If you’re a true design lover...
Stay and read this blog carefully, because we’re bringing you six hidden gems that few people know — and that you’ll definitely want to add to your next travel list.
Three in Colombia and three in Mexico, handpicked with CAOBA’s signature sensibility, inviting you to explore what lies beyond the obvious: the soul hidden behind design, nature, and authentic experiences.
Traveling, Differently
Since day one, that has been our purpose: to create stays that reconnect you with what truly matters. We’re not here to fill the map, but to discover the quiet corners — the ones that make you pause, breathe, and look around.
CAOBA was born to gather these unique spaces on a single platform, where direct booking becomes a natural extension of the connection between traveler and host.
Because we believe in what’s genuine, artisanal, and independent. If you’ve read our last blog, you already know why direct bookings are the future of authentic and sustainable hospitality.
Colombia: A Land Still Waiting to Be Explored
Colombia is in full bloom.
It still hides secrets beneath its endless green — in breathing jungles and whispering seas.
There, along untrodden paths and among communities that preserve their essence, new accommodations are redefining luxury: the luxury of being at peace.
1. Arde la Selva
Just a few kilometres from the historic town of Santa Fé de Antioquia, nestled in a unique biogeographical zone, this retreat is an ode to fire and life.
Its architecture blends seamlessly with the jungle, inviting you to reconnect with the earth and the sounds of the tropical forest.
Here, every sunrise feels like a living painting — the sun igniting the greens, the songs of birds found nowhere else, and the deep sense of being exactly where you’re meant to be.
2. La Pausa Hotel Bistro
Located in the heart of the Guatapé Reservoir, in El Peñol, this place is a tribute to time itself.
Designed so every detail inspires calm, La Pausa combines the elegance of contemporary design with rustic warmth.
Its signature cuisine draws from local ingredients and honest conversations.
This is not a place to simply sleep — it’s a place to breathe slowly.
3. Isla Fuerte Ecohouse
A sustainable paradise surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.
Isla Fuerte Ecohouse is a blue-and-green dream where the ocean breeze and island rhythm accompany you throughout the day.

Every corner is crafted to let the mind unwind and the soul exhale.
Perfect for travelers looking for an intimate connection with their surroundings, without giving up comfort.
6. Cholula Condesa

Here, travel becomes a sensorial experience — art, gastronomy, and community merge in a single space.
One Shared Philosophy
Every property within CAOBA follows one essential principle:
“To design experiences that awaken emotion, honor the environment, and celebrate authenticity.”
Because traveling isn’t just about moving from one place to another — it’s about finding yourself, in the world, in others, and within.
