Urraca Monkey Island Eco Resort (Adults Only)

Nestled in the Bocas del Toro archipelago, this 4-star eco-resort offers a secluded adults-only experience on a mangrove island built entirely on stilts over the water. Four private bungalows feature ocean views through spacious glass panel windows, outdoor showers with hot water, and private balconies over the water. The property includes a family bungalow for groups and a romantic honeymooner's hut, all furnished with semi-orthopedic mattresses and electronic fans. Guests can interact with a dozen rescued monkeys belonging to four species, including howler and capuchin monkeys. The on-site restaurant serves Caribbean-French fusion cuisine using locally sourced ingredients, with breakfast including tropical fruits like papaya and passionfruit. A natural ocean pool with a volleyball net and numerous overwater decks with hammocks provide leisure spaces. Boats depart regularly for the nearby Zapatilla Cays, visible from the resort, with activities ranging from snorkeling to chocolate farm tours.
