Characterful villas, diverse 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 have put it better, which is why we take huge pride in having access to a very exclusive portfolio of Colombia’s finest private homes.
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.
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.
Coco Island, Colombia
Our collection of luxury villas in Colombia is spread out across six of the country’s most special regions, each with its distinct landscape, energy and culture.
There’s colourful Cartagena with its walled city and Spanish-era architecture, the tropical paradise of Barú & The Rosario Islands and the coffee country of Quindío. Moreover, there’s spectacular mountain scenery in Antioquia and relaxed riverside stays in Honda and Barichara.
Settle into one place or let us help you plan a multi-stop itinerary taking in the best of this incredible country.
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 Caribbean port city. Cartagena de Indias offers history, art and literature alongside beguiling beaches on the nearby Rosario Islands and an effervescent city centre with UNESCO World Heritage status. There’s a thriving art scene that encompasses galleries, museums and superlative street art. Plus, epic restaurants, particularly in up-and-coming Getsemaní, and unmissable cultural events and tours every month. This is a destination worth lingering in and one many find they can’t stop coming back to.
A tropical paradise located less than an hour from Cartagena, these islands provide the perfect foil to the hustle and bustle of life in the city and deserve an extended stay of their own. One of 46 natural parks of Colombia, this archipelago protects one of the most important coral reefs of the Colombian Caribbean coast. Here life revolves around the ocean whether it’s yoga on the beach, snorkelling off a boat or a long seafood lunch at one of our luxury beachside villas.
Making up one third of the country’s UNESCO Coffee Cultural Landscape, this is the beating heart of rural Colombia where lush green valleys lead to misty, snow-capped mountains and sherbet houses and candy-stripe churches sit alongside salsa-playing coffee shops. A destination for restorative stays, it makes sense to enjoy this wild paradise with a farmstay, and we have one very special rural property here.
Sliced in two by the serpentine flow of the Magdalena River, Honda is an under-the-radar stay conveniently located between Medellín and Bogotá. Historically the most important trade centre in the country, narrow cobbled streets are lined with pastel Colonial-era buildings and more than 40 bridges criss-cross the river. Honda moves at a quiet pace and a luxury villa here is the ideal way to truly embrace this riverside rhythm.
In this province, the dramatic mountain countryside meets one of Colombia’s most dynamic cities, Medellín. Our selection of luxury villas in Antioquia immerse you in the region’s serene countryside with its green Andean peaks, towering waterfalls and coffee-covered hills. There’s wildlife all around, spectacular hiking, horseback riding and kayaking, plus the option to dip into Medellín’s progressive culture and gastronomy scene whenever it calls.
High up in the Andean foothills and overlooking a dramatic river canyon, there is a reason Barichara is often referred to as one of Colombia’s prettiest towns. Almost frozen in time, here cobbled streets are lined with low-rise whitewashed houses topped and craft workshops are found on every corner. Barichara invites visitors to slow down and settle into its gentle pace and days here are spent visiting local artisans, enjoying the excellent food scene and heading into the canyon for hikes.
In Colombia, experiences unfold through nature, food and culture whether it’s horseback riding through coffee plantations, joining an artisan workshop in Barichara or sailing to white sand beaches off Cartagena.
Whether it’s the colonial streets of Cartagena and the turquoise waters of Isla Barú or the coffee-covered hills of Quindío, the historic river town of Honda, hilltop Barichara, and the vibrant culture of Antioquia, our team helps you move seamlessly across Colombia’s most captivating regions.
We have hand-selected a small collection of remarkable properties across six very special destinations in Colombia.
Our Colombia portfolio includes exquisitely restored centuries-old townhouses in Cartagena, modern beachfront retreats on Isla Barú, countryside estates in Quindío and Antioquia and spectacular riverside homes in Honda.
Each of these properties has been chosen for its location, sense of space and privacy as well as its design sensibilities, ample outdoor space and use of local materials.
Casa Trinidad, Cartagena
Have a closer look at our Colombia finds across six of the country’s most compelling regions.
Colombia is known for its diverse landscapes with its popular regions spanning snow-capped Andean peaks, lush coffee country and a spectacular coastline along the Caribbean Sea. Famed for its energetic cities, most notably Bogota, Medellín and Cartagena, it has an ever-evolving culture, design and gastronomy scene.
Colombia is a year-round destination thanks to its equatorial location. December to March is the most popular time to visit as this is when the country has the driest weather. However, April to November bring their own benefits with fewer crowds and lush green landscapes.
If you are travelling from Europe, at least a week is recommended based on the travel time and time difference. If you are coming from North America, a shorter trip of four or five days is worth it. Colombia is large and to really explore a number of popular destinations, a two or three week trip is advisable.
An ideal first time trip would take in a variety of Colombia’s distinct landscapes. This could include colourful Cartagena and Colombia’s Caribbean coast which is just a stone’s throw away before exploring Medellín and the rural landscapes of Antioquia and the coffee country in Quindío. Breaking up an itinerary with downtime in Honda or Barichara is always a good idea.
Colombia offers rich cultural heritage, dramatic settings and some truly special villa properties complete with terraces, pools and ample space to relax. Colombia is not a typical holiday but the perfect place for an immersion into a different culture as well as an adventure of a lifetime.
