Unique Opportunity in Panama, Luxury Golf Resort with Ocean View
Known as the bridge of the Americas, or “the land of birds and
butterflies”, Panama is one of those countries that strikes with its beauty.
This country has it all. Strategic location, beautiful tropical beaches,
mountain landscapes, a vibrant and cosmopolitan capital, business opportunities
and a great environment.
Actually, in Panama, you will find the only place on earth where you can
see both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans at the same time and that is the Baru
volcano.
Panama has a remarkably high percentage of foreign population and there
is a perfectly good reason for this. The country offers great migration and
business options for foreigners who wish to live, work, and conduct business
here, and all of them will feel warmly welcomed by the locals.
Walking the streets of Panama or the halls of Multiplaza mall, you will
never feel like a foreigner. In Panama you will find people from all races,
nationalities, cultures, and religions, living in peace and respecting each
other. Everyone feels at home here and so will you if you take one of the many
opportunities that Panama offers.
Why Panama? - Development opportunities
The Economy
Thanks to the Panama Canal and to the policies implemented by the
government, Panama has experienced an important growth in GDP, between 7% and 10%
in the last decade. Thus, the Panamanian economy has become one of the fastest
to grow in Latin America.
The expansion of the Panama Canal, inaugurated in 2016, and the project of
the metro construction are only some of the highlights of a thriving economy, undoubtedly
the best of the region.
Thanks to its unique geographic location, to its developed and secure
banking system and to its business-friendly environment, Panama is one of the
most important business hubs not only in Latin America but in the whole world.
An outstanding feature you will find in Panama is that it has one of the
major engineering works of the whole 20th century and that is the
Panama Canal.
At the beginning of the last century, ships would have to go all the way
down across the continent to the only connection between the Atlantic and the Pacific
oceans, in the Republic of Argentina in what is called the Beagle Channel. This
meant a very long journey for ships trying to go from the Pacific coast to the
costs of Europe or Africa, but the Panama Canal, built at the turn of the
century, changed the history of maritime travels and navigation, in one of the greatest engineering works in history.
Up until today, the Canal is an enormous source of profit for Panama in a direct and indirect way, from the ships that go through the canal to all the job positions and industries that are possible and that develop thanks to it. It provides millions of dollars in revenue and allows for massive employment opportunities. Thanks to the Canal expansion in 2016, the traffic has significantly increased, allowing the transit of bigger vessels.
Tourism
Tourism was actively developed during the last 5 years, due to some
interesting incentives released by the government for visitors and retirees.
Panama is considered to be one of the best places to retire in the world thanks
to its low cost of living, peaceful environment, and migration incentives. A retiree
that wants to live in Panama, all he has to do is prove a steady income of
1,000 USD a month for life, which can be either from a government or private
institution. With this, the person and his/her spouse can legally live in
Panama and enjoy many discounts in areas such as entertainment, healthcare,
travel, and others.
But Panama is not only attractive for retirees but also for tourism in
general. Visitors that come to Panama fall in love with the country, with its
colorful colonial neighborhood Casco Antiguo, with its vibrant nightlife in El
Cangrejo or Calle Uruguay, and with its amazing landscapes and entertainment
opportunities.
Over the past decade, tourism has bloomed into a major services sector for Panama. In 2015, over 2.5 million visitors came to Panama, which is an impressive achievement for a small country with a population of only 3.5 million. Tourists came from all parts of the world: 40% from North America, 40% from the Central American region, and the remaining 20% from Europe and South America.
This industry accounted for more than 135,000 jobs in 2015, which represented 7,5% of total employment in Panama. Lately, tourism has been a key driver in GDP growth and one of the fastest-growing sectors in Panama’s economy (along with commerce, construction, and banking).
Being a country between two oceans, Panama offers many tropical beaches
both on the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. If you enjoy surfing you can go to
a Pacific beach like Playa Venao, but if you only want to relax in the peaceful
waters of the Caribbean, you can choose San Blas or Bocas del Toro.
Panama has also great diving and snorkeling spots. If you want to watch
and get to know some of the best sea life of the region, we recommend Isla
Coiba on the Pacific side, which is considered the best snorkeling place in
Panama.
However, Panama is not only a tropical destination as many may think. It
also offers great hiking options and mountain landscapes. If you don´t like
tropical weather then you can choose to visit Boquete, a beautiful mountain
town in the Chiriqui province (which is where our project is located). Here
there is a mild temperature between 14 and 25 degrees Celsius, having different weather than the rest of the country. Here you will also find great
coffee and a wide community of ex-pats that will make you feel at home.
Dollar based economy
Panama is one of the few countries in Latin America that uses the US
dollar as their currency. This is very convenient both for travelers and
residents as the former don´t need to worry about the exchange rates and the
latter enjoy a strong economy and are protected from the inflation issues that
strike Latin America.
