Best hotels in Tayrona National Park

On the northern coast of Colombia, there's a secret, serene corner where the river meets the ocean and it's right here that you'll find the Villa Playa Tayrona. Just five minutes away from the entrance to Tayrona National Park, the seaside escape has the best of all worlds. We're talking a private stretch of Caribbean shore, epic hikes into the forest and river adventures — and much more! This is the kind of place where you can be as active or idle as you like, the latter of which takes the form of a hammock swaying gently beneath the palms.

Set amongst the palms on a stretch of powder-fine sand, Cayena is a laidback getaway on the Caribbean Coast. Spend your days enjoying massages as butterflies float just metres away, go for long, lingering strolls on the beach (meander down the coast to other sunspots a little further away), or venture into the nearby Tayrona National Park to explore its trails. The hotel has a breezy, tropical feel with a 22-metre-long pool at the centre – the perfect place to spend many happy hours with something chilled in hand.
