P. 2 - LA PLAYA WWW.PLAYACOMMUNITY.COM OCTOBER / OCTUBRE 2013 FROM COAST VILLAGE TO LUXURY BEACHFRONT Bern develops the Gold Coast with latest offering at Playa Gorgona T he past several years have shown considerable development taking place within Panama’s Gold Coast, the glistening stretch of Pacific beaches running west of Panama City. With Coronado serving as the coastal hub for the Pacific stretch, its neighbors are following suit as developers and investors are drawn to the opportunity-rich shores of the Pacific. This is perhaps most true for Playa Nueva Gorgona, the scenic fishing village situated just 5 minutes from Coronado. Besides being Panama City’s closest beach at just 50 minutes away, Nueva Gorgona offers a variety of benefits that are attracting investors and developers worldwide. A spectacular crescent-shaped beach of turquoise waves, salt-and-pepper shores, and a lush evergreen backdrop, Nueva Gorgona is home to one of the most pristine beaches in Panama. A delightful fishing village of few people, little rain, and spectacular beauty, Nueva Gorgona reflects the relaxed ambience of its surroundings. Its unique geographic position has gifted Nueva Gorgona with the phenomenal advantage of having little rain, fantastic surf, and some of the best fishing in the country. In fact, Nueva Gorgona is famous for its co-op fish market where you can pick up the some of the freshest seafood on the isthmus. Walk through the peaceful streets of Nueva Gorgona, and you’ll find all the staples of a charming Panamanian beach town.

For those moments and moods when only the best will do, Coronado and all its amenities sits only 5 minutes up the road. With so much growth on the horizon for Gorgona, however, we can expect to see considerable progress in the way of residential and commercial facilities on the beach. One such example is Royal Palm, the luxury beachfront community currently underway in Gorgona. Impeccably designed by Empresas Bern, one of Panama’s leading real estate developers, Royal Palm will offer beach-lovers and investors alike a luxurious beachside retreat located close to Panama City and Coronado. The development will consist of 281 apartments spread throughout two 21- and 28-floor towers. A lobby and social area featuring a wide range of resort-style amenities will conjoin the two towers. Some of the expected on-site facilities include a full bar and restaurant, an infinity pool, private beach access, a sprawling terrace and sun deck, and a fully equipped fitness center. The development’s close proximity to Panama City and high standards of luxury make Royal Palm an appealing opportunity for those seeking a turnkey beachfront investment in Panama. Royal Palm is already attracting property investors, young professionals and vacation homeowners seeking a low-maintenance condo. Currently, Empresas Bern is offering pre-sale prices on these beachfront luxury units. Units, which run from 753.47 to 1456.89 sq. feet, are designed to be customizable for a variety of residential or rental purposes.

De hecho Nueva Gorgona es célebre por sus pescaderías donde se puede comprar los frutos de mar más frescos del istmo.
