Pedasí · Península de Azuero · Panamá
Close enough to Playa Destiladeros that the beach becomes part of an ordinary morning — three minutes on foot. Four titled lots, each sold on its own, with open ground behind them that no one may ever build on. From $150,000.
Playa Destiladeros sits on the Pacific coast of the Azuero Peninsula, ten minutes from Pedasí. The four lots lie together on Calle Los Caracoles, above the nearest public path down to the beach.
They can be bought one at a time or all four as a single holding. Each is registered in its own right with Panama’s Public Registry and carries its own finca number, so the four can be held, financed or passed on separately.
Each lot is registered in its own right with Panama's Public Registry and carries its own finca number. Lots 16A and 16B adjoin one another, and so do 17A and 17B. Any one of them can be bought on its own.
Everything on both sides of you, in one name. Land next door, once taken, does not come back to the market.
Pedasí sits at the southern end of the Azuero Peninsula, on Panama's Pacific coast. Playa Destiladeros is ten minutes from town, between Puerto Escondido and Playa Panamaes.
As the seat of its district, the town concentrates the essential services and makes daily life easier. You will find a town hall, branches of Banco Nacional de Panamá and Caja de Ahorros, an airport and the MINSA-CAPSI, the Ministry of Health primary care centre.
Everyday needs are met without leaving the district: supermarkets, pharmacies, hardware stores, bakeries, butchers, laundries, fuel stations and a varied choice of restaurants.
For emergencies, the district is covered by SUME 911, the national pre-hospital service. The Panamanian Red Cross, for its part, keeps a local committee in Pedasí, with a base and community volunteers.

Each lot is a separate finca, so each carries its own $30,000 exemption. The balance is taxed at 0.6%.
| Lot | Price | Taxable base− $30,000 | Yearly tax× 0.6% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16A | $174,000 | $144,000 | $864 |

Four fincas keep four exemptions and each stays at 0.6%. The same value in one finca keeps a single exemption and moves up to the 1% band, at $5,940 — an estimated $2,916 more each year.
Figures are calculated on list price under Article 766-A of the Fiscal Code, Law 66 of 2017. The tax is assessed on the cadastral value on record. Confirm the figure for your case with your tax adviser.
