The nearest airport is Simón Bolívar International Airport, 36 km from the property. I loved my beachfront cabana, it was clean and comfortable and the hammock on the balcony is a bonus. All the staff were really lovely.

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. The owner/manager Justin was so lovely, answered all of our questions and gave some great tips for the local area. He was also so lovely in all interactions with the other staff, it was just a super comfortable and homely hostel. So many little spots to sit and enjoy a cool breeze, our favourite was the hammock! The hostel was about 10 mins away from the bustling tourist area which made sleeping easier as it was pretty quiet. The breakfast was amazing, eggs + toast + cheese + fruit + coffee! Honestly would happily go back to Santa Marta just to stay in this hostel!

Located in Santa Marta, less than 1 km from Bahía de Santa Marta Beach, Imagine hostel features air-conditioned rooms and a bar. A hot tub and a bicycle rental service are available for guests. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. Great hostel, very close to the center but also the market where you can find the main bus stop to Tayrona. The customer service at the hostel was amazing! They were very helpful. They also agreed to keep our bags when we went to Tayrona for 4 nights. The place was very clean. I highly recommend if you just need to sleep there a couple of nights on your way to Tayrona or Minca.

Hostal velero relax is situated on the beachfront in Santa Marta, a few steps from Guachaca Beach and 42 km from Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino. The property is around 45 km from Santa Marta Gold Museum, 45 km from Santa Marta Cathedral and 46 km from Simon Bolivar Park. The hostel features a terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. This was an absolute surprise and perfect from start to finish. The family hosting this place is so loving and the place and the location just breathtaking! I started by reserving a room and then ended up sleeping on the last floor on just a mattress - so basic but the nature there is just incredible. steady waves and a bit of wind make it the perfect ambiance to sleep outside. No noise at all for cars as the place is located directly in front of the beach. I highly recommend you go there !
