Molaya Bay Resort & Residences is a planned resort on a site the developer gives as 43.1 acres (174,408 square metres) at the base of Cerro Trinidad in Lídice, Capira, west of Panama City, developed by TrinityHills Capital through its Panamanian entity Trinity Hills Valley, which owns the land. Its centrepiece is a 2.5-acre surf lagoon that the developer says will run Endless Surf technology, alongside a 111-key Tribute Portfolio hotel under a franchise agreement with Marriott International that the developer dates to 27 November 2025, private residences and a members' clubhouse. The hotel and residences are to be managed by Remington Hospitality, under a hotel management agreement the developer says was executed on 27 October 2026.

Founding initiation fees run from 6,500 dollars (Sunset Club, resort amenities without lagoon sessions) to 65,000 dollars (Círculo de Fundadores), rising after construction starts, with annual dues from 3,600 to 18,000 dollars.
