Irotama Resort
Located on the serene beaches of Pozos Colorados, Irotama Resort is one of Santa Marta’s signature seaside properties—a classic Caribbean retreat that has welcomed travelers for decades. The resort’s wide beachfront, shaded gardens, and multiple pool areas create a relaxed environment ideal for slow mornings and easy afternoons.
With direct access to the sea and sweeping views of the coastline, Irotama works beautifully as a base for day trips to Tayrona and the Sierra Nevada. It’s especially appealing to travelers who enjoy a traditional resort-style stay with space, comfort, and the convenience of staying right on the sand.

Facing one of Santa Marta’s most peaceful beaches, the Marriott Resort blends contemporary style with a sense of quiet Caribbean ease. Days here revolve around unhurried mornings, shaded pools, and long stretches of soft sand framed by the Sierra Nevada in the distance. Service is consistent and refined, making it an ideal base for travelers who value comfort, familiar standards, and a restorative setting between excursions. A reliable choice for those seeking simplicity, relaxation, and beachfront serenity.

Set in the Bello Horizonte district—one of Santa Marta’s most pleasant coastal stretches—Mercure Santa Marta Emile blends contemporary design with the relaxed feel of a tropical escape. Rooms are bright and modern, many overlooking the mountains or the sea, and the pool area provides a perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring.
Its location, just minutes from both the airport and Santa Marta’s hotel zone, makes it a seamless base for excursions to Tayrona, Minca, or the city’s historic quarter. Mercure is an excellent choice for travelers who prefer clean lines, modern amenities, and predictability without sacrificing a sense of place.
