The most sought after are the banks of the Pacific, starting in the Capira district, continuing through the area of Coronado, San Carlos and Farallon in Cocle. The same situation occurs in the Azuero Peninsula and extends to the province of Chiriqui, such as the Barqueta resort.

On the coast of the Caribbean in Colon there are also projects such as the community of San Marino.

"Projects in Gorgona, Coronado, Vista Mar, Río Mar, Bijao, Santa Clara and Azuero, among other places in the Pacific, supply this luxury segment ranging from $500,000 to $3 million", notes an article in Prensa.com

"Factors such as location, architectural designs (primary building materials), privacy and amenities such as the inclusion of hotels, restaurants, golf courses, equestrian clubs, shopping centers and recreation areas make these projects achieve very high prices."
