Nestled in the heart of Cartagena’s bustling Old City in an old 17th Century mansion you could easily walk straight past Amarla, one of the city’s most exciting (and still relatively unknown) new hotels. Unassuming from the street, aside from the tasteful palm tree sign, Amarla is an oasis of calm on Calle Ayos and the ideal base for a weekend of exploring Cartagena’s historic streets.

Nestled in Fredonia, Antioquia - just an hour away from Medellin - Hacienda La Sierra is a tranquil retreat, ideal to unwind and soak in the Colombian Coffee culture.  The hotel is surrounded by the natural wonders of the country, offering with views of extinct volcanoes, the sounds and sights of birds, colorful butterflies and the sweet smell of tropical fruits.
