StayBalcón del Infinito„A wonderful stay overall, with the building’s facilities, the apartment being perfect for the group we were, and the close access to the beach and the shopping…”Santa Marta is one of the oldest cities in Colombia, set on the Caribbean coast with the Sierra Nevada range as a backdrop. It blends a colonial old town with beaches and a base for trips to Tayrona National Park, where wild bays such as La Piscina await. In the centre you will find the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, an estate linked to Simón Bolívar, and the old Customs House. The climate is Caribbean, with the most sunshine in the dry season from December to April. Guests usually stay around four nights, combining the city with trips to the sea and the mountains. This list has 1 450 properties, from a hostel bed to a beach resort. Below is what really drives the price of a stay in Santa Marta: the month and day of arrival, the choice of district and the standard of the property.
The cheapest month is September, off season, when tourist traffic eases. The most expensive is December, at the peak of the dry season and the holidays, when crowds head for the beaches. The day of the week matters too: Monday is usually the cheapest, while Thursday is the priciest, as long weekends begin. For specific dates it pays to book ahead, about two and a half months in advance, since the lowest rates tend to appear around seventy-six days before arrival.
Santa Marta is affordable, with a range from a cheap hostel and guesthouse to a beach resort. Hostel beds and simple two-star rooms are the cheapest, and rates rise with the standard and proximity to the beach. Below are rough nightly rates for two people.
| Property type | Indicative price per night (from) |
|---|---|
| Hostel or cheap guesthouse | from approx. COP 52,000 |
| 2-star hotel | from approx. COP 100,000 |
| 3-star hotel | from approx. COP 207,000 |
| 5-star hotel | from approx. COP 262,000 |

The most popular area is El Rodadero, a seaside district with a beach and hotels that Booking marks as the favourite, with a location score of 8.7. Pozo Colorado scores highest at 9.1, while atmospheric stays sit in the Centro Histórico at 8.8, close to colonial streets and restaurants. It is quieter and often cheaper in the fishing village of Taganga and a little away from the beach, and cheapest in simple hostels and guesthouses near the centre. The closer to the sea and the higher the standard, the higher the price. If price matters, choose a stay further from the beach or a date outside December.
From a hostel bed to a beach resort, a few Santa Marta addresses with a from price. This is only a starting point, because in December and in season rates can jump noticeably.

From prices, for a double room. In Santa Marta the rate of the same hotel in September and at the December peak can differ noticeably, so check your specific dates in the search box.
The most expensive times are December and January, at the peak of the dry season and the holidays, when the El Rodadero beaches are full. It also gets pricey around Easter and in late April, when the Festival de la Leyenda Vallenata takes place, and in July during the Fiesta del Mar. The cheapest and quietest time is September, along with October and November, off peak. The whole dry season, December to April, is good for the beach, but if price matters, aim for the months outside the holidays and big events.
September is the cheapest, off season. December is the most expensive, at the peak of the dry season and the holidays, when crowds head for the beaches. The gap between months can be clear.
Monday is usually the cheapest. You will pay the most on Thursday, as long weekends to the coast begin. The gap between these days can be noticeable.
It is best to book about two and a half months ahead. The lowest rates usually appear around seventy-six days before arrival, especially if you aim for dates outside December.
It is cheaper in the fishing village of Taganga and a little away from the beach, and in simple hostels near the centre. The highest prices are in seaside El Rodadero and close to the beach, where there are the most rooms.
Most convenient in El Rodadero, right by the beach, and in the colonial Centro Histórico, close to restaurants and the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino. Both areas make a good base for trips to Tayrona National Park.
Guests usually stay around four nights, because many combine the city with trips to the sea and to Tayrona. Two days are enough to see the old town, but the beaches and the park encourage a longer stay.
