A private villa bed and breakfast on a rainforest island overlooking the sea
Isla Cristobal, Bocas del Toro, Panama
We specialize in beauty and tranquility
Just 15 minutes from Bocas Town by boat, Casa Selva del Mar offers privacy and tranquility....What eco-tourism is supposed to be. Here there are no cars, no discos, no wave-runners, no boom-boxes, nothing but the sounds of the ocean’s calm waters lapping gently against the shore, the trilling of birds, and the sounds of the jungle. Our two solar powered villas are uniquely constructed for the environment, with doors on four sides that can be fully opened to the screened, wrap-around deck. Each villa offers with stunning ocean views. Flowering gardens offer beauty and an abundance of bird life. Casa Selva del Mar is a perfect place to celebrate your honeymoon, anniversary, or commitment. (Click any photo to see a larger version.)
