About This Island

One of the northernmost Pearl Islands, Gibraleon Island is a plot of cultural fame and natural splendour – the 227-acre property was the setting for a season of the US television show “Survivor”. An extension of its parent archipelago, Gibraleon is characterised by crystalline waters, soft-sand shores, vibrant flora, and diverse wildlife. Specifically, the property’s headline features include eight beaches, a natural bay ideal as a marina, whale watching and fishing opportunities, plus proximity to neighbouring islands and Panama City.
