sea. Advanced solar equipment is used to produce its electricity and water is harnessed through a filtered rain catchment.

A variety of water-based activities are on offer but for those guests just wanting to relax there’s a swimming pool and plenty of hammocks, as well as a bar and restaurant.

What our clients say

Most memorable experience: “Tranquillo bay was a cut above everything else. Staying on Waidup (near Isla Tigre) was also special.”
MH, Chiswick Dec 2013
Panama was far more interesting than what we thought it would be, particularly the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Bio Diversity Museum.
CY, Heathfield Jan 2020
We enjoyed all locations which were very diverse and equally memorable.
IB, Chesterfield Apr 2017
"Bocas del Toro was great fun and frivolous and a great journey there by boat."
GS, Bushey Jun 2013
Because of my interest in shipping, the Panama Canal partial transit was fascinating.
JB Apr 2012
We didn't realise the partial canal transit would be in such a big boat with loads of other tourists - not a problem, but would have been good for this…
