Best Hotels in Chiriqui

For those seeking a dramatic change of scenery from Panama City, the province of Chiriqui offers cool highland air, active volcanoes, and some of the country's most fertile land. The main draw is the incredible diversity packed into one region: you can hike the cloud-shrouded trails of Volcan Baru, Panama's highest peak, in the morning and be relaxing on the black sands of Playa La Barqueta by afternoon. Coffee lovers make pilgrimages to the plantations around Boquete, while the rushing rivers near Hornitos are a playground for white-water rafting.

Chiriqui is ideal for adventurous travelers, active couples, and families looking to swap screens for nature. The towns of Boquete and Volcan serve as the primary hubs, with a good range of accommodations and restaurants, and are well-connected by road from David, the provincial capital. David's Enrique Malek International Airport offers direct flights from Panama City, making access straightforward. Renting a car is the best way to explore the region's scattered attractions at your own pace.

Accommodation here is dominated by charming eco-lodges, cozy bed and breakfasts, and a growing number of boutique hotels that make the most of the mountain views. On HOTEVI, you can find options like the Panamonte Inn & Spa, a historic property in Boquete with elegant gardens, or the more contemporary Bambito Hotel & Casino near Volcan, set within its own expansive grounds.
