Panama is one of the top destinations on my global real estate beat…
Featuring stunning coastlines, warm weather year-round, affordable, high-quality healthcare, and a vibrant lifestyle with activities for every taste, it has become a magnet for tourists, retirees, and expats alike.

Panama has been attracting investors, expats, and tourists for decades. They come for:
- The country’s unique geography, connecting the Pacific Ocean with the Caribbean Sea.
- The diverse landscapes, from tropical rainforests to pristine white-sand beaches.
- Its global importance as a trade hub—it’s home to the Panama Canal, a linchpin of international commerce.
- The cosmopolitan energy of Panama City—the only true First-World city in Central America—boasting a skyline ranked the 25th biggest in the world, outpacing cities like LA, Miami, and Beijing.
- Its rapidly growing economy, drawing multinational corporations with favorable tax laws, world-class banking, and a top-tier international airport with non-stop flights to 94 destinations across 39 countries.
I could go on…
