Snow is falling, icicles are forming, and it’s time to start planning your 2018 winter escape. You could head to the tourist-packed beaches of the Bahamas or deal with hoards of spring breakers along Mexico’s Riviera Maya. Or, you could head to Panama’s Pearl Islands Archipelago, where deserted beaches, without another soul in site, are more common than crowded ones. These are three reasons why you should choose the off-the-beaten-path Pearl Islands over more popular winter travel destinations for your escape in the new year.
You’ll Experience True Island Culture

All-inclusive escapes to many of the world’s most popular beach destinations are undeniably fun, but there are a lot of traits that are lost when towns are commercialized. Panama’s Pearl Islands consist of roughly 250 small islands, and most of them are uninhabited. Visitors can experience traditional Panamanian island culture on Isla Saboga or take a panga ride to one of many smaller islands, where you’re likely to be the only one on the sand.
The Adventures Are Endless
You don’t just have to choose from overly-crowded day tours, parasailing or banana boat rides when you head to the Pearl Islands. In fact, tours are done differently here. Book a day with Pearl Island Day Tours, based on the island of Contadora, and you’re in for a day you’ll never forget. Designed for adventurous tourists, Pearl Island Day Tours takes travelers to uninhabited islands, the traditional villages of Saboga, on jaw-dropping snorkeling excursions, offshore fishing with local fishermen, and on a number of excursions that can’t be found anywhere else. While you’re more than welcome to lay on the beach and soak in the rays, the sheer beauty of the Pearl Islands is bound to make you seek adventure.

You Don’t Have to Sacrifice Comfort
Many times, traveling off the beaten path means sacrificing the luxuries you desire on a winter vacation. The Pearl Islands are the ideal combination of raw adventure, and the comforts of a five-star resort. Contadora Island is an ideal home base for travelers who are seeking the comforts and modern amenities of beachfront resorts within just a short distance of all of the adventures the islands have to offer. Isla Contadora is home to more than 13 beaches as well as a number of condos, villas and resorts just waiting to introduce you to this often overlooked tropical paradise.
There are few places in the world where you can be sunbathing by the infinity pool and also minutes away from unforgettable adventures. Panama’s Pearl Islands is one of them.
