Pao Pao

Pao Pao Beach Club, operated by the same group as Bora Bora, strikes a balance between lively hospitality and understated elegance. It’s nestled in the Corales del Rosario National Park, surrounded by mangroves and clear blue water that make for a picturesque approach by tender. From the moment you arrive, friendly staff offer a welcome cocktail and lead you to sun loungers or Balinese beds so you can relax while lunch is prepared.

The club caters to both overnight guests and day‑trippers, but its day‑pass is perfectly suited to charter itineraries. It includes a fresh lunch, parasol‑shaded loungers and access to a refreshing pool set just back from the beach. Pao Pao recently began welcoming children aged twelve and over, making it a family‑friendly option for yacht charters with younger teens on board.

Dining here is a highlight, with dishes that range from grilled seafood to tropical salads and decadent desserts. Meals are timed according to your departure, so you won’t feel rushed or delayed. Should your guests wish to stretch their legs, the mangrove‑lined paths and secluded coves invite short explorations. The club also organises guided snorkelling, wellness sessions or even a cornhole championship by the pool, all of which can be enjoyed in an hour or two.

Travellers arriving by their own boats can choose extras such as Pergola and Jacuzzi suites or Balinese beds, turning a simple lunch stop into a touch of luxury. The credit for these spaces is consumable, meaning you can use it toward food and drinks while you’re ashore. Staff are adept at coordinating with captains to ensure tenders can come and go smoothly, and they’ll prepare your table ahead of time.

Pao Pao’s combination of serene natural setting, professional service and flexible amenities make it a versatile stop for yacht and catamaran charters. Whether your guests want a quick swim and a cocktail or a longer lunch and a wellness class, they’ll leave refreshed and ready for the next leg of their cruise.
