Opening September 2026 Dolphin Island, Bocas del Toro 5 Overwater Glass Domes Private Island — No Day Guests Book via Airbnb & Vrbo

Designed for those who want more than a hotel.

Overwater glass domes that float at the edge of the Caribbean. A community hub where mornings begin with coffee and evenings find you barefoot at the bar. Nothing extraneous. Nothing missing.

Five domes.
One private ocean.

Each dome sits on a private deck extending over clear Caribbean water. Glass panels above your bed. A direct ladder to the sea below. This is sleep as immersion.

Community Hub

Where the island
comes together.

A thatch-roofed pavilion over the water with a full bar, buffet-style local breakfasts, and hammocks that sway with the tide. The social heart of the island — as active or as quiet as you choose.

Frequently asked.

When does the resort open?

GlampIsland opens in September 2026 for our inaugural season. Bookings for the first season are available now on Airbnb and Vrbo. All images on this site are design concept renderings — the physical domes are currently under construction.

How many guests does the island accommodate?

We host a maximum of 10 guests at one time across five overwater domes (2 guests per dome). No day visitors, no group takeovers. This is a genuinely private island experience.

Are activities included in the booking price?

A complimentary breakfast at the community hub is included daily. Activities — snorkeling, surfing lessons, fishing charters, jungle hikes, cultural tours — are available as add-ons and can be arranged before or during your stay.

Is Bocas del Toro safe for travelers?

Yes. Bocas del Toro is one of Panama's most established tourist destinations and the island is entirely private — accessible only by boat. Panama itself is politically stable with a strong dollar-based economy and excellent infrastructure.

What is the best time of year to visit?

December through March offers the driest skies and calmest seas — peak season. September and October bring a "veranillo" (little dry season) with calmer water and fewer guests. If whale watching is a priority, July to October is humpback season.

Can I book the whole island for a group or event?

Yes. Private island buyouts are available for groups of up to 10. Contact us directly via WhatsApp or email to discuss your dates and requirements.
