15+ years of experience in Panama's real estate sector. Open House May 31st in Yuma Mountain Community. Learn more.

For many Americans and international buyers considering a move to Panama, the idea of purchasing a property abroad can feel exciting, but also overwhelming. What if you choose the wrong area? What if the lifestyle isn’t quite what you imagined?

That’s where short-term rentals come in. At ChiQWorld, we believe that renting before buying is one of the smartest steps you can take when exploring Panama as a future home. It’s not just about logistics—it’s about peace of mind.

Why Rent First?

Panama offers a wide variety of climates, communities, and rhythms of life. From the cool mountain air in Yuma Mountain Community to the surf and sunsets of Coco Beach, every region has a distinct personality.

Short-term rentals allow you to:

  • Experience different areas before committing long-term

  • Test how you feel in Panama’s climate, culture, and pace

  • Evaluate infrastructure, healthcare access, and internet speeds

  • Get a real feel for the lifestyle—daily routines, neighbors, costs

This is especially helpful if you're:

  • Considering retirement abroad

  • Moving as a digital nomad or remote worker

  • Exploring relocation with your partner or family

  • Investing in real estate, but want to make the right choice

Our Rental Options

ChiQWorld offers curated short-term rentals in our key communities, fully furnished and move-in ready. You can live comfortably while exploring your options.

What you can expect:

  • Modern modular homes with full kitchens, A/C, and Wi-Fi

  • Flexible rental terms—weekly or monthly

  • Peaceful, gated locations are ideal for remote work or relaxation

  • Professional management and support throughout your stay

Need something long-term or want to apply rent toward ownership? We also offer rent-to-own packages on select homes.

The Rent-to-Own Advantage

Our rent with option to buy model lets you move in today and purchase later, on your terms.

  • Live in the home immediately

  • Lock in the current price

  • Apply rent payments toward your future down payment

  • Make an informed decision without pressure

It’s the best of both worlds: flexibility now, and the potential for full ownership later.

From Tryout to Lifestyle

We’ve helped dozens of expats transition smoothly from short-term guests to full-time residents and homeowners. Our team is here to support you with:

  • Property options tailored to your needs

  • Local orientation and relocation guidance

  • Custom-built plans if you choose to develop later

  • Maintenance and rental management after you buy

With ChiQWorld, you're not just renting a home—you’re discovering what your new Panama life could look like.

Reach out today to explore short-term rentals, rent-to-own options, or to book your trial stay in one of our communities.

We stayed in one of the ChiQWorld houses in Yuma and absolutely fell in love with the place. The combination of nature, comfort, and total peace is something you don’t find often. Perfect spot for a quiet getaway, and still not too far from the city. Woke up to mountain views every morning.
