Located on 17 acres of rich forest off the Soesdyke/Linden Highway, Pandama Retreat is not so much about getting away from it all as it is about getting in touch with yourself. It’s a time to strengthen the self and replenish your personal power. The retreat is about silence and stillness.
If you haven’t found the time to pull yourself away from work, family or friends for a while, then it is time to take a closer look at Pandama Retreat. The retreat depends more on the quality of your time rather than the quantity of it. Even a weekend can be sufficient to release your tensions, relax your mind and rejuvenate yourself.
The resort development is intentionally small-scale, to prevent an adverse impact on the environment and local community. Energy-efficient architectural design and low-energy appliances have been employed to reduce energy consumption and the detrimental effects of energy production.
The Pandama Retreat is the result of the vision of owners, Warren and Tracy Douglas. The ‘Giant Pandama’ is a palm that is present throughout the property. It is so unique in the way that it grows that the owners could not resist incorporating it in a very significant way – naming their resort after it.
Pandama Retreat is an oasis of peace and tranquillity. Guests enjoy overnight stays, camping, shopping at the gift shop, a winery, private cabins, hammocks, picnic areas, nature trails, meeting areas for seminars and workshops, and of course swimming in the creek. Bird-watching enthusiasts can experience and photograph the wide variety of exotic birds that call Pandama Retreat home. Solar power is the energy source of choice.
For Tourism Awareness Month 2012, the Guyana Tourism Authority would be hosting an overnight camping retreat at Pandama on November 17. For more information call 219-0094 or visit www.pandamaretreat.com
