About SurfBreak at Paunch
A Small Tropical Stay with a Very Bocas Sense of Place
SurfBreak at Paunch is a boutique accommodation property welcoming guests age 16+ in Paunch on Isla Colón, Bocas del Toro, Panama. The property is intentionally small: four distinct places to stay in a tropical Caribbean setting, a short walk from the sea and one of Isla Colón’s best-known surf areas.
What We Are—and What We Are Not
Surf is part of the name because Paunch is part of the identity. But SurfBreak at Paunch is not a surf camp, hostel, or large resort. It is a small collection of private tropical accommodations for travelers who want to experience the natural side of Isla Colón while staying within reach of Bocas Town.
Surfers fit here. So do couples, nature-focused travelers, beach travelers, and guests who simply prefer Paunch to a room in the center of town.
Four Accommodations, One Property
Tree Cabin
An elevated, rustic cabin in the canopy with a queen bed, mini fridge, coffee maker, hot shower, screened open-air walls, and forest-view deck.
Bungalows
Bungalow Left and Bungalow Right pair queen beds and private bathrooms with kitchens, covered outdoor space, hammocks, and natural airflow.
Garden Apartment
A private ground-level suite with a queen bed, kitchen and dining nook, sofa lounge, tiled bathroom, and shaded tropical garden views.
