Selina was founded in 2007 by Rafael Museri and Daniel Rudasevski. They were originally from Pedasi, a small fishing town in Panama.

They did some real estate projects in developing towns, and they then started to create a tight-knit circle of locals and travelers alike. The very first Selina was born in 2014 in Venao, a surf town near Pedasi, Panama.
