If you’re looking for a boutique condo building, tucked away from the hustle and bustle but still directly on the beach, then PH Biltmore is for you.
The Biltmore was built in 2010 by developers Isla de Pino. It is a 15-story tower with only 2 apartments per floor, each with a balcony that boasts extraordinary ocean and mountain views. The apartments are incredibly spacious, ideal for families.
Maintenance fees are approximately $2.00 per m2.
The Biltmore has one social area consisting of a pool, jacuzzi, and three bohios.
Biltmore also offers a generator servicing all units and social areas.
The Biltmore is tucked away on a quiet backstreet of Gorgona and is on the same road as the Ocean Waves apartment building. This road is not paved but every other road on the route there is, so it is only a short stretch of gravel road. The building is populated by mostly expats, many of whom are long term renters. The building is quiet, with a relaxed vibe, though there are families in the building so you will find children and teenagers running around sometimes. It is not a party spot. The building has direct beach access to Playa Malibu and is pet friendly so you can take your dog for a beach walk every day.
Nueva Gorgona is popular with families due to having its own international school: Panama Coast International School (www.panamacoastinternationalschool.com). There is also a sports field for basketball, baseball and pickleball.
Gorgona is a mixed bag when it comes to properties as you have the brand new condo buildings on the oceanfront mixed in with luxury beach houses and regular panamanian houses.
Gorgona has two beaches, Playa Malibu and Playa Gorgona. The sand here is a mixture of white sand and black volcanic sand. When the tide is far enough out it is possible to walk all the way across the beaches and even to Coronado, but it’s a long walk and not for the faint hearted! The road to Playa Malibu is not paved so can be a slow and bumpy drive but it’s worth it to visit Bikini Beach Club, a new and exclusive addition to the beachfront offerings.
There are several restaurants in Gorgona itself, a number of small convenience stores and a hardware store. Gorgona is just 5 minutes from Coronado, Panama’s “beach-city capital” which includes movie theaters, shopping, a hospital, several private and public schools, as well as hundreds of dining options. And of course, you are less than an hour from Panama City, making it an easy trip to the city and great potential as a second residence!
Other residential buildings in Nueva Gorgona are PH Bitmore, Ocean Waves, and P.H. Bahia.
