Eco Hotel Punta Arrecife

Capurganá & Sapzurro


Built beside a reef at the edge of the village, this wonderful place is set in an alluringly unkempt garden and presided over by Rubén and Myriam, two charming recluses from the modern world. They host guests in color-themed, cabin-like rooms that are crafted from wood and full of tasteful arts and crafts.

The owners grow much of their own food here, and they encourage guests to disconnect as much as possible.

It's not the easiest place to find: follow the concrete walkway at the eastern end of Sapzurro beach and enter via a small, hard-to-spot gate. A little beyond the hotel toward Panama is another, quieter beach at Cabo Tiburón where there's a small beach-shack bar and good snorkeling.

The owners can help arrange transport from Capurganá or Acandí.
