Historic Center
Step back in time while wandering the cobblestone streets of Santa Marta's Historic Center. The towering white Cathedral Basilica stands proud among colonial buildings with colorful balconies draped in bougainvillea. History buffs can explore the Gold Museum's pre-Columbian treasures or soak up the atmosphere in palm-shaded Plaza de Bolívar. Caribbean beaches beckon just a short stroll away. Traditional seafood restaurants and family-run cafés serve coconut rice and tropical fruits throughout the historic district. Boutique hotels in restored colonial mansions offer intimate courtyards and period details for a truly authentic stay. The compact neighborhood is best explored on foot, with taxis readily available for trips to nearby Tayrona National Park.
El Rodadero
El Rodadero's golden crescent beach buzzes with colorful umbrellas and lively vendors selling everything from fresh coconut water to handmade crafts. Beach lovers can soak up the Caribbean sun or dive into water sports like jet skiing and parasailing. The iconic Mundo Marino aquarium showcases local marine life, while a scenic cable car whisks you up nearby hills for breathtaking views. Beachfront restaurants serve up fresh seafood and Caribbean specialties with ocean views. High-rise hotels and vacation rentals dominate the skyline, most featuring pools and direct beach access.

Between ocean dips, you'll find upscale restaurants serving fresh seafood on ocean-view terraces and exclusive beach clubs offering premium water sports. Luxury condominiums and boutique hotels dominate the accommodation scene, complete with private balconies and concierge service.

Santa Marta and related destinations
Between the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Caribbean Sea, Santa Marta offers a perfect blend of natural wonders and colonial history. Tayrona National Park beckons with rainforests where monkeys swing through the canopy above pristine beaches. Take a break from sunbathing at Santa Marta Beach to explore Parque de los Novios, the city's vibrant social hub. History buffs can't miss Ciudad Perdida, an ancient archaeological site often called 'Colombia's Machu Picchu.' The impressive Santa Marta Cathedral stands as testament to the city's status as one of South America's oldest surviving settlements. For a change of pace, the coral reefs off Taganga Beach provide spectacular snorkeling opportunities where tropical fish dart through crystal waters.

Hilton Santa Marta
"Unfortunately my daughter and I were sick half of our stay, but I really want to highlight how helpful everyone was, Lina from the front desk was so attentive and she was able to get medical assistance for us, after that everyone continued checking that we were ok, even the restaurant adapted to our personal dietary needs. The level of hospitality is really high. We enjoyed the beach and the perfect pool. Thank you so much for making us feel home."

"Expected more from the food at the restaurants."
GHL Relax Hotel Costa Azul
"On day one we were in a standard room in tower 2 (newer tower out of the two on property) but there was water maintenance being done and we were without water for over 3 hours which was an inconvenience for us and the lock box was not working. The staff immediately offered us a room change to tower 1 to a jr suite and it was perfect! The view of the ocean and two pools from the balcony were beautiful. The one restaurant on property is delicious and good prices. The beach is also quirt and clean. Great for families."
