Gran Evenia Bijao

With miles of sand for long romantic walks

Gran Evenia Bijao, an hour and thirty minutes from Tocumen International Airport, offers a modern hotel in the region of Santa Clara. Santa Clara’s drier climate makes it sunnier than the rest of Panama; only a few hours of rainfall each day during the green season. This Pacific Ocean beachfront hotel has miles of sand for long romantic walks along a secluded beach. The Gran Evenia Bijao hotel employees are friendly and keep the grounds remarkably clean.
