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.

  • Top experiences in Panama - going through the canal and exploring Panama City and surrounding area. I was surprised to find that Panama is not just the Canal Zone!
