Zen-style villas minutes from Panama’s favourite surf beach
89% Sold: Only 2 out of 18 villas left
Casa Valley, also called Mar Valley, is an exclusive gated community of individual villas just minutes walking distance to Panama’s most famous surfer beach: Playa Venao. It’s location stands out, as it is between the development BlueVenao and Villa Marina, but on the side of the street which points inland. In our opinion, that’s the perfect distance from the beach. Far enough away from the beach clubs and the party to enjoy true quietness in your Zen garden, but still close enough to walk easily to the beach and all the restaurants.
The project is enhanced by a commercial area which faces the street. This not only protects the residential area against the sounds of the streets but will also be a place to meet friends, have a coffee and do sports. It includes an outdoor activity center park and will feature the first padel court at Playa Venao!
Model overview:
2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and an open living and kitchen area featuring an open line of sight all the way from the dining area through the hallway to another floor-to-ceiling window which leads to a hidden terrace. The master bedroom features both a walk-in closet and access to the main terrace. The real highlight of the master room, however, is the super-wide bathroom with a private outdoor shower. The second bedroom also features a private terrace and a private bathroom, this time with an inside shower which feels like an outdoor shower because of it’s floor-to-ceiling window.
The two zen-gardens on both sides of the hallway between the living and sleeping area not only provide a nice separation but also bring in lots of light through the large windows. The living area is set a few steps underground. Standing at the kitchen, you will feel like the DJ of the party, overlooking the couch.
A few steps further and you are outside on the relaxing terrace: 3m x 12 m. This terrace give you a huge space for yoga, dinners, having a shower at the second outdoor shower next to the terrace or simply enjoying the nature around you. The area of the project is keeping enough trees and greenery to keep nature as well, You can see plenty of birds and sometimes you will wake up hearing the local howling monkeys.
The many windows integrated into the architecture of these villas take full advantage of the surrounding forest. An organic, minimalist and integrated building with lots of light and nature. Whether through its high ceilings, its hallway bordered by Japanese gardens, or its open spaces, everything is designed to be light. Combining minimalistic materials such as polished concrete, wood and glass, the focus is kept on the surrounding nature.
Outstanding building quality
Casa Valley stands out by its wonderfully modern design, bringing a new level of architecture to the beach. It’s extremely high ceilings are not only stylish but also very beneficial for the room temperature in this tropical climate. The strategic placement of large windows from floor to ceiling connects you to the nature surrounding you. The project kept some old trees strategically on the site and pays a lot of attention to detail when it comes to creating a natural environment where one can feel at home.
The property developer, Venao Ventures, behind the Casa Valley project has been at Playa Venao for almost 20 years. They are known for outstanding building quality within Venao, such as having compacted gravel foundations with carefully designed water drainage systems throughout the whole development, state-of-the-art waste water treatment and building the most beautiful roads in the area. The founder and CEO of Venao Ventures, Elad Asiag, is a surfer himself and fell in love with Playa Venao 20 years ago. Since then, he has never left and is building a success story of exceptional properties in Venao and the neighbouring town of Canas.

Customize your surfer beach villa
While you cannot build yourself within the Casa Valley project, you do have the ability to fully customise your home while staying in the design language of the overall project. This ensures a high level of design and visual appeal throughout the project. If you were, for example, to optimise further for profitability, one could build a villa with three separate bedrooms with access to each and rent them out separately.
Expected rental return in Playa Venao
Casa Valley is designed to maximize profitability while you’re away, ensuring the comfort of your family, friends, guests, and Airbnb clients. With an impressive potential profitability of 11%, there’s simply no comparison in Panama. Venao Ventures calculated this figure with almost 20 years of experience in Playa Venao. It’s based on data of from Airbnb and real estate managers in Playa Venao, considering a full calendar year of vacation rental.
Increase of real estate values in Venao
Prices for one of the two remaining lots, including construction of the villa, start at $380,000 right now. Depending on your custom configuration, this might be more. We, at Pallas, anticipate a substantial increase in value. We see the possibility that these villas could already be sold for $800,000–$1,200,000 after completion, just because there is such a shortage of completed villas on this level of quality close to the beach right now.
This projected growth is also based on significant upcoming structural improvements in the Playa Venao area. To highlight a few: Playa Venao is set to welcome three five-star hotels within the next three years. Right now, there are no other five-star resorts within a 200-radius. Among the hotels opening new in Venao, there is the most successful luxury hotel of Casco Viejo (Old Town of Panama City) and a very successful hotel group from Tulum—a hint to where Playa Venao’s value development is targeted.
Additionally, one of the top international schools of Panama will build a second school in Playa Venao. It’s also the first of it’s kind in the whole Azuero Peninsula area. Not to forget major upcoming infrastructure improvements, such as a pedestrian walkway along the main road. These enhancements, coupled with increasing investor interest, are set to significantly boost real estate values in the region.
Limited time of opportunity
We have been observing the success of the Casa Valley project over the last few months. The building is just starting, and already 16 of the 18 villas are sold. Looking at the speed of sales, we expect they will be sold within the next 2–3 months. The villas are still within the inner circle of the beach area, just 5 minutes walking from the beach. We see a great investment opportunity in this geographically limited, uniquely crescent-shaped beach area.
