Dovle Selva is a new residential project in Coco del Mar designed around three ideas: flexible loft-style apartments, nature-inspired common areas, and amenities created for people who work and create from home.
The building’s 55 m² and 65 m² apartments each offer two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a balcony, and a double-height design that the public is absolutely loving.
We will be offering airbnb short term vacation rental condos for sale under the project’s hotel permit, with separate access and dedicated amenities for guests.
Located near Parque Omar and the waterfront, Dovle Selva is for you if you are looking for a compact primary residence, a base in Panama City, or an investment property in an upscale neighborhood that’s between downtown Panama City and the international airport.
Dovle Selva brings a different kind of small-format apartment to Coco del Mar. Rather than designing each residence entirely on one level, the project uses 4.5-meter ceilings to create loft-style layouts with living areas below and additional private space above.
Both the 55 m² and 65 m² models include two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open kitchen, laundry area, and balcony.
The building has four levels of covered parking and four residential elevators. A fifth elevator serves the units associated with the project’s hotel permit, as required by law.
One of Dovle Selva’s more important distinctions is the separation between conventional residences and condos intended for short-term rentals.
The project was developed by the same group who has had tremendous success with neighboring Dovle, with architecture by GO and interiors by Mary Calvo Design. Taller Gaia was responsible for the landscaping concept, including the building’s signature rooftop “Selva.”

The smaller layouts and location near Parque Omar could make these apartments especially relevant to young professionals, couples, part-time residents, and buyers who want a manageable property in the city.
Investors should compare the purchase price with realistic nightly or monthly rental projections, hotel-permit operating rules, management costs, maintenance fees, and competing inventory in Coco del Mar and San Francisco.
The amenities at Dovle Selva begin above the residential floors, taking advantage of views of the Pacific Ocean and Panama City skyline.
Unlike buildings that focus almost entirely on recreation, Dovle Selva includes several spaces for remote work and content production. This makes the amenity package particularly relevant to entrepreneurs, consultants, digital professionals, and residents who regularly work from home.

-400 m² rooftop tropical garden
-Garden coworking area
-Digital conference room
-Recording studio
-Podcast studio
-Private Zoom rooms

-Yoga deck
-BBQ deck

The rooftop Selva is the centerpiece of the project. Designed as an elevated tropical environment, it incorporates vegetation, water, stone, walkways, and private gathering spaces. Rather than functioning only as decoration, the garden is intended to become an extension of the residents’ living and social space.
The developer’s plans also incorporate solar panels for common areas and rainwater collection.
Dovle Selva is located in Coco del Mar, on the eastern side of Panama City between San Francisco and the waterfront.
Coco del Mar is known for its combination of established residential streets, ocean views, and access to the rest of the city. From the building, residents can reach Parque Omar, supermarkets, restaurants, pharmacies, schools, and everyday services without having to travel to the opposite side of Panama City.
The location also provides relatively direct access to Avenida Cincuentenario, Calle 50, Vía Israel, and the Corredor Sur. This can be useful for residents commuting to Costa del Este, Punta Pacífica, Obarrio, or Tocumen International Airport.
Life in Dovle Selva is likely to feel different from living in one of Coco del Mar’s larger, more traditional family apartments.
The residences are compact, but the double-height layouts and extensive common areas are designed to expand how residents use the building. Someone working remotely could move between a private Zoom room, the garden coworking area, and the recording studio without leaving the property. In the evening, the rooftop pool, BBQ deck, demonstration kitchen, fire pit, and private nidos create several options for relaxing or meeting friends.
The project should work best for buyers comfortable with a more vertical, loft-style home. The presence of both residential and hotel-permit units may create more flexibility for investors, but it also means buyers should understand how the two uses are separated and managed. Make sure to speak with your Panama Equity real estate agent regarding guest access, amenity usage, operating expenses, and the building’s short-term rental rules before making a decision on a condo.
Dovle Selva’s two-bedroom layouts could serve several rental markets, including professionals working in Panama City, couples, corporate tenants, medical visitors, and part-time residents looking for a furnished apartment near San Francisco and Parque Omar.
Designated hotel-permit units may also participate in the short-term rental market. However, buyers should not assume that every apartment can legally or operationally be rented by the night. The permit status of the exact unit, building regulations, management requirements, and applicable tourism rules should all be confirmed before purchasing.

Coco del Mar is a relatively small residential neighborhood with a noticeably quieter atmosphere than many of Panama City’s central high-rise districts. Its position along the waterfront gives portions of the neighborhood open ocean views, while its proximity to San Francisco keeps restaurants, supermarkets, cafés, schools, and medical services close by.
One of the neighborhood’s biggest lifestyle advantages is Parque Omar. The park offers walking and running paths, sports facilities, playgrounds, green areas, and space for community activities. For residents who want outdoor space without moving to the suburbs, being close to the park can make a meaningful difference in daily life.
Housing in Coco del Mar ranges from older, spacious apartments to newer boutique projects with smaller layouts and contemporary amenities. Dovle Selva falls into the second category, offering buyers a more compact home with a strong emphasis on technology, shared workspaces, and nature-inspired design.
Coco del Mar may be especially attractive to buyers who want to remain close to the center of Panama City while avoiding the heavier commercial atmosphere of neighborhoods such as Obarrio or the density of Avenida Balboa.
