Editorial, by Maxime Navarre, General Manager

I am often asked what will life be like on Viveros in 2 to 3 years time. It is a fair question as we are still in the early stages of the development of the island.

Some houses have already been handed over to their owners – the latest in May to Mr Orsa, as you will read in this latest issue of our newsletter. The private houses are all spectacular, with their direct access to white sanded beaches.

I am therefore taking you forward to 2014.

We will have seen the opening of the 35-rooms boutique hotel, more private houses and the 104 apartments of Las Villas de La Marina. We will be able to host about 400 guests at full capacity. Every day, between 150 to 200 people will be expected to make the day trip from the Trump Tower in Panama City (the tallest building in the country) and take full advantage of the amenities of the Beach Club.

By then we will also have opened a supermarket, two splendid restaurants at the Beach Club and the Marina. The Marina will become a natural meeting point for fishermen and scuba divers exploring the waters of the Pearls Archipelago. And once you are here, how about going for a picnic or barbecue on a virgin island?

What I am meaning to tell you is that we are not just building roads, houses, apartments or a hotel. We are creating a private island community, with a unique social interaction.

The houses that we are building, surrounded by nature, are of such a dimension that you will get all the privacy you can ask for.

Meanwhile by 2014, we will also have created the opportunities for you to meet friends or business acquaintances for a drink, a meal or just a walk along the Marina. Our wish is to guarantee both your privacy and a social life with no equal in the Pearls Islands.

As you invest in Viveros, we also aim to assure your maximum financial security. In those times of economical turmoil in the Western world, we have decided to create a Trust through which the condominium apartments of Las Villas de La Marina will be purchased and built from start to finish.

I am convinced that the initial success we have seen with Las Villas de la Marina will make it one of our key projects to create the momentum for an outstanding island community. And now is the perfect time to invest and take advantage of that momentum. Especially as the home sites prices are due to increase by 5% in August 15, 2012.

I have spoken personally to all the investors. They love the seaside. They love the prospect of becoming house owners on an island.

At Viveros Resort and Beach Club, we can only agree. Come and visit us!
