Choibana

Top choice


Set on a hillside overlooking a private beach backed by thick jungle, this atmospheric wooden lodge is a great place to take it easy. It has just three rooms – all with private bathrooms – and a porch hung with hammocks offering views across the bay to Playa Mecana. Plenty of space, nature and tranquillity.

It is located on the other side of the headland at the far end of Playa Huína. During low tide it's possible to walk to the village. Transportation from Bahía Solano is COP$30,000 for up to three visitors.
