Frana Lodge — Hotel in Magdalena

We had an amazing time with Franz & Anni. They are really great hosts and take good care of you with lovely food and tips for anything you need.

The lodge is in mid of nature, so expect to wake up with birds chirping around or howler monkeys passing through. There is a lovely river next by which you can use for a refreshing dip when it’s getting too hot. Their dog Rambo will show you the way if you need guidance 😍

It is a 15mins walk from the street, but the staff doesn’t hesitate to help you with your luggage. You need to cross one riverbed, so come prepared with flip flops ;) Tayrona entrance La Zaina is a 30mins walk away.

There is free water refill and hot shower (although you most likely won’t need it since it’s really nice to refresh). Laundry service also possible.

We would always love to come back to this tranquil place. Thanks for...

We spent several weeks in the Tayrona region and visited various hostels. All had their charm, pros and contras.

However, this hotel blew us away. In the middle of the tropical forest, a bit of luxury. The rooms and also the common areas are very clean and there is even hot water! The hosts are super friendly and take care of everything. We felt right at home and had an excellent time relaxing throughout our stay. Also the breakfast and the other prepared meals were always a pleasure. Combined with the breathtaking view simply unbeatable.

To reach the hotel you have to walk about 15-20 minutes, as with all hostels in the forest. However, this gives a bit of adventure feeling and all the more you can look forward to the wellness oasis.

We will...

As Franz would say, extraordinary! The way to the lodge is the first highlight. It goes through the jungle and across 2 rivers. The rooms are spacious and very clean. You really feel like you're sleeping in the jungle. It's the perfect place for people looking for peace and quiet. For us it really was a unique experience in the middle of nature. It's only about 20 minutes to Tyron National Park. Franz and Ani are very helpful and help with everything. We felt very comfortable and welcome. The staff are all very nice and the food was very good. A big plus was the massage that Franz organised after our hike in the national park. These 2 nights were the best days for us in Colombia. Many thanks to you both! We wish you...
