WHY The Firefly?
We offer a unique property with the ocean as our front yard and the jungles as a backdrop. Our pool faces the ocean & our vantage point is one of the only sunset views in Bocas. Guests have access to Bocas most beautiful island, Isla Bastimentos, with jungle hikes and best beaches being minutes only away, yet only an 8 min water taxi to Bocas Town. We also offer meals from The Firefly restaurant, know to be the best food in Bocas. All dietary preferences can be accommodated. Our bar/restaurant features seasonal dishes/cocktails all made in house. Our calm space, with the constant sound of the ocean, is ideal for yoga/wellness and body work.
Our property hosts small groups, 5-12, keeping your retreat intimate. We offer curated planning for your group, whether it’s hiking to our neighbor chocolate farm, island hopping, a medicinal plant walk/talk with local teas and facials, or massage, we have you covered. We offer experiences unique to us. We offer SUPs, beginner surf boards and snorkel gear to our guests. This is your retreat to decide, do as little or as much as you would like! Our hammocks are waiting.
We have 3 upcoming yoga/wellness/fitness retreats in 2027! Details coming soon.
