If you’d like a luxury beachfront apartment less than an hour from Panama City, find your personal paradise at  Beachfront tranquility at Panama City’s doorstep We’d like to introduce you to a lifestyle alternative that we feel is among the best for those who’d like to live either part time or full time here in Panama: Playa Serena beach side paradise. We believe that we’re offering one of the best and most cost-effective alternatives available here on the coast. Let me tell you why. First and foremost, we’re on one of Panama’s premier beaches, Playa Gorgona. At our beach you can hear the calm, warm Pacific waters lap gently against the shores against a background of parrots and songbirds calling from the nearby trees. Located at the base of a sweeping bay, the ocean is always tranquil and safe for swimming, even for the very old and very young. The white sand beach heads off in both directions, with overhanging trees at the water’s edge. What’s more, one of the main reasons that we chose this site was the fact that our luxury apartments are in a mostly residential area of weekend homes, rather than being situated among a strip of high-rises. Perhaps just as important however, is the fact that Playa Serena is only 50 minutes from Panama City, where you’ll have access to fine dining, world-class health care, and the best shopping in Central America. For those who want a home on the beach but don’t want to give up the attractions of city life, our location is perfect. But for routine items, we’re only a scant 5 minutes from the town of Coronado, with its fully-stocked supermarket and stores. When you need a couple of odd supplies or just want to stock the pantry, you’ll only need to travel a few miles to get all you require. A second home that’s second to none Our apartments are designed so that they may well be the main attraction during your stay here. For starters, every apartment has an ocean view, and is laid out to maximize your enjoyment of that vista. In many models, the walls of the living room and both bedrooms are constructed almost entirely of glass, providing a bright, open and cheery feeling that’s hard to imagine. And every finishing touch, from the ceramic tile to the faucets is of the highest imported quality. Each building is designed to have two high-speed elevators ready to whisk you anywhere between the second and twentieth floors without delay. Every amenity, from the gymnasium to the ballroom to the children’s play area is planned to accommodate the varying lifestyles of our residents. We’ve even set aside a spacious 54,000 square feet of common area on the property, where you can relax at poolside, have your friends join you for steaks on the barbeque, or just sip an ice-cold drink while looking out over the ocean. There will be gazebos to gather with your acquaintances and even a tennis court if you’re in the mood for a bit of exercise. When you’re ready for a swim in the ocean, it’s only a few steps away…and in case you’re tired after your swim, we’re even installing elevators to bring you up from the beach to the level of the common area and your apartment. Perhaps the best value on the Panama coast today The apartments come in three basic layouts, all of which take advantage of the ocean view. We offer 2 or 3 bedroom models, which range between 1184 and 1345 square feet in size. During this special pre-construction offering, prices start at $132,000 and increase $1,000 per floor. Yet our largest apartment on the top floor is still only listed at $171,000, among the best values on the Panama coast today. As a special offer for clients from International Living we’ll even take another $500 off of these prices for early buyers.* You’ll be in the world’s premier retirement location Perhaps best of all, is the fact that you’ll have a home near a truly world-class city, in a country that’s widely known to be the best retirement haven in the world, with tax incentives and a financial infrastructure second to none. If you’d like to learn more about why Panama is the world’s best place to retire, please contact us at your earliest convenience.
