Sweet Bocas – a luxury refuge in Panama based on permaculture – has revealed new outdoor and adventure experiences, as well as an outline of new developments to reinforce its commitment to the environment.
Permaculture is a philosophy of working with nature to develop agricultural ecosystems intended to be sustainable and self-sufficient. Every component performs important tasks, for example: bees helping to pollinate, birds providing pest control and certain plants retrieving nitrogen out of the air and converting into a form that other plants can use.
Sweet Bocas’ commitment to their guests is matched only by their commitment to the natural environment that envelopes every aspect of their stay, from the crystalline water, to the handcrafted teak house, from the farm's hand picked produce to the pure rainwater that fills their glass. Visitors are invited to discover a complete local ecosystem with one of the highest biodiversity rates on the planet.
- Sweet Bocas Outdoor Adventures to explore the surroundings
Bastimentos National Park and Zapatilla Keys are part of the natural environment that underpins this paradise. Sweet Bocas has partnered with Origen Escapes to create unforgettable outdoor adventure experiences to discover the indigenous surroundings. These include an Exotic Fruit Harvest adventure, a Rain Forest Tribe Experience, an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Jungle Excursion and a Bat Cave activity. Guests have the opportunity of hiking through primary Caribbean rainforest, learning traditional hunting methods and crafting skills, sailing down the river in a traditional cayuco (handcrafted wooden dugout canoe) and also, travelling deep into the forest for a close encounter with sloths.
- NEW: ‘Sleeping Under the Stars’ Bamboo Structure
A true ‘glamping’ experience where camping meets luxury. Bespoke bamboo structures offering the same high levels of comfort as the Sweet Bocas bedrooms (i.e. same linens, same mattresses, Wi-Fi, A/C, etc.) but allow guests to reconnect with nature by counting stars instead of sheep to fall asleep, thanks to a polycarbonate roof. This material reflects the heat of the sun during the day and provides a clear view of the sky at night.
- NEW: Floating Pontoon
The new floating pontoon allows guests to drift around the private fresh-water lake, perhaps during a sunrise or sunset salutation yoga class or whilst experiencing a massage from one of Sweet Bocas’ dedicated massage therapists. The pontoon also floats during the evening allowing guests to enjoy a candlelit cocktail during this truly unique experience.
- Infinity Pool, For a ‘True Water’ Experience
The Infinity Pool is built within the ocean, and offers the choice of swimming in either fresh or salt water – the Sweet Bocas filtration system allows a fast change from one to the other.
