Isla Gitana is a 200‑plus‑acre private island in the Pearl Islands of Panama, identified as the next evolution of a privacy‑driven resort concept modeled after Gladden Private Island in Belize. The vision for Gitana centers on developing multiple luxury villas, each positioned on its own multi‑acre parcel to ensure maximum seclusion. The project is designed with privacy as the primary principle, and the owner is seeking an experienced developer aligned with this approach to bring the concept to completion.
The Property
The island spans more than 200 acres of lush greenery and white sand beaches. Features include numerous beaches, a natural bay suitable for a marina, and a landscape that supports one of the richest marine and bird sanctuaries in the region. The island’s shape and position within the archipelago create a naturally protected anchorage, and the main beaches face open water to maintain privacy from passing vessels. Isla Gitana is fully titled and ready for development.
The Land and Water
Gitana includes extensive beachfront, natural vegetation, and a bay suitable for marina planning. The surrounding waters support marine life and bird habitats, contributing to the island’s suitability for low‑density luxury development. Its location within the Pearl Islands provides access to whale watching, fishing, diving, and other water‑based recreation.
Access and Utilities
The Pearl Islands region offers the infrastructure necessary to support resort development and staffing.
The Lifestyle
Isla Gitana supports a development concept focused on privacy, seclusion, and high‑end villa living. Its beaches, protected anchorage, and natural surroundings create an environment suited to luxury retreat use. The island’s scale allows for multi‑acre parcels designed to maximize privacy for each villa. With its location in the Pearl Islands—an area known for natural beauty, limited development opportunities, and long‑term preservation—Gitana presents a rare opportunity for a private resort project modeled on the Gladden concept.
