About The Venue

Welcome to the heart of the world

Gitana del Mar Boutique Beach Resort is located on the shores of the Caribbean Sea in Colombia, South America. The resort lies at the foothills of the impressive and magical Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the world’s highest Coastal Mountain Range. This area is referred to as the Heart of the world, not only because of it’s geographical location, but more importantly because every single ecosystem exists and thrives in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

It is here in the shadow of the Sierra Nevada, nestled under the shade of majestic coconut palms where you can disconnect from the hectic world and appreciate the simpler things in life. Find harmony with mother earth as she offers up the sun, beautiful beaches, fresh salt air and unforgettable panoramic seascapes. Gitana del Mar is a relaxing world where time moves slowly and you can reflect and appreciate all that life and nature have to give. Escape for a while to life by the sea. Feel the raw energy of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Discover peace on white sand beaches. Rise with the sun over the Caribbean and fall asleep counting falling stars in the Milky Way.

About The Food

Gitana del Mar offers delicious gourmet and healthy foods prepared with locally, ethically sourced ingredients, which are combined together in a coastal-themed, fusion-style menu with Colombian, Latin and Asian flavours.

Testimonials

Inner Healing Retreat is an incredible experience that I believe every woman should gift herself. It's a safe space of continuous guidance with Zenitud, two sisters full of wisdom and light who provided us with tools throughout the retreat for healing, listening to our bodies, connecting with our inner selves, opening our hearts, and awakening all of our feminine energy in a welcoming atmosphere of sisterhood with other women. The retreat is a magical place brimming with powerful energy that allows you to be in complete presence and calm; it's beautiful and perfect for living a few days of connection, peace, yoga, healing, well-being, and love. I would return a thousand times over✨.

Manu

The connection with the place, the preparation for every activity, and the immense love from Caro and Luisa, who guided us, created magic! So much so that even today, those thoughts and feelings experienced during those days still manifest within me... Namasté 🙏🏻

Libardo

Gratitude to Zenitud and Gitana del Mar for this beautiful experience. I truly connected with my inner self; these were magical days filled with presence, healing, tranquillity, learning, peace, self-love, and unconditional love. Additionally, it allowed me to meet wonderful people with whom, once again, I discovered I can be vulnerable and compassionate. Thank you, Zenitud, for so much love 🧡 and light with the inner healing retreat.

Jenn

At the Inner Healing Retreat, I was able to connect with myself in a very special way. I received numerous messages and insights about my life, comprehended what I wanted and consistently manifested it. There aren't enough words to fully describe what this experience meant; every time I try to express it, words fall short. Yet, I sum it up as a gift to my soul and mental health. I felt utterly serene and at peace. It was also a retreat filled with a profound connection to nature and the women present, whom I now consider friends. I wholeheartedly and lovingly recommend it.

Vale

Without seeking it, the Inner Healing Retreat occurred at a moment in my life when I needed to reconnect with myself and believe again in life's coincidences, in the natural flow of things, without control 🌞🍃✨⁣. It was 4 days where I enjoyed nature, enjoyed myself, learned, and discovered things that I never thought I would come to like (like crystals), and I met incredible women ✨🦸🏻‍♀️⁣. It is an experience that, without a doubt, I would repeat and that I believe all should live 🌞✨✌🏼⁣ Infinite thanks to Zenitud! ❤️⁣

Maria Camila

My name is Luisa Duarte. In May, I had the opportunity to participate in a magical healing experience with Zenitud, a beautiful group integrated by Luisa and Carolina. These two incredible women provided us with healing workshops that incorporated yoga, crystals, energy protection, journaling, cacao ceremonies, fire ceremonies, and many other activities. I arrived with a great deal of pain after a separation and with low self-esteem, but each activity with them taught me to forgive and forgive myself and to believe in myself again. They equipped me with the tools to believe in myself again and, most importantly, to love myself again. Gitana was also a magical place that, combined with their knowledge and the present peace, allowed us to reflect and release that pain calmly and without judgment. What I took from this magical retreat, as I call it, is that you have to love yourself first, and then everything around you will be fine. I hope to participate again soon in the retreats of these great teachers. May God, life, and the Universe continue to guide them in this beautiful mission.
