Apartments for Sale in Santa Marta

Santa Marta is one of the last stretches of Colombian Caribbean where buying near the beach is still within reach. Tourism grows every year, direct flights keep multiplying, and El Rodadero — the city's classic beach district — combines walkable streets, established services and a rental market that works year-round, not just in high season. That combination is why buyers who look past the flashier markets keep landing here.

The apartments for sale on this page are units we know intimately: we manage them, we know their rental history, and we can show you real occupancy numbers rather than optimistic projections. Buying property in Colombia as a foreigner is entirely legal and more straightforward than most people expect, but the process has its own rhythm — promesa de compraventa, escritura, registration. We walk you through each step and connect you with the notaries and lawyers we work with ourselves. Ask us the uncomfortable questions; honest answers are the whole point of buying from the people who operate the building.

Frequently asked questions

Can foreigners buy property in Santa Marta?

Yes. Foreigners can own property in Colombia with the same rights as citizens. You need a passport, a Colombian tax ID (NIT or cédula de extranjería for residents), and the purchase must be registered properly to qualify the funds for a future investment visa if you want one.

Can I rent out my apartment when I am not using it?

Absolutely — that is our specialty. Twelve Twelve manages short and monthly rentals in the building, so you can hand us the keys and receive reports and income while the apartment works for you.

What returns do apartments in El Rodadero generate?

It varies by unit, view and season, and we would rather show you real numbers than quote a generic percentage. Contact us on WhatsApp and we will share actual occupancy and income history for comparable units we manage.
