Buenaventura has embarked on an unprecedented transformation. With a renewed focus on wellness, sustainability and luxury, the community is poised to redefine the concept of living life to the fullest in Latin America. Under the tagline “The Essence of Pure Living,” Buenaventura’s new identity is not only a makeover, but a promise of superior quality of life.
In its most recent Master Plan update, Buenaventura has added 265 hectares to its territory, nearly doubling its size. This growth not only expands its real estate capacity, but includes new amenities designed to elevate the living experience for its residents. “We are creating a community where people live a full life, in harmony with nature and focused on wellness,” says Diego Vallarino, CEO of Grupo VerdeAzul.
Among the most outstanding new developments is the construction, after obtaining the corresponding permits, of a second 18-hole golf course, designed by the prestigious Robert Trent Jones firm, recognized worldwide.
This court, which is expected to begin construction in 2025, will be a testament to sustainability and design, taking full advantage of the natural surroundings to offer a unique experience to players. “It will be strategic, shorter but challenging, with breathtaking views that will make it unforgettable,” says Vallarino. This addition, along with the existing Jack Nicklaus-designed course, positions Buenaventura as a top international golf destination.
But it is not only golf that defines this new phase. The Alamar project, an oceanfront development, promises to be a benchmark in the Pacific Riviera. With luxury apartments and uninterrupted ocean views, Alamar will redefine the coastal lifestyle in Panama. Amenities include an oceanfront restaurant and bar, meditation and yoga spaces, and an exclusive pet-friendly top bar. This residential complex, designed by Mallol Arquitectos, will become the epicenter of Buenaventura’s vibrant Downtown District, where residents will have pedestrian access to stores, restaurants and beach clubs.
Sustainability continues to be a fundamental pillar in this evolution. Buenaventura has integrated sustainable practices into all of its projects, from the design of its golf courses to the planning of its new green areas and roads. This approach not only improves the quality of life for residents, but also positions Buenaventura as a benchmark for sustainable development in the region.
Buenaventura has not only consolidated its reputation in Panama, but is also gaining international attention. This year marks an important milestone: for the first time, international buyers have outnumbered domestic buyers, reflecting the global appeal of this community. “This is the first year in which we have sold more properties to foreigners than to Panamanians,” comments Diego Vallarino. “These new residents have decided to leave their countries behind and start a new life in Panama, attracted by the luxury, nature and quality of life we offer.” This international boom positions Buenaventura as a premier destination in Latin America, competing directly with world-renowned communities such as Casa de Campo and Punta Cana.
With its focus on wellness, sustainability and world-class amenities, Buenaventura is poised for continued growth in the global market. The combination of luxury, sustainability and a close-knit community is what makes Buenaventura a unique destination. As Vallarino concludes, “We are ready to take Buenaventura to the next level, always focused on creating an exceptional community.”
This new phase promises, without a doubt, to elevate Buenaventura to a prominent position on the world map of luxury communities.
