Masaya Casas Viejas

Minca

Masaya Casas Viejas is a hostel located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, surrounded by mountains, coffee plantations, rivers, and tropical forest.

I was worried we would be too remote from the hub in Minca to really enjoy the area, especially after experiencing the road up to the hostel, but I was wrong. Everything we needed was right there. We were more than happy to hike to all the things we wanted to see but you could just as easily take a moto or 4x4. The food was great. The people were even better. We really didn’t want to leave.

Sana Mar Hostel & Eco-Café

Centro Historico, Santa Marta

Featuring a garden, a shared lounge as well as a terrace, Sana Mar Hostel & Eco-Café is located in the center of Santa Marta, a 8-minute walk from Bahía de Santa Marta Beach.

Sana Mar has become an absolute haven for me, and staying there for the second time only deepened my appreciation for what makes this place so special. From the moment you arrive, it feels personal, cozy, and thoughtfully created—a true sanctuary from the loudness, intensity, and heat of Santa Marta. What stands out most is how deeply Justin, the owner, genuinely cares. His commitment to sustainability is not just a label—it is woven into the daily life and philosophy of the hostel in ways that are both meaningful and inspiring. From composting and recycling systems to the use of eco-friendly products, cleaning with vinegar instead of harsh chemicals, environmentally conscious soaps, brown recycled toilet paper, and countless other intentional details, it is clear that every aspect of Sana Mar has been designed with care, responsibility, and environmental consciousness in mind. This is the kind of place where sustainability feels authentic rather than performative. Justin’s thoughtfulness is visible everywhere, creating an atmosphere that is not only welcoming but deeply aligned with values of care—for guests, for the planet, and for the overall experience of peaceful living. Sana Mar is more than just a hostel; it is a refuge. A calm, mindful, and beautifully curated space that offers comfort while proving that hospitality and sustainability can coexist seamlessly. I am incredibly grateful for places like this, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, eco-conscious stay in Santa Marta.

Sunset Serenata

Minca

12 miles from Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino in Minca, Sunset Serenata features accommodations with access to a hot tub.

We had a wonderful stay at sunset serenata! It was the highlight of our trip. The accommodation was beautifully maintained and we woke to the sound of jungle birds every morning. The views from the deck and hot tub were unmatched, it was the perfect place to unwind and be in nature. It was really easy to access the property, we initially took a moto up to the property, but it was also really easy to access walking up the road. Theo was immensely helpful, giving us local recommendations of things to do in the area and the breakfast every morning was also delicious. 10/10 recommend staying here if you’re planning a trip to minca.

Beautiful location, amazing sunsets over the jungle and pool. Local coffee plantation offers cheap tours and easy to get to from a little direct path. 11 person dorm is one of the best, single beds and spread out.

Everything was lovely. Very clean and very attentive staff. The location was perfect, we could easily access the beach and main tourist area. We booked a trip to the Lost City and returned here to unwind afterwards. They also dealt with our laundry. The swimming pool was well kept and a welcome retreat.

The location next to the beach was fantastic. Play Brava was a very quiet beach and during the day you have the beach almost to yourselves. The food served wasn't the cheapest but it was very tasty and the staff we very kind and helpful. They provided towels and soap for the shared chalet. They also had a swimming pool which was great since the sea was too choppy to swim in. Beds were clean and comfortable for this kind of property.

It was a budget price so it was priced right. The location was good being about a 5-10 minute walk out of town. Therefore no loud noise from the town, quite peaceful.l

We enjoyed our stay. The location was excellent and the staff were most pleasant and helpful. It was the first accommodation in Colombia which provided a town map, going through everything for us to do. Highly recommend for this budget of accommodation. Drinks you could buy there were the same price as a shop.
