What’s interesting about Punta Pacifica is, believe it or not, it is not a place that even Panamanians would regard as a commercial hotspot and an area that travelers visit for recreation. Think of it as a bona fide town — a place that is relatively still away from vehicular pollution and doesn’t have that much buildings. It was the famous business magnate, Donald J. Trump, who placed this seemingly sleepy place in mass recognition. Trump chose to build his first real estate investment in Central America in Panama, specifically in Punta Pacifica. Expected to be fully finished this year, this real estate investment, dubbed as the Trump Ocean Club, if everything goes according to plan, would make Punta Pacifica one of the hottest places in the global beach tourism scene.

It is quite understandable why, of all places, Trump chose Punta Pacifica for his first real estate project in Central America. Punta Pacifica is an unspoiled stunner and it offers otherworldly beachfront views of the Pacific Ocean as well as the Panama Bay. Punta Pacifica is also a developing area that has what can be considered a financial center complete with malls and hospitals. And the town is linked directly to the rest of Panama City by the newly constructed highway called Corredor Sur. This guarantees accessibility of Punta Pacifica to any tourist-important area, like the airport.
