Private Island And Mainland Lot In Costa Arriba, Colon, Panama

Located in the scenic Costa Arriba region of Colón Province, Panama, Isla Cabra presents a truly unique investment opportunity by combining the natural beauty and privacy of a Caribbean island with the convenience of an adjacent mainland property. This exclusive offering includes both Isla Cabra and a mainland parcel of 7 hectares and 5,775.31 m²—ideal for developing a boutique resort, luxury private villas, or an eco-retreat. Just 700 meters from the coast and only a five-minute boat ride away, Isla Cabra offers easy access without compromising its sense of seclusion and exclusivity.

The island already has solid infrastructure in place, featuring eight structures: five residential buildings with bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, and terraces; a main house with a spacious bedroom, walk-in closet, private bathroom, and large terraces; worker housing with multiple rooms and utility areas; and a multi-use bohío (pavilion) perfect for events. Additional features include a swimming pool, helipad, docks, lighted walkways, stairs, and septic tanks. Isla Cabra is fully connected to essential services via submarine lines from the mainland, including potable water from the rural aqueduct, electricity provided by ENSA, 24/7 internet, cable TV, and cellular service.
A fascinating aspect of Isla Cabra is its agricultural history—decades ago, it was used for coconut production and export. As a result, the island is now covered with an abundance of towering palm trees that not only tell a story of its past but also create a lush tropical landscape, making it perfect for tourism or eco-development. Combined with calm-water beaches and vibrant coral reefs, the island is a natural paradise with breathtaking surroundings.

Adding to its charm, Isla Cabra has a cinematic legacy: it was featured in the film James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace. The island served as a stand-in for Haiti during a scene in which Bond arrives at a hotel by boat, walks along a pier, and watches a friend jump into the sea on a jet ski. This detail adds cultural and promotional value, especially for high-profile hospitality or branding initiatives.

The mainland property, located just two hours from Panama City, perfectly complements the island by offering ample space for additional development, logistical support, or service areas. Its proximity to landmarks such as Portobelo, Isla Grande, and Linton Bay Marina—with full docking and boating services—further enhances the value of this location. Together, Isla Cabra and its mainland counterpart offer an unparalleled combination of natural beauty, accessibility, infrastructure, and development potential, making it a rare gem in the Panamanian Caribbean, ready to become a world-class destination.
