Description

San José Island Panama – The Largest Private Island Investment Opportunity in the Americas Isla San José, located in the prestigious Pearl Islands archipelago just 60 miles from Panama City, is the largest privately owned island in the Western Hemisphere, covering approximately 11,000 acres (4,600 hectares). This rare offering presents investors with an unmatched opportunity to acquire a one-of-a-kind natural paradise with extensive infrastructure and limitless development potential. With 100% private ownership under Primitive Title, the highest quality of property rights in Panama, San José Island guarantees secure investment. The island boasts 57 pristine beaches, multiple rivers, waterfalls, and abundant fresh water, enabling sustainable large-scale development. Its strategic location provides easy access—just 25 minutes by plane or under three hours by boat from Panama City and the Panama Canal—making it an ideal hub for international tourism and eco-luxury projects. Existing infrastructure includes a 5,000 ft paved airstrip, operational resort with 17 cabanas, water treatment facilities, power generation, roads, helipads, workshops, and logistics equipment. This reduces capital expenditure and accelerates development timelines for potential buyers. Beyond its natural beauty, San José Island offers exceptional biodiversity, with tropical forests, endemic wildlife such as 2,000+ white deer, nesting sea turtles, and world-class marine life. The island is already a renowned destination for diving, snorkeling, whale watching, and sportfishing, offering immediate revenue opportunities in hospitality and eco-tourism. Investment potential spans across hospitality, luxury residential, marina development, golf courses, and wellness retreats. Comparative advantages include its size—twice that of Key West—and its proven hospitality operations that demonstrate scalability and financial upside. For investors seeking a legacy project, San José Island represents a once-in-a-lifetime acquisition: a massive, titled, and strategically located private island with unlimited potential for eco-luxury, tourism, and mixed-use development.
