This place is absolutely incredible! The yoga in the morning is the best i've ever experienced, and the adventure trips are so much fun!
Especially the howler monkey hike and surfing.
Every single guide is so skilled and impressive.
The food is unbelievably good and their ability to remember and how much they care about providing you with a wonderful meal in line with any food sensitivities/allergies carefully noted to avoid; the staff truly cares so much, it makes you feel incredibly special. Carlos especially was fantastic to chat with and be around. His drinks were incredible and he gave the most fantastic recommendations for the rest of our travels in Panama city. The care and kindness you will experience here is unmatched.

I had the pleasure of staying at Selva Terra in July as my uncle celebrated his 40th birthday there. I was really looking forward to this trip as I’d never been to Central America before, and it was long awaited. Everyone in our group were friends and family and we flew in from all over the world. Me and my husband flew in from London (12 hours flight) and decided to stay overnight in Panama City. The resort took care of all the logistics even in the capital. When we got off the plane, we were greeted by a lovely lady who took us through customs and brought us to our driver. We spent the night in the Sofitel and the next morning did some souvenir shopping and checked out the Panama Canal. Then we took the domestic flight to David to head to the island. I 100% recommend asking them for assistance in Panama City, it removes the logistical headache from travelling or feeling lost when you arrive, which is worse when you’ve travelled so far.
When we arrived in David, the journey to the resort took around 1 hour which went by really fast as the boat ride to the island is just stunning. Once we arrived, we had our welcome drink, checked in, and were given a briefing on the tours during our stay. Everything was really organised, you can tell they specialise in group bookings. We did the monkey hike, surfed and kayaked near the mangroves and did an island hopping day too. On our rest day, we had a barbeque on their beach, played volleyball and swam.. you have the whole beach to yourself. This part of the world is truly magical, the resort is private and exclusive, there are plenty of activities, the area is not touristy and you really feel like you are in paradise. I would return in a heartbeat.

The island resort is amazing. We got to the Island late on Friday night as our plane in from Panama City was delayed. Our bus driver was there waiting for us and he loaded us up and we ended up having to go a different route due to it being dark. There are a lot of floating logs in the channel so we drove to Boca Chica and went for a short boat ride to the island. We were met by Aneth when we arrived. The resort, staff, food, libations, etc… were off the charts. The fishing was awesome. They put us on the bite 3 days in a row. I highly recommend Selva Terra. We are going back in February 2025 and have added an extra night in Panama City.
