Modern comforts are in abundance from the TVs, high-speed internet, air-conditioning units on full blast, food imported from other countries, and furniture and decor sourced to emulate an elevated version of your home. There&#8217;s a disconnect between the traveler and the destination, and with so much uniformity, <em>getting away<\/em> doesn&#8217;t really feel like it.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s strip it back to the basics. Imagine your own private island: 400-acres of lush rain forest with a rich archaeological history and secluded beaches accessible by foot from a beachfront casita. At Isla Palenque, a small private island on the western Pacific shore of Panama, this is exactly what guests are treated to: a sustainable and intimate escape that is the ultimate expression of barefoot luxury. A plane, an automobile, and a boat ride are the minimum requirements to get there, but once you arrive, allow the tide to kiss your feet while you sip a fresh fruit juice at sunset on a beach you have completely to yourself.<\/p>\n<div class=\"consumer-marketing-unit consumer-marketing-unit--article-mid-content consumer-marketing-unit--no-failsafe\"><\/div>\n<figure class=\"asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"responsive-asset asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"responsive-image asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/media.architecturaldigest.com\/photos\/5d9bac4cc4f1cb0008ae8e95\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/ISLA%252520PALENQUE%252520-%252520HIGHLIGHT-13.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" alt=\"a tropical beach\" width=\"906\" height=\"605\" \/><\/picture><\/span><\/div><figcaption class=\"caption asset-embed__caption\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;pattern&quot;:&quot;Caption&quot;}\" data-event-boundary=\"click\" data-in-view=\"{&quot;pattern&quot;:&quot;Caption&quot;}\" data-include-experiments=\"true\">The secluded beaches of Isla Palenque.<span class=\"caption__credit\">Photo by Mike Dell.

From the people to the food to the design materials, everything is sourced locally (most even coming directly from the property). \u201cA big part of the sustainable design is seen in the use of local materials like the thatched roofs and the wood furniture, sourced from fallen wood and crafted at our workshop on the island,\u201d says Hans Pfister of Cayuga Collection, the hotel group that manages the resort. The property also features its own garden and planted fruit trees in order to locally source its ingredients, while also banning single-use plastics in favor of reusable bottles and natural papaya-stem straws. As far as the resort\u2019s more technical practices, no details are overlooked. Loomis adds that cross ventilation, good use of natural light, showers that are heated with solar panels, and treating all black and gray water to reuse for irrigation are also highly important sustainable efforts put in place throughout the property.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row full-bleed-ad\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"grid grid-margins grid-items-2 grid-layout--adrail narrow\">\n<div class=\"grid--item body body__container article__body grid-layout__content\">\n<figure class=\"asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"responsive-asset asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"responsive-image asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/media.architecturaldigest.com\/photos\/5d9bace1bc3a7b0009e3f9f5\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/ISLA%252520PALENQUE%252520-%252520HIGHLIGHT-12.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" alt=\"a walk from the bungalow to the water\" width=\"906\" height=\"604\" \/><\/picture><\/span><\/div><figcaption class=\"caption asset-embed__caption\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;pattern&quot;:&quot;Caption&quot;}\" data-event-boundary=\"click\" data-in-view=\"{&quot;pattern&quot;:&quot;Caption&quot;}\" data-include-experiments=\"true\">The bungalows are just steps from the beach.<span class=\"caption__credit\">Photo by Mike Dell.

He discovered the island more than a decade ago, and spent many years sleeping in a hammock before developing it into a resort. His experience living on the island was important, notes Pfister, as he had incredible firsthand insight on the best vantage points and the way the tide would roll in, determining the design of the casitas and the property. Pfister agreed that Isla Palenque offered something special with regards to its geographical and environmental significance. \u201cWhat\u2019s more unique than a private island? People don&#8217;t come to just eat and sleep here, they come for otherworldly experiences,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"responsive-asset asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"responsive-image asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/media.architecturaldigest.com\/photos\/5d9baca0cb18cd00086a902c\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Isla%252520Palenque-Bungalow-3.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" alt=\"a view of the interiors \" width=\"906\" height=\"604\" \/><\/picture><\/span><\/div><figcaption class=\"caption asset-embed__caption\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;pattern&quot;:&quot;Caption&quot;}\" data-event-boundary=\"click\" data-in-view=\"{&quot;pattern&quot;:&quot;Caption&quot;}\" data-include-experiments=\"true\">A guest&#8217;s bungalow.<span class=\"caption__credit\">Photo by Mike Dell.

For Loomis, being socially responsible has always been the core value behind his design philosophy. \u201cIf we don\u2019t take care of the land and nature, we won\u2019t have beautiful places to appreciate,\u201d says Loomis.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"responsive-asset asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"responsive-image asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/media.architecturaldigest.com\/photos\/5d9bad55bc3a7b0009e3f9f7\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Isla%252520Palenque-Bungalow-6.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" alt=\"a bathroom mirror\" width=\"906\" height=\"605\" \/><\/picture><\/span><\/div><figcaption class=\"caption asset-embed__caption\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;pattern&quot;:&quot;Caption&quot;}\" data-event-boundary=\"click\" data-in-view=\"{&quot;pattern&quot;:&quot;Caption&quot;}\" data-include-experiments=\"true\">The bath amenities are locally produced and provided in refillable bottles, as the island has banned single-use plastic.<span class=\"caption__credit\">Photo by Mike Dell.
