The Buenaventura
Golf & Beach Resort
Pacific Riviera · Coclé · PanamaThe golf resort you don't expect in Panama
A Nicklaus course on the Pacific, luxury villas and eight restaurants. All inside Marriott's Autograph Collection.
Buenaventura sits on the Pacific Riviera, ninety minutes from Panama City. And five minutes from Río Hato airport.
It was named resort of the year and Leading Hotel Suite in Panama. You feel it the moment you walk in.
It's golf, of course. But it's also a private beach, a marina, a spa and a wildlife park with over 250 species. Your client can spend a week here and never repeat a day.
A Nicklaus between the ocean and the jungle
18 holes, par 72, and one of the best rounds in all of Panama.
The course carries the Nicklaus Design signature. A demanding, natural layout that plays as well for a scorecard as it does for a walk.
To warm up there's a driving range with chipping and putting greens. And a three-hole par 3 to sharpen the short game.
For the serious player, the Cobra Performance Centre with GEARS: high-speed cameras, 3D analysis and pros who read your swing.
A room with a view or a villa with a pool
114 rooms, from 50 to 122 square metres, all recently refurbished.
- The Buenaventura Suite. Over 100 square metres for clients who want room to breathe.
- The villas. 400 square metres, four bedrooms with private bath and private pool. Built for groups and families.
Perfect for a golf group that wants to play all day and not fight over the bathroom at night.
Eight places to eat without leaving the resort
From Panamanian rice and chicken to sushi. Eight restaurants and bars, each with its own mood.
- Criollo. Local Panamanian cooking.
- El Faro Beach Club. Fish and seafood on the sand.
- Tai Kai. Sushi and Japanese.
- Tagua Grill, Hoyo 19, Palapa, Chiringuito and the New Lobby Bar. For the rest of the day.
Your client never has to leave for dinner. Though the 19th hole has its own bar, just in case.
Far more than eighteen holes
Ten pools, two jacuzzis, a marina and the Corotú Spa, with ancestral treatments across five rooms.
- On the water: kayak, sailing, snorkelling, jet ski, parasailing and water skiing.
- On land: tennis, cycling and horseback riding.
- Its own wildlife park with more than 250 species, from monkeys to Panamanian cats.
And if your client wants to see the country: El Valle de Antón, the Panama Canal, the El Caño archaeological site or Hacienda San Isidro, all close by.
The airport is closer than you think
- Río Hato, Scarlett Martínez (RIH). 11 km, 5 minutes. Practically next door.
- Tocumen, Panama City (PTY). 140 km, around two hours on the motorway.
