Fun Facts

  • The island is located in the most pristine and secluded area of the Bocas del Toro archipelago, on the northern Caribbean coast of Panama
  • It’s an Eco-friendly resort! Urraca has found a way to provide a unique and meaningful experience while protecting the environment, decreasing carbon footprint, and creating opportunities that benefit the neighboring indigenous Ngabe community.
  • The island is 100% powered by solar panels and solar lights. Freshwater resources are collected through a rain catchment system.
  • To avoid the use of plastic only stainless steel straws are available along with unlimited drinking water in reusable glass bottles.
  • The staff is composed of indigenous women from the local Ngäbe village. All seafood and seasonal fruits are bought directly from Ngäbe fishermen and farmers.
