Beachfront land · Playa Destiladeros

Overview

Titled beachfront land at Playa Destiladeros, Pedasí, Los Santos, Panama. The finca is recorded at the Public Registry under number 30125195-7401. What follows is the complete picture: what it costs, what the closing adds, what the zoning invites you to build, and the published document behind every legal statement.

Every legal reference carries its Gaceta Oficial or decree number. Section 09 exists for exactly that.

A sale becomes binding through a promise-to-purchase agreement and a public deed; this document is the step before, and it stands as information.

The land

To the south it borders the beach shoreline (ribera de playa) and to the west the El Limón road down to the beach. It also has an additional access through a registered private right of way (easement) of 742.28 m², which the landowners can adapt to their future buildings.

Residency in Panama

The Qualified Investor Programme grants permanent residency for qualifying investments, under Executive Decree 17 (8 September 2026). The minimum real-estate amount depends on the property's history:

Whether titled land without construction counts as a first sale is for the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to determine, with the guidance of an attorney. Residency extends to the immediate family under the applicable requirements. The investment must be held for five years, with an annual confirmation to the Ministry, and the funds must come from abroad and be traceable.

Land use

The land falls under UECT1 zoning, classified as medium-density ecotourism land. Residential, hotel and aparthotel uses are permitted.

With 2,025.01 m² and a minimum lot size of 1,000 m², the buyer can choose, according to their needs, to develop the land as a whole or divide it into two lots of at least 1,000 m² each. The zoning allows, on the land or on each lot, residential, hotel and aparthotel uses: one or two residences, a hotel or an aparthotel. Division remains subject to applicable requirements and approvals.
