Luxury holidays in Los Santos Province

Los Santos Province’s southern Azuero location makes for idle days basking under the Panamanian sun, surfing Playa Venao’s peaked Pacific waves, snorkelling through Isle Iguana’s coral reefs and gawking as Isla Cañas’s resident sea turtles nest. But the slow pace of this tradition-fuelled province doesn’t mean it’s lacking in adventures. Hike through Cambutal’s waterfalls, spy humpback whales and ride horses on the beach. Los Santos also has a reputation as the hub of Panamanian culture, so sample its markets, which teem with locals displaying handmade pollera skirts and custom cutarra sandals – leave lots of space in your suitcase.

When to go

Los Santos has a lengthy rainy season (from May to November), making January to mid-May the best times to visit – April is a prime Pacific surfing month. If you visit in February, be sure to align your stay with Las Tablas’s traditional four-day carnival.

Getting there

  • Planes

    You can either fly into Panama City’s main airport, Tocumen, and make a road trip of the six-hour coastal journey down to Los Santos Province; or fly into Scarlett Martinez International Airport, just under a four-hour drive from Los Santos.

  • Automobiles

    You’re unlikely to need one here, as most of your days are spent barefoot on the beach; but if you’d like the option of exploring further afield, there are plenty of car rentals at both airports and driving is fairly safe (as long as you’re patient).
