Eco Hotel in Palomino, La Guajira

 On the idyllic beaches of Palomino, La Guajira, lies a place where nature and tranquility unite in perfect harmony. Aité, which means "love" in Wayuunaiki and "a place to rest" in the Kogui and Arhuaca languages, is more than just a destination: it's an exclusive beachfront eco-resort designed to reconnect you with what's essential, promote well-being, and connect you with the natural environment.

The place
Private beach in Palomino facing the Caribbean Sea


Where the sea and the mountains meet

 We are the only resort in Palomino with 200 meters of private beach, a seaside sanctuary where each cabana has its own space, offering you the privacy and serenity you deserve. Here, the sound of the waves sets the rhythm of the days, the warm breeze caresses every moment, and every barefoot step is an invitation to feel freedom.

ECO RESORT

Hotel facing the Caribbean Sea and the Sierra Nevada

The beaches of Palomino are a sanctuary of natural beauty. The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta rises majestically above the turquoise sea, and palm trees sway gracefully over the golden sand. At dawn, the mountain's icy peaks are reflected in the waters of the San Salvador River, while the Caribbean Sea whispers its lullaby under the first rays of the sun. Here, turtles nest on the shore, and macaws greet the day.


That is the essence of Aité: the perfect fusion between the natural luxury of the beach and the grandeur of the mountain.
