Passover Program in Santa Marta, Colombia

PLAYA DORMIDA, SANTA MARTA

COLOMBIA – Passover 2025

The only Passover program where you’ll feel at home!!

Welcome to Santa Marta, Colombia!!
We’re excited to introduce this new destination for Passover 2025. In keeping with our signature programs where our guests can truly experience the year’s chosen destination, we are thrilled to be taking over the Marriott at Playa Dormida.

Located on a private beach, this entire resort will be kosher exclusively for us. We can’t wait to host you and your families, and make you feel at home. Our personalized and dedicated service is what truly sets us apart and we guarantee the only stress you’ll have is deciding between a margarita or an iced coffee, both served oceanside. Our program truly includes something for everyone. You’ll find yourself enjoying supyoga in the pool, after joining our run club and ending the morning with a relaxing massage at the Seishua Spa (…did we mention the Colombian exchange rate is beautifully in your favor and everything is very affordable here?) If you´re one of our younger guests and looking to spend the morning doing arts & crafts, snacking by the beach and enjoying a ping pong game then we´ve got you covered as well. As far as the men go…our cigar rolling and hookah lounges are the perfect spot to unwind and meet with other amazing families. This is the year to create memories, and we are the program for it!!

Santa Marta is a stunning destination with guaranteed sun for our program.

Located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, the weather is warm and sunny but comfortable and dry in the evenings. This makes for the perfect setting to host our hol hamoed dinner parties oceanside!! The contrast between the coast and the mountain tops will keep you guessing what the next daytrip will bring. Famous for it´s coffee and cocoa plantations, the hikes up to Minca and it´s beautiful waterfalls will make you marvel at Mother Nature like never before. You might even take a tube ride down the lazy river of Don Diego on your way down. The Tayrona National Park is truly amazing as the tropical landscapes vary between desert rock islands of cactus and sand, to lush tropical green spreads of wildlife and wonder. If you´re looking to spend a cultural moment in the historic city center, let your bilingual tour guide show you around. This place truly has it all!!
