Hotel Description
Nestled in the jungle between Tayrona National Park and the entrance of the Lost City Trek, YAY sits on a river in the foot hills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta National Park, a stone’s throw from Colombia’s Caribbean Beaches.
Surrounded by nature, YAY opens the door to those who want to relax. Immerse yourself in the refreshing waters of the Guachaca River and enjoy the well-being offered by the foods of our plant-based, fusion Restaurant, the Jungle Spa and early morning yoga practice.
YAY’s incredible location enjoys a private beach on the banks of the Guachaca River, with wonderfully refreshing and clean, flowing water.
Surrounded by impressive mountainous jungle landscape, we are lucky to be so close to the Caribbean Sea and its lush beaches. YAY’s gardens are full of tropical plants, fruits and vegetables, as well as giant, century-old trees that protect the water and refresh the air.
Acommodation – inspired by the traditional round kogui homes combined with the beauty of Indonesian bamboo architecture.
