About Valle Escondido Wellness Resort

Valle Escondido Wellness Resort is a spa and golf resort in Bajo Boquete, in the Chiriquí highlands, about 1.1 km from the town center. Highlights are the LaVida spa, with a heated 25-meter indoor pool, and an executive golf course. The nearest airport is David (DAV), 47 km away.

Valle Escondido sits in a valley below Barú Volcano, about 1.1 km from the center of Boquete. The grounds combine a river, gardens, a golf course and the Pueblo, a colonial-style quarter of brick paths and small cottages. Rooms range from Deluxe rooms with hammocks on the terrace to Riverside Bungalows, where the river flows in front of the terrace. The resort has been open since 2003.

The LaVida Health & Beauty Spa anchors the wellness side. Its décor draws on six Panamanian indigenous peoples, and its 25-meter indoor pool is heated. A jacuzzi, a sauna and a steam bath are part of the spa, and massages and longer treatment programs are offered. The wider LaVida program is built around balancing mind, body and spirit.

Meals are at Sabor Escondido, which has a riverside terrace, an indoor dining room and a fireplace for cool nights. The kitchen cooks with produce from the resort's organic gardens. La Cantina is the bar. Golfers have an executive course and a pro shop, and there is also mini golf. David airport (DAV) is 47 km away.
