Ocean Reef Islands, Artificial islands in Panama City Bay, Panama
Islas Ocean Reef comprises artificial islands in Panama City Bay built across roughly 19 hectares with about 137 residential plots facing the Punta Pacifica district. The development includes a residential marina with a Yacht Club, multiple swimming pools, dining options, bars, and fitness facilities.
The islands were developed as one of Latin America's first artificial island projects, setting new standards for engineering in the region. Their creation represented a major step in Panama City's modern urban expansion and residential development.
The islands reflect a modern lifestyle that connects yacht culture with waterfront living. Residents regularly use shared spaces for social gatherings and activities centered on the bay and its waters.
The islands are accessible by boat or helicopter, limiting general public access to the development. Visitors should keep in mind this is primarily a residential community where entry may be restricted to residents and guests.
The islands incorporate environmental protection measures designed to minimize their impact on the bay's ecosystem. This commitment to sustainability sets the project apart from other major residential developments in the region.
