Istmo Adventure and Yoga retreat was a dream that became reality of the co-founders and managers Sean Davis and Ayesha Irani Davis. We wanted to combine our varied backgrounds to create unique and memorable vacations for our guest.
We have both travelled extensively and lived in several different countries around the world. We settled in Panama in 2003 and knew that we found a special place to put down roots and create our dream retreat. We fell in love with Panama and are excited about the opportunity to share this tropical paradise with our guest.
Sean was born and raised in Galveston, Texas on the Gulf Coast. His whole life he has lived close to and had a special connection with the ocean. He has travelled extensively around the world and has lived in Chile, Colombia, and Panama. He attended cooking school in New Orleans, Louisiana, is a former Emergency Medical Technician, and a proud father of two.
Ayesha was born in Bombay, and moved to the United States at the age of 13. She served in the Peace Corps in Paraguay. Her love for travel and adventure led her to Panama, where she meet Sean Davis and finally settled down to have family and create this dream called Istmo. She received her yoga teacher training, in traditional hatha yoga, at the Parmath Niketan Ashram in Rishikesh. She also is a certified Kids Yoga teacher, and is constantly exploring different teachers and styles of yoga to expand her foundations. Her pride and joy is her family and two babies – Noah and Kamila!
Looking for a relaxing beach getaway close to the city? At Istmo we provide luxury air-conditioned accommodations and healthy/international cuisine in idyllic setting surrounded by nature, come spend a night on one of our luxurious beds in our private bungalows.
DELICIOUS, TROPICAL CUISINE - COOKED FRESH BY OUR RENOWNED CHEF Istmo's menu has been lovingly crafted by owner and Chef Sean Davis, a graduate of a prominent cooking school in New Orleans, Louisiana. We offer a tropical fusion cuisine that blends influences from Latin America, Caribbean,, Middle East, the Mediterranean, North Africa, the Far East, South East Asia, Cajun, Southern US, and the Pacific Rim Islands. Most of our meals are vegetarian or fish and seafood based; however, we can easily accommodate our guests who are gluten free, vegan, or require substitutions because of food allergies. Our meals are created from what we have grown organically, and supplemented by what we can purchase locally. We make every effort to maintain a light carbon footprint and support local farmers and fisherman, buying the high majority of our produce and seafood within a 20 mile radius. During your morning walk, you may see us down at the beach on Playa Grande, buying the catch of the day for your dinner.
