Intercontinental Playa Bonita

From the rainforest, you’ll head southeast to Intercontinental Playa Bonita, which sprawls over its own private stretch of beachfront overlooking the Gulf of Panama.

• Several onsite restaurants: Savor fresh seafood at Lighthouse Restaurant, or dig into a beachfront buffet at Pelican Grill. Close out the evening with cocktails and karaoke or live piano tunes at one of the resort’s lounges.
• Take a dip in outdoor infinity edge pools bordered by palm trees.
• 10,000-square foot spa featuring 12 treatment rooms, where you can drift off with a Reiki massage or a hydrotherapy soak; meditation rooms also available
• Ocean-view rooms: Step out onto your private balcony to feel the ocean breeze and look out on the water.

Panama: Beach Paradise with Bustling Capital City

Panama, the southernmost country in Central America, has at times been overshadowed by its well-known neighbor to the north, Costa Rica. But in recent years, that trend has started to change. Adventurers are setting their sights on Panama’s beaches, which are often less crowded and commercialized than those in other warm-weather destinations. Much of Panama’s shoreline looks as it has for hundreds of years. Farther inland, there are tropical rainforests such as Chargres National Park, etched with rivers and lush highlands. In fact, nearly one-third of the country has been designated as protected land or turned into national parks.

Though the Panama Canal may be one of the country’s most famous landmarks, it’s far from the only attraction worth a visit. The capital, Panama City, has enjoyed renewal in recent years; expect skyscrapers, modern condominiums, and an energy and nightlife that rival any big city. The Frank Gehry–designed Biodiversity Museum salutes local wildlife, considered some of the most diverse of any country in Central America. In the capital’s historic Casco Viejo district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, San Jose Church has drawn crowds since it was built in the 16th century; the church is home to an altar gilded entirely in gold leaf.
