About ChiQ
One local group behind every home.
ChiQWorld is the residential and lifestyle arm of the ChiQ Group of Companies — a Dutch-founded group that has been building in Panama since 2012.
ChiQWorld
European attention to detail, Panamanian knowledge of place.
We connect people with carefully developed, turnkey residences in gated, titled communities across Panama, and support them from first exploration to ownership, rental and life in the country.
Our team combines international backgrounds with local expertise, and works on three values: trust, quality and ecological responsibility — homes that fit their landscape rather than overtake it.

Where we work
Panama's interior, not the city.
Our homes and building projects are all outside Panama City: from Panamá Oeste, just west of the Bridge of the Americas, along the Pacific side of the country to Chiriquí — the mountains of Altos de Campana, the shore of Gatun Lake, the beaches of Chame, Cambutal and Puerto Armuelles. That is where we build, where our teams work every day and where we know the ground, the roads and the permits.
The people you will speak with.
One team across ChiQWorld, Gatun Lake Construction and FRESH: the partners, architects and engineers who design, build and sell our homes, and the people who answer your enquiry.
Bob Knijnenburg
Partner & Project SupervisorWhere we're going
Boutique communities, built with our values at the core.
Today we build, market and sell residences in established communities with respected partners. Next, we are developing boutique communities of our own — planned from the ground up for the way people want to live in Panama.
In their words.
I had the loveliest stay at one of the ChiQWorld homes in the beautiful Yuma Mountain Community, and I’m already dreaming about going to another of their homes!
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. Woke up to mountain views every morning.
The FRESH System allows for consistent airflow throughout the day and supplemented by air conditioning in the bedrooms the house is comfortable. The design is modern and inviting and as a friend visiting expressed, “this place is an epic beach house!”
Working with ChiQ Group has been highly satisfactory from both an operational and strategic standpoint. They demonstrate strong capabilities in planning and executing the works in our projects, particularly supporting us in the development of Yuma Mountain Community.
The Villa was an excellent build and came out beautiful. The finish work was outstanding. My background was in construction building homes in Florida and I can say that the Villa they built here in Coco Beach I would be proud to live in.
