You have probably read online or heard from a colleague that Panama is the perfect destination to buy and invest in luxury apartments. Panama has gained international recognition not only for its natural beauty but also for its strategic position and economic stability. According to La Prensa, Panama has maintained sustained growth in the real estate market, making it one of the most attractive destinations for real estate investors. Its modern infrastructure, business-friendly climate, and accessible fiscal policies are just some of the reasons why more entrepreneurs are choosing to invest in the country’s luxury real estate market.
At Marjalizo, we want to take the opportunity to explain why Panama has become a perfect destination to invest in premium properties and apartments, while also giving you insights into the best areas to do so.
Why is Panama an ideal destination to buy property?
Choosing the right country is essential for a successful real estate investment. Panama has demonstrated sustained growth in demand for both residential and commercial properties. In particular, the luxury real estate market in the country has experienced significant growth, driven by an increasing number of international residents and tourists seeking a high-quality lifestyle.
Among them are people with high standards and exclusive tastes. For them, there are premium apartment projects like the ones we offer at Marjalizo, designed to take full advantage of Panama’s strengths. But what exactly are those strengths? Let’s take a look at the main ones:
- Top-level infrastructure and connectivity
Modern infrastructure in Panama not only makes everyday life easier, but it is also a key driver of real estate market growth. According to Panamá América, the capital has a modern road network that efficiently connects with Tocumen International Airport and other key areas. In addition, Panama offers a large number of luxury shopping centers, top-tier hospitals, international universities, and impressive skyscrapers providing world-class services. This infrastructure makes Panama an ideal place to live and, above all, to invest in luxury real estate.
- High profitability and constant demand
Thanks to its infrastructure and connectivity, the demand for luxury apartments in Panama continues to grow. International investors have identified Panama as one of the most attractive markets to invest in for 2025. According to the report from the Panamanian Association of Real Estate Brokers and Developers (ACOBIR), the current real estate market continues to grow between 3% and 5% annually, reflecting the strong profitability of investing in premium properties. At Marjalizo we have projects such as THE HUB and Be Living, which will be ready for delivery in 2025 and perfectly adapt to the modern needs of investors.
- Short- and long-term rental opportunities
If your goal is to generate passive income, Panama offers excellent opportunities for both short- and long-term rentals. In particular, the growth of short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb has made the country a perfect destination for those looking for consistent returns from luxury apartments. Depending on the location and amenities, rental income can be very attractive. For example, apartments in areas such as Punta Pacífica or Costa del Este can generate significant monthly income due to high demand from tourists, expatriates, and executives who require high-quality accommodations.
- Tax incentives for investors
In recent years, Panama has established policies that favor foreign investment by offering various tax benefits. Programs such as the Qualified Investor Visa or the Friendly Nations Visa are highly sought after for obtaining residency through real estate investment. In addition, there are property tax exemptions available. How could you not take advantage of these benefits?
Exclusive areas with luxury apartments
Panama City is the epicenter of the country’s economic growth. Thanks to this, infrastructure has modernized and exclusive areas with luxury apartments have emerged throughout the capital.
San Francisco, Punta Pacífica, Obarrio, and Amador are areas whose reputation has extended beyond Panama’s borders and where we offer prestigious projects. However, on this occasion we want to highlight two in particular: Costa del Este and Bella Vista.
- Costa del Este: international prestige
Costa del Este has established itself as one of the most sought-after areas for real estate investment, both for local and international investors. This is largely due to its strategic location near the city’s financial center and important business districts. The area hosts major multinational companies and offers top-level infrastructure including shopping centers, luxury hotels, and exclusive residential communities. Additionally, its proximity to Tocumen International Airport makes it an ideal location for those who frequently travel internationally.
The urban planning of Costa del Este — which includes wide avenues, green areas, and excellent connectivity — makes it attractive not only as a place to live but also as a profitable real estate investment opportunity. At Marjalizo, we offer luxury apartments in DIECI by Pininfarina, ideal for those looking to maximize profitability in this strategic high-growth area. These apartments can be defined as a residential masterpiece designed for a contemporary and cosmopolitan lifestyle. Pininfarina drew inspiration from Panama’s virtues—its biodiversity, colors, and global connectivity—to create a building that represents art, comfort, and luxury where you can live your dreams.
With impeccable architectural design, fine finishes, and panoramic views, DIECI’s luxury apartments are an excellent option for any investor, benefiting from the strategic location of Costa del Este.
- Bella Vista: luxury and privacy in an exclusive community
Bella Vista has earned a reputation as one of the most vibrant and desirable areas of Panama City thanks to its excellent location between the Cinta Costera and Avenida Balboa. This makes it ideal for those who want to be close to the city’s main recreational and cultural areas. Its proximity to shopping centers, luxury restaurants, and sports spaces makes it a preferred destination for both residents and investors.
In this cosmopolitan environment, Marjalizo presents AWA by LIVING, a boutique residential development that offers an innovative proposal for those seeking an exclusive and modern lifestyle. With a privileged location just steps from the Pacific Bay, AWA offers residents the best of urban life while enjoying the serenity and beauty of the ocean. This project is ideal for those looking to maximize their assets in one of the most desirable areas of the city.
