The Santa Maria, A Luxury Collection Hotel and Golf Resort
Inside an exclusive Panama City community, The Santa Maria combines polished Luxury Collection rooms with a Nicklaus Design 18-hole golf course, spa, pools and an unexpectedly resort-like atmosphere minutes from the capital.
The Santa Maria, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Golf Resort sits inside the gated Santa Maria community on the eastern side of Panama City. The location gives the property far more greenery and open space than most urban hotels while keeping the airport and major city districts within easy reach.
Guest rooms and suites use warm tropical colors, contemporary furnishings and views over the golf course or gardens. The overall design is polished and residential rather than overtly resort-themed.
The on-site Santa Maria Golf & Country Club features an 18-hole, par-72 course designed by Nicklaus Design and managed by Troon. An outdoor pool, children’s pool, fitness center and full-service spa create a substantial leisure program for a hotel within a major capital.
The spa’s treatments reference Panama’s national flower and local botanicals, while the hotel’s restaurants and bars provide a relaxed mix of regional and international flavors. Club-style social spaces reinforce the residential setting.
The Santa Maria is best for travelers who want to combine Panama City with golf and downtime. It offers a genuine resort rhythm without requiring guests to leave the metropolitan area.
