DID YOU KNOW
Where the National Marine Park of Isla Bastimentos meets the calm, secluded beaches of Punta Vieja, the Al Natural Resort exists as one of Bocas del Toro’s most original and successful Eco-Retreats. Established in 2001, the resort’s business model has evolved with it’s high demand, while staying true to its roots and the visions of its creators.
Family owned and operated from the beginning , the team at Al Natural consists mostly indigenous workers who live in the Ngobe Bugle village of Salt Creek. Hiring indigenous neighbors to build in their traditional techniques, and offering continuous employment over the last 20 years, has given the hotel a very authentic and personal touch, perfectly integrated into the local community and lush tropical environment.
Al Natural is now made up of five lodgings options, a restaurant and a dive center. The main development, the Al Natural Resort, is a collection of 7 natural bungalows on stilts over the beach. Near by is the staff housing, and manager’s home, the Restaurant and the Zapatillas Dive Center.
THE LAND
What sets the Al Natural property apart from almost every other location in Bocas del Toro, is the leeward beach which provides calm, safe swimming water year round. This beautiful, 450 meter long, white sand gift, is very rare in the Province of Bocas del Toro, where the majority of the beaches face the open Caribbean, though they attract surfers world wide, they can be dangerous places for swimming. The Al Natural property is 9.181 hectares, of which 7.908 hectares are in the last phase of the titling process, which is also an incredibly rare and powerful property feature in the archipelago of Bocas del Toro.
THE BUILDINGS
The Al Natural Eco-Resort on Isla Bastimentos elegantly combines local craftsmanship and new technologies to provide comfort and luxury to clients while limiting the impact on the surrounding eco-system. There are seven open air beach bungalows used by the guests and one used by the staff. Each one offers incredible views of the ocean and reef, and make you feel as though you are floating.
