Panama’s jewel hiding in the San Miguel bay
They are named “paradise islands” and certainly that is correct. Isla Majagual and Isla Maje are not very famous destinations, simply because they are not for anyone. Those pearls lay four hours away from Panama City and offer beauty, nature and a seductive view.

Isla Majagual is a perfect spot for honeymooners that rely on privacy, island pleasures, good food and outstanding nature. The island is very small- only 22 hectares in size, but still it possess all kind of pleasures for tourists. Isla Mahje is bigger and grabs the attention with green forests, valleys and volcanic rocks.
The exotic islands are a perfect opportunity for eco-tourism. Here the nature is still wild and untouched. The aquaculture is amazingly rich and you can taste fish and sea food, unknown for the rest of the world. The remote islands just as the Island in the iconic movie the Beach are still unexplored.
The closest village is Chiman, where are located a 24-hours police station, phones, medical post, a school and a local small marina. In Chiman the native fishermen are selling fish straight from their boats. This island offers all kind of option for sea sports, as well as they are perfect for climbing, since they are surrounded by volcanic rocks.
There is also history. According to the legend, one of the largest Spanish ships San Jose sunk nearby these islands. On its board San Jose had a precious cargo- a treasury that remains hidden in the waters. Local people claim they still find gold and silver coins when diving.
