Playa Bonita
Where the Sierra Nevada whispers to the Caribbean Sea, Playa Bonita offers a threshold between worlds. Ancient waterways and indigenous wisdom create a living sanctuary where presence becomes remembrance and simplicity reveals the extraordinary.
Sierra Nevada, Colombia
Playa Bonita
Just 20 minutes from Tayrona National Natural Park, this unique space sits on territory of profound importance to the Kogui community, ancestral guardians of these lands. The sanctuary is traversed by the “Madre Vieja”—a sacred body of water that carries the living memory of the land—creating a rare opportunity for deep ecological connection.
Along 500 meters of pristine shoreline, 13 bioconstruction cabins and communal spaces emerge from the landscape, each element carefully integrated with minimal intervention. A yoga shala overlooking the Caribbean, beachfront gathering areas, and an organic garden that supplies our kitchen form the core of this coastal sanctuary.
