Offering a terrace and views of the garden, Masaya Casas Viejas is set 30 minutes away from Minca in the Magdalena Region by 4x4 or motorcycle, and 12 mi from Santa Marta. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar with a terrace.

All private rooms are equipped with a ensuite bathroom. The property, the pool, the view and the staff were all incredible, especially Sergio our host. I absolutely loved this place. The private rooms were great to have your space and comfort while still enjoying the social aspect of the hostel.

Boasting a beachfront location, Playa del Ritmo Beach Hostel &Bar offers free Wi-Fi and 24-hour front desk assistance in Pozos Colorados beach, Santa Marta. El Rodadero beach is 2 km from the property. I LOVED this hostel, the beach was great without any waves, not a lot of people, very calm water. The breakfast was delish, the food and drinks sold at the bar were very good, a bit pricey but not too bad. I will stay here everytime I visit Santa Marta. Do keep in mind that it's like 15/20 min drive to the center of Santa Marta, but taxis are cheap.

Featuring a garden, a shared lounge as well as a terrace, Sana Mar Hostel & Eco-Café is located in the centre of Santa Marta, 700 metres from Bahía de Santa Marta Beach. The property is around 800 metres from Simon Bolivar Park, 4.5 km from Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino and 7 km from Rodadero Sea Aquarium and Museum. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. It is more than just a Hostel and cafe, and more than just a place to stay. Justin is making moves and giving back to the community, and finding away to bring people back to nature, which is more than I can say for most of the hostels I’ve stayed at. If you’d like to be part of something bigger, it’s a good place to start. The staff were all extremely nice and accommodating! The place was clean, set up well for travelers and in a great part of town! It was especially nice being able to talk to an expat Justin, who was quick to show me all of the areas i should check out. The set up and price make this a great place for someone passing through for an evening like myself or for a more long term stay there in Santa Marta!
