Playa Caracol is in a different league to anything else in safe-haven Panama…
This glorious beachfront community sits on a vast sweep of pristine sand fronting warm Pacific waters renowned for their swimming, surfing, and deep-sea fishing. Behind lies Cerro Chame, a 1,837-foot mountain that attracts with day-trippers who come to picnic at waterfalls and hike up for the views.
This setting is unrivaled anywhere on Panama’s stunning Pacific Riviera (west of Panama City). Increasingly, so are the amenities in Playa Caracol…
Playa Caracol lies nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Cerro Chame Mountain, offering both hiking and swimming just minutes from your door.
You can dine in great restaurants. Get a massage on the beach, hire a private chef to cater for you and friends in your home…take a surf lesson…pop into the well-provisioned Caracol market for groceries…
Kids can take boogie boards out or build endless sandcastles on a beach that stretches for miles. You might book a yoga class by the sea, join a group paddleboarding, or spend the afternoon at the beach club where there’s set to be a bowling alley and a golf simulator.
In addition to what’s already in place, Panama’s first-ever Margaritaville under construction. There’s a new hotel called Sea Colony under development. A retail village is being built.
Playa Caracol is emerging as the premier beachfront community in Panama. And this is the moment to own here, before the world catches on.
That’s why I’m so excited to have a new, exclusive deal in Playa Caracol—it’s your chance to own a brand-new two-bed home a two-minute walk from the beach for mind-blowing pricing from $228,400.
Soon I’ll be bringing you the full details of this opportunity—and how you can take part in it…
On Tuesday, May 13 at 1 p.m. ET, I’ll take part in a special LIVE online event hosted by International Living Executive Editor Jennifer Stevens, where we’ll dig into the details of the new opportunity. You can add it to your calendar here . More details on that in just a moment—but first let me tell you more about the vision for Playa Caracol and how this opportunity comes to us…
Playa Caracol is entering its next phase with the arrival of Margaritaville, Radisson, and the development of a Sea Colony Hotel and retail village. RETA members are already sitting on uplifts of $100,000 buying off-market here, and it’s not too late to join them.
I visited Panama for the first time in the mid-2000s when it was in the midst of a stunning transformation. I could see the opportunity…
I spent time there and did a lot of research.
And I bought and sold property and did well from it.
In the two decades since, I’ve returned frequently and watched firsthand as Panama has evolved into a prosperous, modern country and a true global safe haven…
Over the years, I’ve built a network of contacts and brought members of my Real Estate Trend Alert (RETA) group a host of incredible deals in Panama.
Many of these deals were brought to life by Alfredo Aleman. He’s the exceptional developer behind our new opportunity: Oasis at Playa Caracol.
From man-made islands to beach communities in the Pacific Riviera, Alfredo specializes in bold and beautiful feats of imagination and engineering.
Today, I’ll give you a taste.
Let’s start with the true beachfront community of Playa Caracol…
About 17 years ago, the beach at Playa Caracol was hard to reach and undeveloped. Today, it’s emerging as the premier beachfront community in Panama.
Seventeen years ago, Alfredo brought me to a hidden stretch of coast, promising that if I could withstand a bumpy drive, I’d get to see one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Panama.
And he was true to his word.
Back then, this stretch of coast—in the “Pacific Riviera” area west of Panama City—was completely unknown and undeveloped.
But Alfredo had a vision to create a destination that would be truly and exclusively beachfront. The kind of place where people would savor ocean sunsets and easy evening strolls along the boardwalk. A beach resort town and community on a par with the best in the world.
Now his vision is being realized in Playa Caracol.
Today, Playa Caracol has hundreds of residential units. There’s a thriving surf club…a beach club…and the Radisson Riviera hotel, which includes a luxury spa, state-of-the-art gym, superb pool, and gourmet restaurants.
What he’s achieved here is remarkable…
And my RETA group has been ahead of this transformation in Playa Caracol, with a run of incredible deals.
- In January 2023 RETA members were able to buy ocean-view condos in Las Olas in Playa Caracol starting from $254,600. At the tail end of last year condos were listed with the developer for $355,580.
That’s an uplift of $100,980.
- RETA members bought in Surfside residences in Playa Caracol back in March 2020 at prices starting at $214,600. Similar condos were recently on sale by the developer at $330,000.
An uplift of $115,400.
Alfredo Aleman has a long history of other impressive projects too. I consider him and his GLP group the best developers in Panama.
He created two man-made islands in the Bay of Panama called Ocean Reef on which he and his group have now almost finished building one of the world’s few ultra-prime neighborhoods.
A world-beating feat of engineering and imagination…Ocean Reef is a luxury community on two man-made islands connected to the heart of down-town Panama City. Even I thought the developer was crazy but he’s created one of the world’s most exclusive neighborhoods.
