About the host

Hosted by Michael

Captain Michael and Paola, who have been sailing the world and in search for the most exotic places and exciting experiences have found this little paradise. During their sailing adventures in San Blas, the dynamic couple has made friends with the Kuna and is helping them advertise their beautiful cabins and islands. We would love to invite you to join them explore this paradise, snorkeling the colorful reefs, meeting the interesting Kuna culture and relaxing on pristine, white sand beaches. You will discover a new adventure that only few will ever experience.

Why they chose this property

Wailidup has become our new favorite island in San Blas after the recently built Over-the-Water cabins were opened to the public. Aside from its friendly Kuna family that manages the island, you will fall in love with your over-the-water cabin and the breathtaking sunsets from your private balcony. Jump into the ocean directly from your cabin or soak up the relaxed atmosphere in the shade of a palm tree. We know once you spend time on this island you will plan to come back for a longer visit next time.

What makes this property unique

Wailidup is one of only two islands in San Blas that features impressive Over-the-Water cabins with access to the ocean directly from your balcony. You can also enjoy your complimentary breakfast, lunch and dinner on your balcony, giving you many romantic moments while watching spectacular sunset. The island is fairly big and can be explored on a path, crossing the island in about five minutes walk. Your cabins are located in a very private and secluded area of the island and features a white sand beach and a beach club house where you can sip on a cocktail and lounge in the shade while reading a book or meeting other guests.
