5 Plans to Enjoy in Santa Marta Less Than 30 Minutes from the Hotel
Discover 5 must-do activities in Santa Marta, all less than 30 minutes away from your GEH Suites hotel. Beaches, culture, and nature right at your doorstep.
1. El Rodadero Beach: Sun and Sea Just Steps Away
Just minutes from several of our hotels in Santa Marta, El Rodadero is one of Colombia’s most popular beaches. Here you can swim in calm waters, enjoy water sports such as kayaking or jet skiing, and taste fresh fish at beachfront restaurants.
GEH Suites Tip: Enjoy a sunset by the sea with a cold drink to end your day in the best way.
2. Visit the Aquarium and Sea Museum
Located in Gaira Bay, the Aquarium and Sea Museum is a perfect plan for families and marine life lovers. Accessible by boat from El Rodadero, you’ll be able to see marine species like dolphins, sharks, and turtles, while learning about the Caribbean’s biodiversity.
Travel time from the hotel: 15 minutes by boat.
3. Tour of Santa Marta’s Historic Center
Just 20 minutes away by car, the Historic Center invites you to walk among colonial streets, discover iconic squares like Parque de los Novios, and visit the Cathedral Basilica — the oldest in Colombia. You’ll also find a wide variety of gastronomic and cultural offerings.
4. Playa Blanca: Fine Sand and Crystal-Clear Waters
From El Rodadero, you can reach Playa Blanca in just 10 minutes by boat. This paradise of transparent waters and white sand is perfect for disconnecting and sunbathing in a quieter atmosphere than urban beaches.
GEH Suites Tip: Arrive early to get a good spot and make the most of your day.
5. Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino
