About us
We are an Eco Hostel and Retreat Center located on a peaceful and relaxing semi-private Caribbean beachfront property of approximately 7.5 acres that is part of a coconut plantation. Nested in the foothills of La Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (the tallest coastal mountain range on earth) home to some of the most isolated indigenous tribes in the world such as the Arawaks and the Kogis.
The property has its own beach as well as rivers on both sides. We have papaya, mango , tangerine, guanabana, orange and plantain trees on the property as well as many others. There are quite a few National Parks in the region and the area has been designated as a World Biosphere Reserve..
Standing in the middle of the property and facing inland you will see the great snow peaks of La Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Turn around and you are looking out at an endless horizon of emerald green Caribbean water.
Day trips could include visits to numerous archaeological ruins/sites and indigenous tribes. Recreational activities include hiking, kayaking, tubing, yoga and dance, horseback riding, bird watching, etc..
As an Eco Hostel we take the roll of 'keepers of the land' meaning we honour it and help take care of it. We are working on reforesting areas of this property, sustainable agriculture and waste management. The water on the property comes from a clean well, making it drinkable for travellers. We ask our guests to use the water conservatively as it is a very precious resource. La Sirena employs local staff, guides and artisans with the intention of fair trade. We are also involved in education, arts, and environmental community projects.
We believe in good vibe tourism, meaning sharing what makes you unique and what you have learned along your journey. Artistic expressions are welcome in this space for creativity and expansion.
The temperature all year round rarely fluctuates from 30C daily to 22C at night.
