The Tides

About the project

The Tides is a two-storey townhouse cluster by Grupo Los Pueblos within the Playa Caracol coastal resort complex, Chame district, on the Pacific coast of Panama. The developer positions this sub-division as The Family Beach House — a product aimed at multi-generational families rather than single holiday apartments.

Within the complex, only this sub-division features two-storey terraced houses, each with a private garden and direct access to the internal pool cluster.

Two house models at The Tides

Notable point: both models share the same total floor area of 99.72 m² and a 12.46 m² garden. The difference lies in the ratio between enclosed and open space.

Two-bedroom model. 71.11 m² enclosed area, 28.61 m² open area, 99.72 m² total. Two bathrooms. The ground floor features an open-plan living and dining room, kitchen, laundry area, one bedroom, and one bathroom. The upper floor has a large terrace, one bedroom, and one bathroom. This model prioritises outdoor space.

Three-bedroom model. 82.37 m² enclosed area, 17.35 m² open area, 99.72 m² total. Three bathrooms. Featuring the same ground floor layout, the upper floor reduces the terrace size to accommodate two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

In other words, buyers choose between a unit with a more spacious terrace or a unit with more bedrooms, within the same built area.

Playa Caracol — a seven-mile beach resort

Playa Caracol is named The Seven Mile Beach Resort by the developer, based on the stretch of white sand approximately seven miles long running along the Pacific coast, backed by the Cerro Chame mountain range.

Shared amenities for the entire complex include a sports cluster with tennis, padel, and basketball courts, a multi-purpose court, and a pump track — the pump track is described by the developer as suitable for all ages, a plus for family groups. The Vento Beach Club is already operational; the Margaritaville area is under construction; Caracol Village and Retail Village are scheduled to open.

The Chame region surrounding the project hosts sea turtle nesting seasons and humpback whale migrations from Antarctica to the warm waters of Panama, lasting from July to October. Within travel distance are Otoque and Bona islands, the extinct Cerro Chame volcano, San Carlos lake, the natural pools of Charco Verde and Charco Azul, the El Valle de Antón valley located within a volcanic crater, and the Los Cajones de Chame rock labyrinth.

Distance to three airports

According to the developer's documentation, Playa Caracol is approximately 57 km from Scarlett Martínez International Airport (RIH), equivalent to a 1-hour drive; approximately 82 km from Panamá Pacífico International Airport (BLB), equivalent to 1 hour and 19 minutes; and approximately 112 km from Tocumen International Airport (PTY), equivalent to 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Grupo Los Pueblos — developer

Grupo Los Pueblos has been operating since 1985, having delivered over 26,000 units and developed 6.2 million m² in Panama, following a model of self-design, self-construction, self-ownership, and self-management.

Panama Qualified Investor Visa programme

Panama grants permanent residency to investors who purchase titled property in the country, with a minimum threshold of US$300,000. Permanent residency is granted from day one, with processing taking approximately 30 to 45 days, and no physical presence is required for the application. The application includes a spouse, children, and dependent parents. Maintaining residency only requires entering the country once every two years, and investors are eligible to apply for citizenship after 5 years of permanent residency. The asset must be held for at least 5 years.

Individual unit prices at The Tides have not been announced by the developer. Confirmation from Grupo Los Pueblos is required before verifying whether a specific unit meets the US$300,000 threshold.

Ownership conditions and notes

Foreigners are permitted to hold property in Panama with rights equivalent to citizens, with assets registered at the Panama Public Registry. Panama uses the US dollar and applies a territorial tax system.

Prosperous Living Investment recommends that investors request an official price list, payment schedule, and a written description of the handover standards before paying a deposit.
