New year, new you. First order of business, finding an off-the-beaten-track spot to escape to when the work doldrums set in. Why not try Coral Lodge? A hidden gem of a resort located in an undeveloped part of the Caribbean and one of the most idyllic coastal settings you will ever find.
Touted as Panama’s only dive habitat, beach resort and eco-lodge, there are six over-the-water thatched huts with king size beds, Jacuzzi tubs, hammocks, and private sundecks. These bungalows are spare but comfortable - there’s even a small dock so you can tie up a kayak right outside your back door.
There’s also a pool and restaurant/bar serving up fresh seafood all day; and the location is ideal for visiting the San Blas Islands (an archipelago of 365 tiny islands inhabited by the Kuna people) or scuba diving on one of Panama’s magnificent barrier reefs.
What more can we say? Clear waters, swaying palm trees, sheer and utter bliss.
Just hurry, before they get Wifi.
