Pedasí, Panama: A Pacific Real Estate Destination Growing Year by Year Pedasí is a district located at the southeastern tip of the Azuero Peninsula, in the province of Los Santos, along Panama's Pacific coast. Covering an area of 378.1 km² with a district-wide population of around 4,300 (2010 census), Pedasí has transformed from a fishing village into one of the country's most sought-after destinations for vacation homes, retirement living, and investment. Location and Access Pedasí is approximately a 4-to-6-hour drive from Panama City via the Pan-American Highway. For those seeking greater convenience, Air Panama operates direct flights from Paitilla Airport in Panama City to the local Pedasí airport (code PDM), with a flight time of roughly 30–45 minutes. Additionally, the Panamanian government has announced a $5 million investment to attract direct charter flights to airports in the interior—including the Pedasí region, part of the so-called "Pacific Riviera"—aiming to reduce reliance on transfers from the capital. A Town with Established Infrastructure Unlike other beach destinations in Panama, Pedasí boasts a bank, public health clinics, supermarkets, restaurants, and established local businesses, making it a viable place for year-round living rather than just a vacation spot. Boutique hotel rates range from $40 to $100 per night.
