The Santa Maria, a Luxury Collection Hotel
Panama
The Santa Maria combines a Panama City hotel with an eighteen-hole, par-72 course designed by Nicklaus Design. The course's rippling fairways, sculpted bunkers and contoured greens make positioning and the short game central to a round, with four tee positions accommodating different levels of play. Rooms and suites provide a base within the Santa Maria development, while a swimming pool offers an alternative to time on the fairways. Dining includes The Grill House FSH & STK, which focuses on fresh seafood and imported USDA Prime beef with wines from major producing regions. Mestizo takes a Panamanian approach, with indoor, terrace and outdoor plaza seating. Golf and food together give the property a clear identity within the capital.
