You can play table tennis at this hostel. El Rodadero Beach is 30 km from Ecolodge Playa Brava Teyumakke, while Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino is 24 km away. The nearest airport is Simón Bolívar International Airport, 36 km from the property. The lodge is located on Playa Brava which is probably the quietest of Tayrona's main beaches because it's a much longer and more challenging hike to reach. As a result you have a real feeling of escapism, and there are much more premium accommodation options than in the rest of the park. It was a great place to chill out and enjoy escaping reality.

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. A Home Away from Home in Santa Marta – Highly Recommended! Sana Mar was meant to be just a short stop on our journey—but what started as a two-night stay quickly turned into five because we kept wanting to come back! The warm, welcoming atmosphere and family-like feeling made it hard to leave. The hostel is perfectly located — just a 10-minute walk to the beach, five minutes to food courts and a supermarket, and only 15 minutes to Mercado Público, where all major buses to Minca, Tayrona, and Palomino depart. It’s the perfect base for exploring the region. A true highlight of our stay was the hospitality of host Justin and the amazing chef Natalie. Every day, a freshly prepared menu is available, offering delicious and varied dishes such as Baba Ganoush, eggplant lasagna, and curries. While we couldn’t try everything, it was clear that food is a real passion here. There’s also a great breakfast and a communal kitchen for those who like to cook. The rooms are comfortable, equipped with fans and windows for fresh air. And if you’re lucky, you might get to try one of Justin’s love-made kombuchas—an exclusive treat that reflects the care and dedication poured into every aspect of the hostel. The hostel staff speaks Spanish, with Justin also fluent in English and Natalie speaking both English and German, ensuring easy communication for international guests. Another great service is the option to store your backpack while exploring nearby highlights like Minca or Tayrona, making it easy to travel light and return without hassle. Beyond just accommodation, Sana Mar stands for “Healing the Sea.” Staying here not only enhances your trip but also supports a meaningful project that trys to help reduce plastic waste in the oceans. We loved our time here and would come back in a heartbeat — highly recommended! Best, Chris and Thomas
