Riverside living and design-led villas in one of Colombia’s most historic towns.
The magic of Honda lies in slowing down. Located between the energetic cities of Bogotá and Medellín, the picturesque town of Honda is a natural pause on a Colombia adventure.
Built around the mythical Magdalena River and historically the most important trade centre in the country, here, narrow cobbled streets are lined with pastel Colonial-era buildings and more than 40 bridges criss-cross the river.
This unhurried town is best experienced in a villa and we have one very special property here, Casa De Las Aguas.
Casa de las Aguas, Honda
After time spent in Colombia’s buzzy cities, the best itineraries are broken up with some downtime. Honda moves at a quiet pace and a luxury villa holiday here is the ideal way to truly embrace this riverside rhythm.
Our one and only Honda property, Casa De Las Aguas, is the type you build a whole itinerary around. It is an architectural wonder that is hard to tear yourself away from, with private pools, sunlit courtyards and terraces for dining under the stars.
In Honda, days revolve around morning strolls through the pretty old town and sunset trips down the river with plenty of time at the villa to enjoy long lunches by the pool and unhurried candlelit dinners.
Honda’s historic streets and 40 bridges sit where the Río Magdalena once carried Colombia’s trade to the coast. Our team helps you uncover its history and slower riverside rhythm.
At Maven, we have made a deliberate choice to keep our portfolio of vacation homes small and we have carefully curated a collection of luxury rentals that we feel are really special. We have just one villa in Honda, Casa De Las Aguas, and it is truly unique.
This enchanting property has a completely open design with no doors or windows, creating a wonderful sense of airiness throughout and a seamless connection between its indoor and outdoor spaces.
Surrounded by tropical trees and foliage and sleeping up to ten guests, there are two swimming pools, ample tranquil terraces and spacious double-height living areas. It is a house you really could never leave and you don’t need to thanks to the daily maid and breakfast service plus an in-house chef.

Honda is a destination ideal for slowing down. Thanks to its location between Bogotá and Medellín, it offers great respite between Colombia’s big cities and if you have been searching for, or perhaps dreaming of, somewhere to rest, Honda is it. This less-visited town on the banks of the Magdalena River was historically the most important trade route in the country and is known for its cobbled streets and Colonial-era buildings.
Honda is a three to four hour drive from Bogotá and six-eight hour drive from Medellín. We can help plan private transfers between Honda and both Bogotá and Medellín as well as destinations across Colombia.
This small town calls you to do less. The unforgettable experiences here are more about soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the slow pace than ticking off sights and activities. It is lovely to wander the old town with its Colonial-era architecture stopping by the picturesque street of Calle de las Trampas and crossing the many bridges. Meanwhile, you can also take a boat trip down the river or stop by the market for local produce.
Yes, Honda is suitable for vacations for both families and groups of friends. The relaxed location suits both multi-generational trips or group holidays. Choosing a luxury villa is the most comfortable option for families or groups with plenty of space for guests to spread out and come together in privacy. At our Honda find, Casa De Las Aguas, there are five bedrooms, open doors and private swimming pools.
