Envisioned as a world class tropical resort and an exemplar of sustainable urbanism, Coral Bay Resort is located on a spectacular coral-laden natural sea cove near the islands of San Blas in northern Panama. Separated from the rest of the country by a vast natural rainforest preserve, it is designed as a series of distinct precincts, each organized around a unique natural or man-made place.

The town center and plaza are located on the upper marina, a luxury hotel and large residences front the magnificent Caribbean beach, a residential neighborhood is on the lower marina, a small cluster of houses is on the edge of the rain forest, and a grand promenade runs along the marina edge. All areas are connected by a network of pedestrian-friendly streets, making Coral Bay Resort the first genuine compact, mixed-use, walkable town to be built in Central America in generations.
