About this property
Ceramica 2, 2 bed, 1 bath, 5 min walk to surf at TropicalArts. Bocas
Welcome to TropicalArts Resort & Studios, a private collection of fully equipped apartments on Carenero Island, just a 3-minute boat ride from Bocas Town.
Each apartment is designed for comfort and flexibility, with AC, a dedicated workspace, a full kitchen, and a private terrace. Whether you want to cook at home, work remotely, or simply relax surrounded by nature, the space adapts to your stay.
The property is centered around a stunning 65,000-gallon pool, surrounded by lush tropical gardens and constant nature sounds that create a peaceful, homey atmosphere. It’s a place to truly disconnect from the busy energy of town while staying close enough to enjoy it anytime.
You’re just a 5-minute walk from some of the island’s best surf breaks, including La Punta, Black Rock, and Old Man’s, and about 10 to 15 minutes walking to La Playita beach. The area is quiet, private, and more relaxed than Bocas Town, making it ideal for unwinding after a day in the water.
Getting around is simple. Boats run frequently from early morning until evening, and we provide a detailed welcome guide with trusted local captains to make late-night returns easy and reliable.
Within walking distance, you’ll find great local spots like Coquitos for tacos and pizza, and Casa Acuario for a laid-back breakfast by the water.
What makes TropicalArts stand out is the balance it offers: privacy, nature, and space, combined with proximity to surf, beach, and town. With an on-site store, a large pool, and thoughtfully designed apartments, it’s perfect for surfers, couples, remote workers, and groups looking for a comfortable base in Bocas del Toro.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. The apartment also includes a washing machine.
