For kitesurf lovers, paradise has been in Santa Verónica, Atlántico, for 13 years, right next to Salinas del Rey on the Greater Colombian Caribbean coast. Guacamaya Kite Lodges aims to provide you with a unique experience during your stay, attending to your needs and preferences in a personalized manner. No wonder this hotel has become a favorite among both professionals and beginners who seek excitement on the waves (thanks to favorable winds between December and April), as well as relaxation and rejuvenation in nature.
Guacamaya Kite Lodges stands out among the hotels in the area for the support it offers in organizing your entire trip, including transfers, courses, and custom equipment rentals. After a day of adventure on the beach in front of the hotel, enjoy treatments and massages by a certified therapist or take a yoga, Zumba, or aqua Zumba class. End the day in the best way by savoring a dinner prepared by five-star chefs, providing all the comfort you need after an exciting day.
Just 35 minutes from Cartagena and 50 minutes from Barranquilla by car, you'll find the perfect retreat to escape the routine and reconnect with yourself in an environment designed for your well-being. At Eco Xata, they'll offer the perfect balance between luxury and excitement: from rooms designed to provide privacy and comfort to couples or groups of friends, to spaces like the Xata Beach Club, where you can experience true beach paradise and enjoy activities like kitesurfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or cycling.
This exclusive spot features a spa using organic, locally sourced ingredients for your physical and spiritual well-being. After a morning in the Caribbean waters and a relaxing massage, exfoliation, or mud therapy session, you can't miss the exquisite aromas of the cuisine of the Greater Caribbean. The hotel's restaurant offers a refreshed vision capturing the essence of the region, aiming to delight you with its flavors.
Near Lake Calima, Valle del Cauca, one of the largest reservoirs in the Americas, you'll find one of the most prominent hotels you must visit if you're a kitesurf enthusiast or want to start learning. Zhaberara Lodge was born from a couple's love for the sport and design, resulting in a hotel with eight lodge-style spaces tailored to your preferences. Here, you'll find all the comfort and ancestral energy that will allow you to experience both adventure and relaxation with comfort.
The hotel features spaces for working, relaxing, or even practicing yoga with views of the reservoir. After a day of kitesurfing at Lake Calima, enjoy a revitalizing massage or taste delicious dishes prepared with fresh, local ingredients to complement your stay. It is located near the Pescao Kite Surf Water Sports School, which has been connecting people with their passion for extreme sports for 27 years. They offer courses with the necessary equipment and instructors for all levels.
On the shores of Lake Calima, just two hours from Cali and one from Buga, you'll find a hotel, restaurant, and surf school that is part of the Ecotourism Center for Nautical Activities, providing a haven for kitesurf enthusiasts. Club Cean Lago Calima offers a complete experience that includes comfortable rooms and excitement on the water, whether you practice kitesurfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, or take a sailing trip on the reservoir. The hotel is pet-friendly, so you can make new memories on the water with your furry best friend.
The area around the hotel is ideal for hiking and appreciating the nature around the reservoir, with panoramic views that become starry skies at night. Club Cean has also become the ideal spot for gatherings of sports enthusiasts who want to test their skills, as seen in the Calina Cean National Cup 2024, a kitesurf competition endorsed by the Colombian Sailing Federation.
