Company information
Xarm Apartments was founded in 2010 in the beautiful city of Santa Marta, Colombia, by Sandra and Ángel, two Spaniards who fell deeply in love with this corner of the Caribbean and wanted to share with the world the magic that captivated them: its light, its people, and its natural charm.
With more than 50 properties in different regions of Colombia, we have managed more than 30,000 reservations and welcomed more than 110,000 guests from over 100 countries. Our mission is simple and profound: to create unique experiences that make every traveler feel at home, combining friendly service, inspiring design, and attention to detail.
Our passion for decoration leads us to constantly seek out new trends and styles, integrating natural materials, soft tones, and warm textures that convey calm and balance. Each space is lovingly designed to inspire and awaken emotions. We believe that places tell stories, and each of our properties has its own voice.
After years of experience in multinational companies, we apply the same standards of excellence, organization, and professionalism, but with the human touch that defines our understanding of hospitality. At Xarm Apartments, we believe that perfection lies not in rigidity, but in authenticity and the love with which things are done.
We operate apartments, villas, and boutique hotels in Santa Marta, La Guajira, and Filandia, each with its own personality, design, and local essence. We combine modern comfort, careful aesthetics, and Colombian spirit, creating homes that invite you to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with yourself.
Our team is warm, attentive, and friendly, focused on offering genuine and kind service, but above all, in love with Santa Marta and everything this city has to offer.
Welcome to Xarm Apartments, where hospitality is lived with the heart and every stay feels like coming home.
