Endorsed by Tourism Director Tuti de la Guardia, who notes, “People arrive for vacation and realize they can live here better, “Ocean Reef Island is a preferred location for families seeking a primary or secondary residence, thanks to Panama’s convenience, safety, and cosmopolitan culture.
Investment Through Scarcity
Ocean Reef Islands is one of the rarest forms of real estate in Panama. Only 137 lots remain, and supply continues to tighten — currently down 7% year-over-year. This scarcity, combined with strong demand from international buyers, supports stable pricing and long-term value growth.
Typical gross rental yields range from 6% to 8%, depending on property type and lease structure. Investors view Ocean Reef as both a lifestyle purchase and a generational asset, a property that benefits from limited supply, global appeal, and ongoing infrastructure enhancements in Panama.
Ocean Reef Islands represents the highest expression of luxury living in Panama: a community defined by privacy, architectural excellence, global accessibility, and long-term security. For investors and families seeking stability in a world of change, Ocean Reef Islands stands as a testament to enduring real estate opportunities in the region, offering a secure and confident investment.
