Located on the Pacific Coast of Panama´s Azuero Peninsula, Villa Camilla is a tranquil oceanside retreat, emphasizing comfort, personalized service and simple orchestration within an intimate setting.

In 1997, French designer Gilles Saint-Gilles and his wife Camille arrived to Panama from Paris to visit friends and were immediately seduced by the region´s rich folkloric character and the gentle rolling hills. Drawing from a portfolio which includes Arab palaces, high-end apartments, designer fashion boutiques and renovations of medieval French castles, the couple stayed to create Azueros, an elegant oceanside community built in harmony with nature, blending exquisite design and Old World Craftsmanship. Villa Camilla is the first testament to this dream.

Construction of Villa Camilla began in March 2002 and was completed in August 2004. In December of 2005, the Villa opened its doors to guests from around the world.

At every corner, details testify to the architect´s aesthetic and the quality of Azueros´ craftsmen. Bougainvillea climbs the Venetian plaster hand-rubbed walls. Water trickles over the wide edges of the grand pool. The soothing Pacific breezes rustle the thatch covering and hammocks of the rooftop terrace.

Footpaths set in river stone wander through immaculate gardens of tropical flowers and trees. Unspoiled vistas stretch over gentle hills into a wide Pacific blue. All is visually enchanting and inspires peaceful relaxation.

We invite you to experience a unique and tranquil experience at Villa Camilla Boutique Hotel.

VILLA CAMILLA ACTIVITIES

Beaches

The Azuero Peninsula is bordered by a ribbon of secluded wide tan sand beaches. Azueros fronts several beaches including Playa Los Destiladeros and Playa Escondido. The nearby beaches may be explored by foot, mountain bike or horseback. Some of the best surfing beaches can be found in the province especially in Playa Venao, a forty minute drive from Los Destiladeros. Horse rentals and complimentary mountain bikes are available to guests.

Islands

Seven kilometers off the coast of Pedasí´s Playa Arenal, the Isla Iguana Wildlife Refuge is a fifty-eight hectare dry tropical forest with nine-kilometers of coasts ideal for diving and snorkeling along one of the best preserved coral reefs in the Gulf of Panama. Boats may be chartered locally to the fine white sand beaches bordered by crystal clear turquoise waters. Bright colorful crabs scatter along the path that traverses the island; flocks of red breasted frigates circle overhead; iguanas, turtles, and other native wildlife peer out from the rich vegetation, and humpback whales swim offshore. Another island designated as a wildlife refuge, Isla Canas is famous for the turtles that come to nest each year on its beautiful wide beaches, and it is accessed by boat through the mangrove covered canals.

Fishing

The blue waters of the Pacific off the Azuero Peninsula, Panama´s famed ¨Tuna Coast¨, offer some of the finest fishing.The rich tropical aquatic environment is teaming with fish including Dolphin, Yellow fin Tuna, Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Wahoo, Amberjack, Sierra Mackerel, Grouper and Snapper and whales, orcas and porpoises can be spotted on these excursions.

Cultural attractions

Rich in folkloric history, the capital city of Los Santos is Las Tablas, famous for its carnivals and believed to be the birth place of the Pollera, the intricately woven traditional Panamanien dress. Local workshops provide visitors with the opportunity to view this craft first-hand. There are also museums, national parks, churches and archeological sites to be explored. Among the many festivals and religious celebrations are: Carnival beginning the fourth day before Ash Wednesday; National Festival of the Pollera & Festival of the Patron Santa Librada, end of July, and Feria de Azuero, late April-early May.
