About the San Blas Islands

The San Blas Islands, part of the Guna Yala autonomous province, are an archipelago comprising over 365 islands and cays along the Caribbean coast of Panama. This beautiful and untouched region, scattered with white-sand beaches, palm trees, and crystal-clear waters, is home to the indigenous Guna people. The Gunas are known for their preservation of traditional ways of life, their unique matriarchal society, and their beautiful molas — hand-sewn panels that feature complex geometrical designs. Staying on the islands offers an opportunity to experience this rich and distinct culture, as well as enjoy the islands' natural beauty.