Medical services and first-class healthcare at low prices
Among other things, Panama offers great health insurance and medical
services at very affordable prices. In Panama, you will find that many doctors
speak more than one language and are usually very well trained in English. Some
of the medical facilities and hospitals in Panama offer the latest diagnostic
services and technology. Medicine is available at very good prices and medical
insurance is very affordable, especially when comparing with the US or Europe.
Panama has very prestigious medical centers like Punta Pacifica and there is a project that is expected to be finished by 2021. This project Is called City of Health and it will be an enormous medical complex that intends to provide the best medical attention and technology in the region.
Visa and Residency
Panama is widely known for its immigration visas and residency programs. This country actually has one of the most innovative and straight-forward visa programs called the friendly nations visa. This option is available for citizens of approximately 50 countries that are considered to be in good relations with Panama. With a simple procedure, these citizens can obtain a residency for life in only a few months. They need to show a financial connection to Panama (work contract or company registered), deposit 5,000 in a bank account (which can be recovered after obtaining residency). Another great option is the pensionado visa, which we will write about further down.
Competitive advantages
Panama has modern and comprehensive legislation when it comes to tourism
investment. In fact, this is one of the best tourism investment legislations in
Latin America and the Caribbean. Panama´s law 80 offers great incentives for
special tourism zones such as 100% exemption from income tax, real estate tax,
import duties for construction materials and equipment. The government has set
out special tourism zones which have many benefits like the ones described here
and even, in some cases, tax holidays.
The best retirement benefit program in the world
Panama is one of the greatest places in the world for retirees. It has
much lower costs than Europe and the United States, great quality of life, and a warm Caribbean climate. Besides, the government has released a special visa
called pensionado visa, thanks to which a person can obtain residency only by
proving they have a steady lifetime income of at least 1,000USD. This plus a
health certificate and a police record, are mainly the requirements for such a
visa.
And that is not it. Retirees in Panama have also access to great
discounts and benefits in areas such as medicine, healthcare, entertainment, and
others. Here is a list of some of these benefits:
● 50% on entertainment like movies, concerts, theaters, etc...
● 25% in restaurants
● 50% on hotel stays Monday through Thursday.
● 30% in bus transport, ship, and rail.
● 25% on tickets for domestic and international airlines.
● 10% on medicine (and cheaper than the U.S.).
● 15% for dental and eye exams.
● 10% of the final cost of home loans.
A great opportunity
Today, Mundo is offering a unique investment opportunity to buy land in one of Panama’s most beautiful provinces, Chiriqui, which is located
near the border with Costa Rica. On this land, there is a plan to build a
fantastic resort with a golf camp and a marina.
The land is located within a 50-minute drive from the David
International Airport, from which you can find regular flights to Panama City
along with international flights. From the David airport, you will find
connecting flights with many major destinations such as Canada, the USA or
Europe, thanks to the national and solid Panamanian airline called Copa
Airlines.
The size of the land is 115 ha and it´s divided into two zones, both with
easy access to the Pan-American highway. The Northern zone is 103 ha and the southern zone between the Pan-American and the Pacific is 12 ha.
Both lands are duly titled and registered in the Registro de la Propiedad
of David, which is the province´s capital.
The investment
Mundo, along with its partners is offering land that´s divided into two sectors: A marina with 12 ha
and a Golf camp with 103 ha. Both
areas belong to the master plan project. After purchasing this land, the
investor can develop the project infrastructure and sell it in different lots.
He will be able to sell the land before or after the buildings have been
constructed.

The resort
The resort will be built with an exclusive design for the reduction of
the environmental impact and recycling of waste, but most of the land will be
left to be used as a major and exclusive golf camp and a display of botanical
gardens of exquisite beauty.
The resort will be specially designed for the well-being of residents and
visitors, with diverse sports facilities, a SPA, a yoga hill, thus promoting the
development of physical and mental health.
Health is such an important aspect of this project, that a hospital has
been included. The resort will have a medical center where the best service
will be provided. High-quality medical attention will be offered here by some
of the best doctors in the country.
With the goal of improving and developing people’s health, the entire residential
design is focused on walking, biking, and golf cart transportation. The car
traffic will be reduced to the minimum needed for easy communication and
transportation within the facilities. However, the priority here will be the
wide spaces that will allow people to stroll freely, ride their bikes, jog, and
exercise.
This resort will be a great place for retirees and oldsters as they will
have the necessary facilities that will allow them a healthy lifestyle, close
to nature, with spaces for walks and exercise and with a health center at their
disposal. Thus, they can have access to great healthcare at a fraction of the price that they would pay in Europe or the US.
Thanks to its location in one of the best and quieter zones of Panama, its mild climate, its infrastructure, and its medical center, this
isolated resort will be a place that can keep you safe from possible future
health crises like the current coronavirus. Who wouldn’t want to live here?
This project is great for families and people of all ages.
