The Buenaventura Golf & Beach Resort is located in Farallón. This resort is large and stunning—it has lush, tropical grounds and a huge assortment of amenities.

Farallón (also known as Playa Blanca) is a lovely beach along Panama’s Pacific coast. With soft white sand and calm water, it’s quickly becoming one of Panama’s most popular beach destinations. Swimming and sunbathing are the go-to activity here, but other options include boating, jet skiing, fishing, and golfing. The highland town of El Valle – which offers hiking, bird watching, and canopy tours – is about an hour away.

The Buenaventura Golf & Beach Resort is one of Panama’s most luxurious resorts. It’s big, opulent, and attractive. From the artificial lagoon to the 18-hole golf course, this place has everything you’d ever need (or want) while on vacation.

Guests of Buenaventura can eat at one of the hotel’s many restaurants. These include a sushi spot, a steakhouse, a pizza grill, and an international option. Bars adjoin many of these restaurants and serve a nice variety of beers, wines, and cocktails. The swim-up bar at the pool is especially nice. There are actually two swimming pools, both of which are large and surrounded by lounge chairs and shade umbrellas. The hotel’s spa offers everything from massages to facials and body scrubs.
