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 road to this hotel was an adventure, but absolutely worth it! Nestled in the mountains, the location is stunning, quiet, and perfect for a retreat. Our room was super comfortable, spotless, with an amazing hot shower and a lovely terrace. The shared areas were fantastic, including a pool, bar with delicious cocktails, and a restaurant serving incredible food. The staff was super friendly, making the stay even better. For digital nomads, the coworking space and strong WiFi (even during bad weather) were a huge plus. The hotel also offers activities like yoga, workouts, and hikes, so there’s always something to do. Highly recommended for those seeking rest or remote work in a peaceful, natural setting!

Calma Chicha is set on the beachfront in Santa Marta, a few steps from Guachaca Beach and 42 km from Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino. Located around 46 km from Santa Marta Gold Museum, the hostel with free WiFi is also 46 km away from Santa Marta Cathedral. Certain units at the property feature a balcony with a mountain view. You can't beat the location if you want to sleep on the beach or need to unplug. It's a small fishing/surfing village, with a touristic twist. The waves are quite intense so swimming may or may not be a good idea depending on the waves. We enjoyed watching the fisherman putting the boats in the water in the morning, the whole community comes to help. Don't expect a 5 star hotel with all the amenities, this isn't it. It's a wonderful little spot on a beautiful beach. The internet works. It's accessible by bus and a half a mile walk (or moto ride). It's also a short bus ride to the entrance of Tayrona Park. We absolutely loved sleeping with the sound of the waves.
