Sol Bungalows is a boutique overwater bungalow Bed and Breakfast located on the Sunset Coast of Isla Solarte in Bocas del Toro, Panama. We are the #1 rated overwater bungalow hotel in Panama!
Our entire property is off-grid, being powered by the sun with solar energy and all of our water is harvested from the rain. Our mission is to be sustainable and beneficial to our environment and our small island community of Solarte Uno, where our local staff come from. We have a tropical permaculture farm that supplies our restaurant for breakfast and dinners, and we source as much as we can from our local neighbors like organic eggs and traditional coconut bread.
We specialize in providing our guests with bespoke experiences tailored to their interests and desires. Our small size with only 4 overwater bungalows lets us provide each guest with personal attention and guidance, ensuring a smooth and worry-free trip to Bocas del Toro. We will recommend and reserve all tours and activities so all you have to do is tell us what you want to do each day and we will take care of the rest!
