San Andrés Colombia

San Andrés is a Caribbean island with over forty excellent dive sites, some of the best beaches in the region and a deep blue sea that shimmers green and lilac in the sun. Add in warm, generous locals full of “sabrosura”, and you have just some of the charms of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina in Colombia’s Caribbean. Visitors enjoy the fresh sea breeze, coconut-laden palm trees and white sandy beaches that frame glorious sunsets over these paradise islands. The easy-going, welcoming smiles of the islanders make this an ideal place for a summer holiday. Located about 700 km off the Colombian coast, San Andrés is an ocean pearl where English, African, Spanish, pirate and privateer influences blend into a culture full of “sabrosura”, set to the irresistible rhythm of reggae. It’s a perfect spot for diving, watersports, eco‑tourism or simply relaxing. Excited travellers first glimpse San Andrés’ famous “sea of seven colours” from the plane before diving in to discover its colourful fish and coral. After a morning on the beach and an afternoon browsing the island’s excellent duty‑free shopping, the night comes alive with music and dancing, rounding off a perfect day in the ideal place for a Caribbean break. Holidays in San Andrés are packed with excitement and adventure. You can explore a pirate’s cave, dive on the coral reef or hunt for bargains in the shops. You’ll likely hear locals chatting in Creole – a mix of Elizabethan English, Spanish and African languages – as well as modern English and Spanish. The rich mix of cultures that makes San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina so captivating has deeply influenced the islands’ music. Day and night are filled with the sounds of reggae, reggaeton, raga, soca, calypso, merengue, salsa and vallenato – the soundtrack of this land of “sabrosura”. If sunshine and beach holidays appeal to you, it’s also worth discovering Santa Marta on the mainland, the gateway to the wild scenery and powerful waves of Tayrona National Natural Park and the laid‑back beaches of El Rodadero.
