Isla Palenque
A 400-acre private island in the Gulf of Chiriquí, Isla Palenque holds eight casitas and one six-bedroom villa across seven beaches, giving it a guest-to-space ratio that no mainland resort can replicate. Designed by an architect-owner who lived on site for five years, the thatched-roof structures are embedded in forest, out of sight of one another, with meals drawn from ingredients grown on the island itself. Rates from $1,489.
