Casa Botanica | Chef Breakfast, Golf Cart & Pool
Perched on a hillside within the renowned Finca Los Monos Botanical Garden, Casa Botanica is a private tropical estate just 130m from the beach and minutes from Bocas Town. It consists of three separate living spaces spread throughout the property and can accommodate up to 10 guests.
Your stay includes our 6-seater golf cart at no additional charge, giving you the freedom to explore Bocas del Toro at your own pace, from beaches and restaurants to town and everything in between. Each morning, enjoy a freshly prepared chef breakfast served in-house, complete with coffee, juice, and your choice of a rotating continental breakfast menu. Best of all, there's no shopping, cooking, or cleaning up to worry about—just sit back and enjoy.
The estate features a private pool, fire pit, botanical gardens, jungle trails, ocean-view mezzanine, and multiple indoor-outdoor living areas designed for gathering, relaxing, and reconnecting with nature.
Why Stay Here?
Explore winding garden paths, relax beside the natural pond, enjoy ocean views from the mezzanine, or simply unwind in one of the many outdoor living spaces designed to embrace the beauty of Bocas del Toro. With your golf cart ready to go, you can easily venture beyond the estate and experience the island on your own schedule—whether you're heading to the beach, exploring Bocas Town, meeting friends for dinner, or discovering a new corner of the island. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, hosting a retreat, or enjoying time with family and friends, Casa Botanica offers the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, thoughtful hospitality, and island adventure.

The Space

The main villa features a spacious open-plan kitchen with a large eat-in island, living area with sofa bed, full bathroom, workspace, and a large covered deck with outdoor dining. Across a covered walkway is the private master suite with an ensuite bathroom and its own covered deck. Together, these spaces comfortably sleep up to 4 guests.
2. Ocean View Mezzanine
Above the main villa sits one of Casa Botanica's most unique spaces: a stunning open-air, double-storey mezzanine with sweeping views across the botanical gardens, rainforest canopy, and ocean beyond. Designed to embrace the tropical climate and surrounding nature, this elevated retreat is filled with comfortable lounge seating, oversized sofas, and cosy chairs, making it the perfect place to read, practise yoga, enjoy sunset cocktails, watch wildlife, or simply relax with the cooling ocean breeze. At the rear of the mezzanine you'll find a charming mini-bar with a small fridge and bar seating overlooking the jungle, perfect for sunset drinks or a quiet morning coffee. Upstairs is an open-air double bedroom with a dedicated workspace, allowing guests to wake up surrounded by birdsong and nature.
Please note there is no bathroom in the mezzanine. Guests use the bathroom in the main villa or master suite.

Amazing amount of wildlife- monkeys-toucans-parrots
This is a beautiful property in a botanic garden. One morning we had a serenade of monkeys to wake up to. Everynight a flock of parrots flew overhead going south. The beach was at the end of the driveway and town was a $1 cab ride away. The internet was fast, so we could get our work done also. This place is a must.
