Beach Hotels in Minca

Perfectly located! Super clean, super equipped kitchen, it rather feels like being in a private air bnb as there were not many guests around.

Central location Friendly personal Clean Quite Perfect for a couple of nights

The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff were so helpful. The view and sunset very worth it. We didn’t want to leave the pool. Kids loved it too!! The service provided at the front desk was exceptional, especially the team organising tours.

I absolutely loved all the activities. The salsa class was so good! It was nice to relax at the pool when it was too hot to do anything else. The rooms were nice and clean. The staff was helpful and ready to help with anything. They turned the AC up/down on request. They also gave me an additional blanket free of charge.

Best location around Santa Marta. Amazing place by the beach. Good variety of food for fair price. The staff are just amazing and make you feel as a family. Very helpful with the host but also with people around town. We did a charity event for feed the poor around Santa Marta organised by the hostel is was just amazing. I just recommend this place for anyone.

Everything was exceptional. First of all the staff should be mentioned because they all gave a great service. The garden, beach, the pools all was magnificent. I can only think positive about Irotama.

Liked the staff and all the facilities. Very clean and tidy and very helpful.

Clean, friendly staff, good breakfast

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
