Escape to Gobernadora Island, Panama

Gobernadora is a small island south of Veraguas; Cebaco, a neighboring island with a beautiful little town, is a place of nature and unique beauty where flora and fauna invite visitors to live an experience of relaxation and tranquility and appreciate the deep nature.

Gobernadora is at the mouth of the Gulf of Montijo, in a place of calm waters where dolphins frolic at will and humpback whales are around its shores, lost at times between the deep blue sea and green velvet, to the delight of the eyes of those few patients who exercise to contemplate. It is located just north of the island Cébaco, between the wetland of international importance Gulf of Montijo and the Coiba National Park, which is part of the “buffer zone.”

The island is in contrast to our hectic city life, as there are no roads, cars, or motorbikes. This small island of only 8 km², with beaches of gray and white sand lapped by crystal-clear freshwater sources, found its harmony in the midst of the prevailing rocky landscapes and mangroves.

Gobernadora Shores are black and white sand, mangroves, and rocky beaches. Its lush natural beauty provides the perfect setting for many outdoor activities. Hiking, diving, camping, fishing, boat rides, crafts, and ceramics workshops, or simply coming and going in a hammock accompanied by the relentless symphony of birds, are just some examples of what this place offers.

It is recommended to stay at Art Lodge, which has cabins of a rural type with the necessary amenities to enjoy their stay.
