One Unique Island Escape in Bocas de Toro, Panama

WELCOME TO URRACA MONKEY ISLAND  Eco-Friendly Island Resort 

Escape to an eco-friendly oasis in the Bocas del Toro archipelago! Urraca Monkey Island invites guests 12+ to unwind in luxurious overwater bungalows, discover enchanting mangroves, and experience unmatched privacy in nature’s paradise. Accessible via a 35-minute boat ride from Isla Colon, this preserved island offers more than just an escape—it’s a journey into pristine natural beauty.

Discover hidden gems as you wander through Urraca, from picturesque swings over the water to a hammock-therapy terrace with panoramic views. The island offers multi-use decks for sunbathing, yoga, and more, as well as a shallow natural pool with a volleyball net. The dining area can be customized for events, and there’s even a lobster garden where you can catch your own dinner.

As night falls, Urraca transforms into a magical realm with bioluminescent waters glowing under star-filled skies, a phenomenon that can be experienced a few days before and after the new moon.

Just minutes away by boat, the stunning Cayo Zapatilla Islands await, offering pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. Book the entire island and enjoy unparalleled privacy and tranquility, surrounded by the natural beauty and vibrant culture of Bocas del Toro.

It’s a must do! Very relaxing. Off the grid with a wonderful hostess and those monkeys! Treat yourself to the spa and relax on this private mangrove.

Yes yes yes!!!!

Our stay at Urraca Private Island is the most awesome, memorable lodging experience we’ve had (and that’s saying a lot, because we travel frequently and have had many fantastic experiences). The place is amazing, kind of a cross between Swiss Family Robinson, Robinson Crusoe, and a high end Africa-style resort with adventure amenities like kayaks. And monkeys! This is the only place we know of that enables us to directly interact with sweet monkeys, even having one jump on our shoulders. The lodging is very comfortable (with steps to the water right off our deck, as well as an outdoor shower!), the food is excellent, staff is great, and there were surprisingly very few of the itchy no see-ums that are so common in this region. This setting allows you to meet and share the dinner table with your fellow travelers (great stories!), or dine on your own. The owner, Francine, is amazing. She has incredible life stories and her passion for the monkeys, the area, and her guests’ comfort is remarkable. We’re so happy we stayed here, and plan to come back because once was not enough!

Fantastic!!

Francine and her team have created a magical place!! Francine welcomed us in and ensured we had a faboulous stay. She has created a special place and the whole experience was like no other. She and her team were incredible. You can't not feel relaxed. The cabins were clean and very nice. The food not only tasted incredible, the presentation was amazing. Each staff member went out of their way to ensure we were taken care of. The monkeys were beautiful - and so well looked after. The whole experience was fantastic. We look forward to returning! Thank you Francine.
