Strategically positioned in the pristine Ciénaga de Cholón region of Barú, the resort masterfully integrates 65 meticulously designed bungalows that exemplify the perfect harmony between luxury and environmental consciousness. Through innovative architectural design, the property features 32 ground-level accommodations and 33 elevated treehouse-style units, each crafted to minimize environmental impact while maximizing guest comfort using sustainable materials, including pine wood and traditional thatched roofing.
Setting new industry standards, the resort's dedication to sustainability extends far beyond its architectural design. Hotel Las Islas - Barú has implemented comprehensive environmental initiatives, including a successful partnership with the Malpelo Foundation and creating together the mangrove reforestation project that has restored over 95.530 plants of vital ecosystem, an innovative coral planting program that has regenerated more than 250 square meters of reef habitat, and an innovative water desalination system that benefits both guests and the local community. Additionally, the property's purpose is to be a source of work for the local people; that's why 80% of the staff come from Barú, the nearest Afro community.
Redefining luxury accommodations, each bungalow, spanning 70 to 80 square meters, offers guests premium amenities, including Loto del Sur bath products, private seawater pools or freshwater Jacuzzis, and expansive decks. The resort's crown jewel, the wellness center, anchored by the Spa Niña Daniela, provides world-class treatments incorporating thalassotherapy, sound healing, and traditional healing practices.
