A statement hotel embracing the harmonious intersection of adventure and relaxation. Gitana Del Mar Beach Retreat lies in Buritaca on the stunning Caribbean coast, where the Sierra Nevada Mountains meet the pristine shoreline. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with the gentle sounds of waves and the sight of swaying palm trees framing rustic yet elegant bungalows. The lobby's design captivates with its seamless blending of wood, stone, and art pieces reflecting the indigenous heritage of the area. Guests are often enchanted by the signature Koralia Bar, just a sandy stroll down the beach, but the allure of the property doesn't stop there. The nearby saltwater pool invites guests to cool off while lush greenery wraps this eco-chic retreat, creating a blend of leisure and adventure that ensures every moment is profound. Each dining experience is curated to be unique, drawing on local ingredients infused with innovation, allowing the kitchen to cater to every palate. Evening gatherings by the fire pit become a ritual, where stories are shared under the stars, and the ocean lulls you to sleep, creating a perfect ending to another day in paradise.

Explore the Local Area

The retreat is ideally situated just 65 km from Simon Bolivar International Airport, a scenic drive that winds through breathtaking landscapes. It also serves as a gateway to Parque Nacional Tayrona, known for its lush jungles and pristine beaches, and the renowned Ciudad Perdida hike, Colombia's 'lost city' lying deep within the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Nearby attractions, including the impressive Taironaka Ecological Tourism (4.5 km away) and the dramatic waterfalls at Quebrada Valencia, offer a myriad of exploration opportunities. Guests can engage in waterfall hikes, river floating in inner tubes, or tranquil visits to indigenous villages. The laidback atmosphere encourages guests to wander barefoot along Playa Buritaca (2.5 km away), where they can sip cocktails and connect with the rhythm of nature.
