Why Choose the Premium Cabin in San Blas?

The Premium Cabin at Pelicano Island is the most exclusive option available in the San Blas archipelago, Panama. Unlike our other cabin types, it features an en-suite private bathroom inside the room and a privileged location directly facing the Caribbean Sea. It is the ideal choice for couples seeking a honeymoon or romantic escape, as well as small families who do not want to compromise on comfort. The island is internationally recognized as the actual filming location for Netflix's La Casa de Papel (Money Heist), where the characters Tokyo and Rio lived in this same Caribbean paradise of Guna Yala.

The price of $175 USD per person (1 night) is fully all-inclusive: shared 4x4 pickup from your accommodation in Panama City (between 5:30–6:00 AM), speedboat transfer to Pelicano Island, breakfast, fresh catch lunch, dinner, guided tours to Starfish Island (Isla Estrella) and the Natural Pools (Piscinas Naturales), free use of kayaks and snorkeling gear, and a beach bonfire at night. For stays of more than one night, contact us privately for custom rates. 100% direct booking with the local Guna family owners, no intermediaries.
