Gitana del Mar

Sustainable

Wellness

Nature

Nestled where the Caribbean meets the forested slopes of the Sierra Nevada, Gitana del Mar feels like a secret reclaimed by nature. Just a 15-minute drive from the entrance of Parque Nacional Tayrona, the retreat’s design blends eco-chic bungalows, tucked along the rugged coast, eco-chic simplicity with rustic warmth: thatched roofs, natural materials, and open views to the sea and palms. The retreat is family-run, born of a vision to honor regional spirit fishing traditions and indigenous cosmology.

Notes:

The easiest way to reach Gitana del Mar is by road from Santa Marta – about a one-hour drive from the airport. The restaurant works hand in hand with local fishermen, crafting a sea-to-table menu that blends Colombian, Latin, and Asian flavors. Children under 3 years old are only welcome in Bungalow Selva and Bungalow Sierra. Although each room is equipped with excellent cross-ventilation and ceiling fans, Gitana del Mar does not have air conditioning. The rooms do not have televisions. Guests must be 12 years of age or older. Inclusions and amenities are subject to change without prior notice. Activities may come at an additional cost. Room sizes shown above are approximate.
