Why Casa Tunido? In short:

  • 100% pre-arrival check-in, 24/7 access to the house with digital codes – but happy to answer your questions online   
  • Affordable rates without compromising quality

  • Minimalistic design for a modern and serene atmosphere, spacious colonial house

Tunido is a modern and spacious house situated right behind Iglesia San Francisco, in the historic center of Santa Marta, Colombia’s oldest city. In 2017 we transformed an old colonial-style house to host up to 26 guests. Tunido is a place where comfort meets affordability. We created a relaxed atmosphere for travelers and digital nomads, a house where guests can share travel experiences. Our central location makes it the perfect base for exploring the area. Up to 2023 Tunido was a hostel, in 2024 became a casa. Check-in is 100% online pre-arrival and you will be able to open the main entrance with a digital code 24/7. 

Casa Tunido - your favourite nest

After hiking the Lost City Trek, a day trip to Tayrona or Minca, a wild night out in Santa Marta, a lazy day on the beach… we want you to have a good night sleep and a comfortable stay at Tunido! All our beds are super comfortable! 

You can get some work done in our co-working space if you still have energy left! Or just hang out in the hammocks. Tunido’s modern design will make you feel relaxed and at home.

Excellent host and staff – warm and knowledgeable. Ran by a young Belgian man who moved here years ago and decided to build this place up with care. I felt welcome as soon as I entered and til the moment I left. Though we have a multitude of comfortable options to stay here in Santa Marta, their hospitality (and the quiet seating areas with hammocks) quickly won me over.

Eins der besten Hostel, in denen ich in Kolumbien war. Es arbeiten da einfach ausschließlich mega nette und hilfsbereite Menschen. Alles sauber, wirklich sehr gutes Essen, auch vegane Optionen. Die Betten im Dorm sind sehr groß mit eigener Steckdose, Licht, Vorhang und eigenem, großen, abschließbaren Gepäckfach. Möglichkeit Gepäck unter zu stellen, wenn man z.B. nach Tayrona fährt und nicht als mitnehmen möchte. Würde ich jederzeit wieder hin fahren.
