ESSENCE OF THE CARIBBEAN PERVADES
The essence of the Caribbean pervades La Casa del Agua; from the warm welcome to the sensation that you’re staying in a fine residence rather than a hotel.
Set in an original Samarian house, surrounded by the old colonial buildings of Santa Marta, La Casa del Agua retains much of the flavour and relaxed luxury of the old Caribbean way of life. It’s the sort of place that encourages you to feel at home as an honoured guest or friend of the family, rather than a visitor to a hotel. The dining room, for example, has an open kitchen that invites you to meet the chefs, talk to them about your favourite dishes and even steal some of their ideas! Similarly, if you make La Casa part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Colombia, you’ll find the upper terrace is a great place to socialise with new-found friends over cocktails, whilst admiring the view.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
