THE BUSINESS
Completed in 2025, the resort has been designed around the quintessential Bocas experience… the one people travel across the world to experience: waking up over clear Caribbean water where you can jump directly into the sea.
The proposed sale includes the company together with the existing resort operation, buildings, equipment, technical systems and transferable operating assets. The resort currently employs six staff members, including maintenance, housekeeping, bartending and kitchen personnel.
THE HOTEL
The heart of Coral Bay is its collection of six luxury overwater bungalows, connected above sparkling Caribbean waters. Each bungalow has been built with substantial timber construction, concrete ring foundations and traditional Palmex-style roofing, creating an aesthetic that feels naturally at home in Bocas while offering the comforts expected from a modern boutique resort.
Each unit includes:
- Private overwater terrace
- Direct access to the sea
- Separate bedroom
- Bathroom finished in microcement
- Hot and cold running water
- Mosquito screens on all windows
- Quiet ceiling fans
- Caribbean and mountain views
Guests can move directly from their terrace into the water for swimming, kayaking or paddleboarding. And after sunset, the experience continues — bioluminescence can be seen around the bungalows, adding another dimension to evenings on the water.
One of the six bungalows has been designed as a larger Honeymoon Suite, creating the resort’s premium accommodation.
It includes:
- Air conditioning
- Bang & Olufsen sound system
- Bang & Olufsen television
- Large kitchen
- Generous private terrace
- Direct sea access
- Space for private dining and personalized restaurant service
- The wide indoor-outdoor layout opens directly toward the bay
Beyond the six overwater units, the resort includes two additional land-based bungalows:
- One 3-bedroom bungalow
- One 1-bedroom bungalow
Both have their own independent water and solar-energy systems, allowing them to operate separately from the main resort infrastructure. This brings valuable flexibility for additional guest accommodation, management housing, longer stays or future operational needs.
The Hotel also includes:
- A commercial kitchen
- Laundry Facility
- Solar equipment room
- Workshop
- Additional boat garage

The land is currently in the titling process and is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.

Price context
This listing: USD1,750/m² — 14% below the median of USD2,042/m² across our 24 listings in this area.
Reading a price below the area level: a lower per-m² price can be genuine value — larger units price lower per m², and motivated sellers exist — but check the usual reasons first: renovation needs, noise exposure (roads, rail, flight paths), unfavourable floor or orientation, leasehold/servitudes, and pending building-fund obligations in condominiums.
No map data found nearby for: public transport, water proximity, schools, daily amenities, parks & recreation — worth asking the agent about these.
Positioning within our own current listings in the same area — asking prices per m², not an appraisal or market valuation. Size mix, condition, and plot differ between properties.
Investment factors
What to look for when judging a property's investment potential:

Green space nearby improves quality of life and supports value in dense areas.
