YAY Sustainable

Santa Marta, Colombia

YAY Sustainable, a hotel and retreat center, blends the soul of Colombia’s Indigenous heritage with an organic, refined design that conveys serenity in every detail. Surrounded by tropical gardens, the gentle flow of the Guachaca River, and a natural pool, it invites travelers to pause, reconnect, and rediscover the earth’s essential rhythm.

Each structure is a testament to bioconstruction, crafted with guadua bamboo, local palm, and adobe—timeless materials that honor both the environment and tradition. Our yoga shala becomes a space where practice deepens, guiding guests toward calm, clarity, and connection with themselves and with nature.

YAY’s culinary philosophy celebrates farm-to-table living, using ingredients from our own garden or local farmers to create dishes that nourish body and soul. Between yoga sessions, holistic treatments at the Jungle Spa, dips in the natural pool, or walks along the beach and river, visitors are immersed in a landscape that feels both ancient and full of life.

The architecture of YAY Glamping merges ancestral wisdom with modern eco-design. Inspired by the traditional Kogui round houses and the elegant lines of Indonesian bamboo architecture, each structure is handcrafted using local guadua bamboo, adobe walls, and palm-thatched roofs. This organic architecture not only minimises environmental impact but also harmonizes with the surrounding jungle, allowing the property to breathe as one with nature.
