The Santa Maria, A Luxury Collection Hotel and Golf Resort
A golfer’s paradise in Panama City
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Layers of luxury await at The Santa Maria, A Luxury Collection Hotel and Golf Resort. After passing through the exclusive community’s gated entrance, you’ll be greeted by a bubbling fountain and the gorgeous sandstone-colored porte-cochère. Once inside, you’ll find a soothing space outfitted in natural tones, hand-crafted furniture and Panamanian art for a luxurious local touch. Just beyond the lobby, you’ll catch glimpses of glorious color in the form of a sparkling blue pool and brilliant green swaying trees.
But opulence isn’t just skin deep at this Panama City hideaway. The property boasts more than 500 acres of activity, including a stunning Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course and country club that hosted the 2024 Latin American Amateur Golf Championships for the first time in January.
Those not here for the links won’t be left behind, though. Spacious accommodations, a sumptuous spa and three dining venues just scratch the surface of the indulgences that lie within.
