Premier Boutique Hotel in
Bahía Solano
Where the Jungle Meets the sea
About the lodge
Welcome to Black Sands Lodge, a secluded retreat where the jungle meets the sea and time takes a gentler pace.
Born in 2018 from the vision of passionate anglers and travelers, Black Sands has grown into an exclusive escape for those seeking adventure, serenity, and a refined connection to the wild beauty of Colombia’s northern Pacific coast.
Tucked within the heart of Bahía Solano, the lodge is surrounded by lush rainforest, untouched coastline, and the soothing rhythm of the Pacific. Black Sands is the only hotel in the region with a fully private beachfront, offering guests rare privacy and direct access to the ocean in one of the most remote and spectacular settings in Colombia.
Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, intimacy, and a true sense of place in this hidden corner of paradise.
The Rooms
The Lodge features twelve suites, including ten spacious suites equipped with double queen beds and two suites furnished with king-sized beds.
All rooms are fitted with air conditioning, walk-in closets, and fully appointed bathrooms with hot water in the showers. Each suite also offers a fully stocked minibar and a private deck, perfect for enjoying the ocean breeze.
Fine linens and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean come standard, with every room just steps away from the beach.

Our chef will surprise you daily with fresh ingredients representing the best flavors in the region, presented in a modern fashion and paired to perfection with a great selection of international wines.

Getting here
Nestled along the picturesque northern shores of the Colombian Pacific lies the captivating fishing town of Bahía Solano. Situated just 80 miles south of the Panamanian border, this hidden gem remains largely untouched by international tourism, preserving its wild beauty and authentic charm.
Despite its remote allure, reaching Bahía Solano is surprisingly convenient, with three daily flights connecting from Medellín—a well-connected hub with numerous international flight options. Upon arrival, your journey continues with a scenic 20-minute boat ride across the bay, delivering you straight to Black Sands Lodge.
Our lodge is uniquely located on the only private beach in the entire bay, offering an unmatched sense of seclusion and tranquility. From this privileged setting, you’ll have direct access to the region’s incredible biodiversity and a full spectrum of curated experiences—from world-class fishing and awe-inspiring whale watching to vibrant scuba diving and serene birdwatching excursions.
