3 of Panama’s Most Luxurious Neighbourhoods

Want the benefits of a tropical paradise with the security of home? It’s no wonder you’re thinking about Panama!

Considering retirement in Panama can be tricky. With many people from all over the world flocking to the Central American gem, it might feel overwhelming to decide on your home away from home. Luckily, within Panama City and outside of it are many areas that are safe, clean, and luxurious.

Here’s a quick breakdown of just three of Panama’s most desirable neighbourhoods that can help point you in the right direction.

1. Punta Pacifica

With people calling it the “Dubai of the Americas,” there is no way that Punta Pacifica could not be on this list. This inner-city area is an entertainment quarter nestled into the coastline. Featuring the tallest building in Central America, this area is a mini-metropolis with ferries directly to tropical rainforests and lush seaside views.

With websites like househunterspanama.com, you’ll find no shortage of luxury houses, apartments and more. No wonder this secret gem is spilling over with people looking for a luxurious retirement spot. With more people moving to the district yearly, it’s rapidly becoming an international hotspot.

2. Costa del Este

The warm, tropical climate draws British ex-pats every year, but they aren’t the only ones moving to this country—there’s been a new wave of U.S residents finding homes in Panama too. The country’s international appeal is evident when you look at the self-sustaining community in places like Costa del Este.

Close to the capital, this small “city within a city” is both desirable and practical. With schools, shops, restaurants and more, you can enjoy beachside luxury without sacrificing a neighbourhood feel.

One-ninthof the total population of Panama lives in Panama City, which means the inner city can feel claustrophobic. Getting just a little out of the city centre can do wonders for those looking for a slice of the quiet life. A paradise city on the outskirts of a bustling metropolis gives you the best of both worlds: privacy, security, and luxury!

3. Casco Antiguo

While many neighbourhoods in Panama are modern developments, Casco Antiguo delivers a bit of history to your doorstep. The old quarter dates back to the 1600s and is a UNESCO world heritage site. Now, along with museums and sun-drenched plazas, it is also one of Panama’s most luxurious neighbourhoods to make your new home.

These picturesque paved streets and historical buildings would look at home in the most ancient of southern Europe’s cities. Plus, the nightlife and gastronomy scene make it a luxury you can’t afford to pass up. Famed for its seaside menu, this area features everything from fine dining to local street food full of culture.

Conclusion

Panama is a hidden gem for those looking to retire in paradise. The city is currently safer, energy-efficient and more livable than ever. All three of these areas would make a fantastic home for anyone who wants to spend their autumn years with the sun, sea and vibrant culture.
