Bahía Taganga Hotel  

Perched on the Taganga hillside with sweeping views of Santa Marta Bay, about 15–20 minutes from downtown Santa Marta and a short walk to Taganga Beach. A quick drive lands you near Parque de los Novios, Grande Beach and within reach of Tayrona National Natural Park.

This beach hotel has 32 air-conditioned rooms with cable TV, safes, blackout drapes and complimentary toiletries.

Rooms are roomy and modern, ideal for families or couples seeking calm and a bay backdrop.

Swim in an outdoor pool with bay views, soak in the jacuzzi or lounge on the sundeck for sun and sea-breeze mornings. Enjoy onsite massages, a spa area, a diving club and a playroom for kids; concierge and tour assistance help you explore Tayrona Park and nearby beaches. Shuttle and airport transfers are available for a surcharge.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout the property and a 24-hour front desk keep things smooth for working travelers.

Dine at Bahnga, the beachfront restaurant serving Colombian, regional and international dishes, grab a drink at the bar or order room service. A complimentary breakfast is included to kickstart beach days.