RETA members were lucky enough to get in on two deals on the Ocean Reef islands.
- In November 2023 in Ocean Club Residences RETA members were able to buy two-bedroom condos for $590,039. A similar condo was sold for $757,039 in January 2024.
That’s an uplift of $167,000.
Here are a couple of renders giving you a feel for the amenities RETA members will be getting there…
Ocean Club Residences will be rich in luxury amenities with views of the city and the marina just a few seconds walk away…
- In 2021 RETA members could buy in Seascape on Ocean Reef from $783,000. In 2023 similar condos list for $995,000 and Alfredo has truly delivered.
That’s an uplift of $212,000 and ownership of incredible real estate…the very best in class.
And that’s what Alfredo Aleman does…
Incredible, visionary real estate…
Take our past deals with his group on best-in-class luxury real estate in Panama City as well…
- In June 2024 RETA members were able to buy penthouses in Ipanema for $632,200. Ipanema is set to be a landmark community rich in amenities on the city’s last prime waterfront site. In August 2024, the developer sold the exact same penthouses albeit in a different tower for $732,150.
That’s an uplift of $99,950 in less than three months!
The developer behind the new opportunity in Playa Caracol is Alfredo Aleman and he specializes in the bold and brilliant…he couldn’t resist the opportunity to create an iconic community at Ipanema.
- My scouts last September stumbled upon an outstanding performance in the prestigious Santa Maria community, also by Alfredo. There was a RETA deal in October 2020 there in Ocean House and a RETA member bought a two-bed condo for $268,200. My guys went to check it out. They were told it would list for more than $368,000. And that it’s renting long term for $2,600 a month.
That’s an uplift of almost $100,000 and a gross yield of nearly 12%. Renting long term!
Santa Maria is an exclusive master-planned community just outside Panama City’s downtown core. It covers 692 acres, every inch set apart from the outside world. Only residents and invited guests are let through the gates.
Alfredo Aleman and his GLP group only do exceptional, innovative best-in-class real estate.
That’s what he’s bringing us in our upcoming deal in Playa Caracol…
Spacious and well thought-out homes with stunning amenities all round, just a stroll to the sand…
And our price is phenomenal.
In the Oasis at Playa Caracol the pricing is just $228,400 for a two-bed garden home. I expect gains of $121,600 five years after delivery. Prefer rooftop living? The second-floor walk-up homes with private roof terraces start at just $282,400. And there’s exclusive developer financing! (Renders shouldn’t be considered final, but give us a great idea what to expect.)
Just think about how much beachfront or even waterfront costs around the world…
- In Dubai—like Panama, another of the world’s great trading hubs—condos close to the beach go for 10 times our RETA-only price.
- In Huntingdon Beach, California, from which the developer Alfredo took much of his inspiration for Playa Caracol, a condo this close to the sand will easily run $800,000 to over $1 million.
- In his world tour to understand what makes the perfect surf and beach towns, Alfredo also visited Waikiki Beach, Hawaii, and if you want to own a two-bed there near the beach expect to pay close to $2 million.
You can find condos for less if you look hard. A budget of $400,000 to $500,000 will get you a two-bed condo in a gated community in Jaco, on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. That’s a five minute walk to the beach. You’ll find condos close to the beach on Mexico’s Riviera Maya for that kind of money.
But with the new Playa Caracol deal, you can own a stunning home two minutes from a vast, pristine stretch of sand from the mind-blowing price of just $228,400.
It just underscores how incredible our Oasis deal is, getting a full beach community experience for a fraction of the cost…practically half the price!
I expect our gains will be spectacular—$121,600 five years after delivery.
As I say, on Tuesday, May 13 at 1 p.m. ET, I’ll take part in a special LIVE Panama beach homes online event hosted by International Living Executive Editor Jennifer Stevens. I’ll be sending you links to the event before we go live. You can also add it to your calendar here.
You can also have a call with one of our RETA concierges. The RETA concierge team has a single-minded mission: To help RETA members get the most out of their membership. Our two RETA concierges live in Panama full-time. And as part of opening this deal up to you, I’m giving you special access to the concierges. And you can contact the concierge team here.
Wishing you good real estate investing,
P.S. When you combine RETA’s history of standout deals with the track record of a visionary developer like Alfredo Aleman, you know you’re in safe hands. Just look at what he achieved with the man-made islands at Ocean Reef in Panama City—an extraordinary feat…
In June 2019 and June 2021 I brought RETA members a chance to own a condo in Seascape, part of Alfredo’s Ocean Reef community on two man-made islands in the Bay of Panama. RETA members could buy from $783,000. In 2022 a condo in Seascape listed for $995,000. That’s a boost of $212,000.
