About This Property

Macaw Bungalows sits directly on the Caribbean shoreline of Isla Carenero, a newly built boutique hospitality property that combines titled beachfront land, distinctive architecture, three finished guest treehouses with a fourth unit under construction and an on-site café open to guests and the public alike.

The land runs to approximately 1,425 m² on one of the archipelago’s most desirable islands. A three to four minute water taxi puts you in Bocas Town for restaurants, shopping and services, yet the property keeps the quiet and the sense of escape that make island living worth it. Carenero has no cars — it is walkable, green, and lined with small beaches and businesses.

At the heart of the property are three individually designed treehouses, each raised into the tropical landscape and connected by a boardwalk that winds through the vegetation. The architecture works with the island rather than shutting it out: local hardwoods, copper and brass, nautical detailing, private balconies, screened windows and air conditioning. Adventurous, but not at the expense of comfort.

Each has its own character. Great Green Wing leans into the jungle with a green palette and copper accents. Lear’s Treehouse draws on the sea with deep blues and brass, and has already earned a 5.0 rating and Guest Favorite status on Airbnb. Spix’s Treehouse takes the quieter coastal route, in weathered greys and driftwood textures.

Hyacinth Bungalow is still under construction. It is designed in classic Barbadian and West Indies style — bright white interiors, rich wood, vintage furnishings and French doors opening to the garden, with a king-size four-poster bed — and it is the one part of the property a buyer finishes to their own taste.

The Chillin’ Macaw Café adds a second income stream and a place in the local community, with high-end equipment and its own guest bathroom. The sale includes the furnishings, the décor, the café equipment and the Macaw Bungalows website and brand — so a buyer steps into an established concept rather than spending years building, furnishing and branding one.

The business is young but already trading, with around fifteen five-star reviews to its name. For a buyer who wants both a lifestyle and a return, this is a rare combination: beachfront land, considered design, and a boutique operation ready to keep running or to grow.
