about the CREATOR

Annick Bélanger, a Canadian native raised in Africa, is a humble host and former restaurateur driven by a vision to establish a space for boundless opportunities in exploration, discovery, creativity, and philanthropy. Her passion lies in cultivating environments where individuals can feel genuine, positive, and engage in meaningful exchanges of thoughts and ideas. This commitment led her to Bocas del Toro, where, after exploring the island that is now home to Sweet Bocas, she embarked on a mission to turn her vision into reality.

Inspired by her father, a trailblazer who founded trade schools and vocational programs that positively impacted numerous lives, Annick places education at the heart of Sweet Bocas' mission. This dedication propels our team to transform Sweet Bocas into a platform that aligns with our values of sustainability, empowerment, and scholarship. Simultaneously, we strive to deliver an unparalleled high-end experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional luxury.
