Island Roots: Women’s Retreat – Bocas del Toro, Panama

Theme: TRUST
7 nights

A barefoot week of wild joy and deep trust on the edge of the Caribbean Sea.

Tucked away on Bastimentos Island at the boutique Firefly resort, this seven-night retreat offered something rare: space to fully let go. With just six women, oceanfront hammocks, and sloths climbing the palms right outside our doors, the pace slowed—and trust took root. Trust in your instincts. Trust in the present moment. Trust in joy.

Wake up to waves lapping just below your lanai. Three of Firefly’s six rooms opened directly onto the sea, with the rest just steps away—private, intimate, and unlike any place we’d ever stayed. The ocean wasn’t just a backdrop. It was a companion.

Each day ended with meals worth lingering over—delicious, local, and made with intention. Firefly’s food was as vibrant as the island itself, and every bite reminded us of how good it feels to slow down and savor.

In a world of crowded resorts and curated perfection, this retreat offered something far rarer: authenticity. It was personalized, connected, and grounded in the land. Once you travel this way, it’s hard to go back.

Connections You Can’t Manufacture.
Live at the Water’s Edge.
