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

Highlights: “Locks on the Panama canal and Panamax vessels up close.”
MC, Fulham Nov 2012
We enjoyed all locations which were very diverse and equally memorable.
IB, Chesterfield Apr 2017
Most memorable experience: “Tranquillo bay was a cut above everything else. Staying on Waidup (near Isla Tigre) was also special.”
MH, Chiswick Dec 2013
Each part of my trip had a special moment. I loved both the new and old parts of Panama city, but my highlight there was seeing sloths while walking up…
TF, Wakefield Jun 2018
Most Memorable Moment?: Too hard to choose one. Panama Canal Transit was a lifelong ambition.
NA, London Mar 2017
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…
NF, Tunbridge Wells Apr 2013
