Flamingo: a coworking space on Colombia's Caribbean coast
Flamingo is a coworking space in Santa Marta, on Colombia's Caribbean coast near Tayrona National Park. It is worth being clear about what it is: a workspace with day passes, dedicated desks and meeting rooms, not a coliving. Some directories list it as accommodation, but no rooms are published.
What Flamingo Does
- Dedicated desks and hot desks. From around 20 dollars a day up to 60 for the higher tiers.
- Meeting rooms and event spaces. Bookable separately, used by local businesses as well as visitors.
- A rooftop terrace and tropical gardens. Which is most of why people choose it over a cafe.
- A bar and restaurant on site. So the working day does not require leaving.
- Lockers, free coffee and group events. The usual coworking infrastructure, plus a membership card.
Why It Makes Sense for Nomads
Santa Marta is the gateway to some of Colombia's best landscape: Tayrona National Park, the Sierra Nevada, and the Lost City trek. It is hot, coastal and considerably cheaper than Medellin or Bogota.
It is also a hard place to work from. Heat, noise and unreliable connections make cafes difficult, so an air-conditioned space with fast internet and a rooftop is the practical solution for anyone spending weeks in the area.
Treat this as a desk rather than a place to live. Find accommodation separately, then use Flamingo for the working hours. The 4.3 rating across 106 reviews is solid for a coworking space of this size.
Pricing
Day passes from around 20 US dollars, with dedicated desks and meeting rooms priced higher, up to about 60.
A workspace, not a coliving, and a good one for the Colombian coast.
