Lodges in Minca

The views at Location 1 are definitely the highlight — they’re beautiful and perfect for relaxing or taking great photos.

Luis Daniel and the team are super friendly and it is the perfect place to switch off and relax. The huts were as advertised and beautifully designed. The sunset and the view was spectacular!

Very peaceful, lovely staff, quiet, nice animals, tasty and fresh breakfast, amazing view

Close to city centre, up the steep hill, nice view Terrace with nice view, electric kettle Being in the jungle

Wonderful stay in the jungle. We did a two hour hike up to the property which was really nice, but you can take the moto taxis. The place itself was fantastic and the staff were very friendly. It's in a nature reserve which you can walk around and visit.

Owner greeted us warmly. Very helpful and said we could leave our bags there if needed while trekking. Convenient to the start of the Tayrona NP from the Kalahazo entrance. Room was lovely with balcony off it with hammock. Definitely only take this room. Pool/ jacuzzi was cool and refreshing. Fan in the room was OK but nowhere near as good as AC. It was hot and this was in May. Bathroom lovely though if you were large in size you may have trouble getting into the shower? Walked to the shops a few hundred metres back to the road for dinner. Breakfast was lovely.

This is a lovely, private and safe property. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Providing fresh mangoes and tea. Also the pool area is really nice

It’s hard not to oversell this place as it’s so fantastic. If you want to pretend you’re Robinson Crusoe, stranded on one of the most beautiful beaches in Tayrona, this is the place. I picked this place because I wanted a swimmable beach inside the park. I didn’t want to have to walk to Cabo San Juan, which I’d heard is full of backpackers taking selfies. I wanted to step out of my room and into the sea. And that’s what I got here. Every morning I got a coffee from the bar (always a full urn freshly brewed) and enjoyed it on some driftwood on the beach, before taking a dip. Usually Tinto, the resident doggy, would sit with me watch the waves. Things to do: relax in the beach, relax on a swing on the beach, relax in one of the daybeds on the beach, relax with a cocktail on some cushions on the beach, relax in your room. Read, swim, sunbathe, watch the birds, play with the cats. This place isn’t a Maldives resort where they remove bugs from the sand using tweezers and a haute cuisine dinner is served every night. Amongst the makeshift luxury, it’s still basic. (However, the food is hearty and plentiful.) And that’s what makes it so unique. You’re really in nature. There’s lizards and crabs crawling about everywhere (the bugs are there too but they’re not nearly as bad as some of the reviews suggest). Every so often a great wave of insect or lizard song (I could never work out what it was) drowns out the sound of the waves lapping on the shore, and then dies down 10 seconds later. Take a kayak out into the bay. The water is calm and it’s an easy little paddle. Then just sit there and watch the birds, take in the view of the jungle towering over the beach, or enjoy the show the sunset puts on every night. If you’re really lucky you’ll get a thunderstorm as you climb into bed. And the staff are just lovely. A real gang of castaways keeping the place in running order.
