If you’ve been watching Island Hunters on HGTV, then YOU KNOW the jaw-droppingly sumptuous private islands that are out there on the market. Every week on our Island Report, we’re bringing you a hot new property you DIDN’T see on the show. Here are the gorgeous little ocean hideaways you’ll probably never in a million years own, but, OH!, to pretend for a moment or two. Check out CEBACO ISLAND off the coast of Panama! Palm trees, white sand, vistas – what’s not to love? Ugh, you need it, I need it…we all need it.
More about Cebaco Island via Private Islands Online:
Just off Panama’s Pacific coast, nestled between nationally protected marine areas in the Gulf of Montijo, is tropical Cebaco Island.
Seen from above, the island looks like an emerald set in a sea of sapphire. Facing the open Pacific on the island’s Southwestern side, is Cebaco Private Biosphere, a unique real-estate opportunity.
Catching the eye are rolling hills, palm-fringed coves with sandy beaches, cascading waterfalls and dramatic rock formations.
Humpback and sperm whales migrate through the area and four species of turtles, giant manta rays and dolphins can be spotted just offshore.
The island rises 349 m above sea level. Large swaths of its 80 km2 area are covered in dense rainforest. The northern shore hosts a small fishing community. Most of Cebaco Private Biosphere is approximately 1,500 ha consist of lush rainforest cover.
Over two dozen tranquil bays and beaches lie hidden along the property’s 12,000 m of winding coastline. The hills offer panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and mainland.
A small portion of the property hosts an innovative reforestation project using exclusively native hardwood species.
The four bedroom beachhouse on Playa El Cedro has sweeping ocean views along a private beach. Despite the fact that the island is less than 10 km offshore and a short flight from Panama City, the island maintains a feeling of seclusion and privacy.
