A collection of characterful villas, rich landscapes and insider travel experiences across Colombia’s most compelling regions.
The late, great travel and food writer Anthony Bourdain once said that ‘it’s ludicrous that a country as incredible as Colombia exists, without everyone clamouring to live there.’ Here at Maven, we couldn’t nail it better, which is why we take huge pride in having access to a very exclusive portfolio of Colombia’s finest private homes. But first – let’s get this straight. Colombia isn’t a holiday. Colombia isn’t a cliché or a tick box or cruise stop or a vay-cay. Colombia is a life-changing, soul-stirring, mind-expanding destination that’ll wake you and shake you to your core. Colombia is ripe, it is visceral, it’s a vibrant, verdant, luscious and liberating escape for those with open hearts and adventurous minds. If we were the kind of people who used the phrase ‘trip of a lifetime’ (we’re not, btw), then this is where we’d use it. We’d love to show you all we know, and if that means an extended stay in two, three or more properties, we’ll build a bespoke itinerary around your journey.
The Rosario Islands, April 2024
With its jewel-box colonial architecture, old-world atmosphere and packed festival schedule, it’s borderline impossible not to fall for the myriad charms of Colombia’s sultry Caribbean port city. Cartagena offers a perfectly measured dose of history, art and literature alongside beguiling beaches and an effervescent city centre with Unesco World Heritage status. There’s a thriving art scene that encompasses galleries, museums and superlative street art; epic restaurants – particularly in up-and-coming Getsemani – and unmissable cultural events and tours every month.
Every visit to Cartagena should include a trip to the nearby Rosario Islands or penisula of Isla Barú. A tropical paradise located less than an hour from the city, this archipelago is one of 46 natural parks of Colombia, protecting one of the most important coral reefs of the Colombian Caribbean coast. Isla Barú is the ultimate jungle-meets-beach escape, where crystal clear waters, yoga and kayaking provide the perfect foil to the hustle and bustle of life in Cartagena’s colonial centre. Our property there Casa Ceiba features the island’s only private beach and is fully serviced with chef to offer the ultimate barefoot luxury retreat.
Located in the heart of the coffee region, Quindío is famous for breathtaking landscapes, lush green mountains, and a rich cultural heritage. Visitors can explore the charming towns of Salento and Filandia, known for their colourful architecture and cobblestone streets. The region is also home to the stunning Cocora Valley, where you can hike amidst towering wax palms, the national tree of Colombia. Quindío is a coffee lover’s paradise, with countless coffee farms offering tours and tastings. We can organise guided tours, stunning hiking trails, and unforgettable pony trekking in one of the world’s most stunning destinations.
Sliced in two by the serpentine flow of the Magdalena river that cuts through its core, Honda is an off-grid escape ideally located between Medellín and Bogotá. Once part of an important trade route, today it’s an essential stop-off for adrenalin seekers and those on the hunt for a sojourn with bundles of authentic, local appeal wrapped up in a delightfully alluring microclimate. Get to know the thrilling contours of the landscape through activities like trekking, mountain biking or paragliding. Or take a gentle stroll through the village, followed by a long, leisurely lunch with loved ones.
Medellín is a city of transformation, where lush green mountains meet innovative urban design, creating a vibrant, forward-thinking destination. With its year-round springlike climate, dynamic cultural scene, and welcoming energy, it’s the perfect place to experience a blend of modern creativity and deep-rooted traditions. Plus, its central location makes it an ideal starting point for exploring Colombia, from the coffee region’s rolling hills to the Caribbean’s sun-drenched beaches.
Our extraordinary Colombia properties uphold the country’s history, heritage, and spirit of adventure—all are remarkable private residences, many previously unavailable to rent—while fusing time-honoured traditions with a cool and contemporary take on service, luxury, and cuisine.
