Two Sides of Paradise: Discovering the Distinct Worlds of La Coralina Beach Clubs

As November arrives, bringing with it the promise of high season swells and perfect Caribbean weather, it’s time to choose your sanctuary. At La Coralina Island House, we believe the ultimate luxury is having a choice—whether you seek vibrant energy or profound stillness.

Our two exclusive Beach Clubs, Paunch and Bluff, are the two essential expressions of the Bocas del Toro experience. They are separate worlds, designed to cater to distinct desires, yet united by La Coralina’s commitment to quality and conscious hospitality.

Paunch Beach Club: Where the Energy Is Electric

If you hear the call of the ocean and the rhythm of the waves, you belong at Paunch.

What Sets It Apart: Paunch is our destination for action, connection, and dynamic energy. Positioned near one of Bocas del Toro's most consistent surf spots, the vibe here is immediately upbeat and electric. It's the ideal spot to meet fellow travelers, connect with the local surf culture, and enjoy music that matches the dynamic tempo of the island.

The Experience: This is the place to be—whether you’re coming in from a morning session on the reef or settling in for an afternoon of easy, vibrant gastronomy and signature cocktails. Paunch infuses your day with the energy you need to match your adventure.

Bluff Beach Club: The Luxury of Quiet

Just a short distance away, Bluff Beach Club is a completely different kind of escape—it is where true quiet lives.

What Sets It Apart: Bluff is your serene, year-round sanctuary. The atmosphere is intentionally minimal, calming, and dedicated to pure relaxation. We have designed this space to offer the ultimate luxury of quiet, allowing you to fully disconnect from noise and distraction. For your convenience, a complimentary shuttle runs periodically throughout the day to ensure easy, seamless access to and from Bluff for all La Coralina guests.

The Experience: Here, the pace is determined only by the sound of the sea. Enjoy the calm energy with a fresh smoothie, savor our elegant Caribbean fusion cuisine, or simply settle into a lounge chair for an afternoon of profound rest. Bluff is the necessary antidote to the busy world, waiting for you to slow down.

Your Choice for the Season

This season, your perfect experience is secured at La Coralina. Whether you need the upbeat rhythm of Paunch to fuel your adventure or the unmatched tranquility of Bluff for a complete reset, the logistics are seamless.
