Work from Paradise: The Best Properties in Cartagena and Santa Marta for Digital Nomads

The Rise of Remote Work and Long-Stay Travel

Since the pandemic, the way we work has transformed. More and more people are adopting hybrid or fully remote lifestyles, allowing them to live wherever they want while working online. This shift has given rise to a new kind of traveler: the digital nomad—professionals who choose destinations based on climate, lifestyle, affordability, and reliable internet.

Colombia, and especially its Caribbean coast, has become a hotspot for this lifestyle. Cartagena, with its rich culture and seaside charm, and Santa Marta, known for its laid-back vibe and access to nature, are among the top picks.
