The luxury hotel Deep Blue, on the remote Caribbean island of Providencia, Colombia, has won the 2019 award for the best waterside hotel in Central and South America at the annual Conde Naste Johansens Awards for Excellence.

Deep Blue’s waterside credentials are quite unique. In front of the hotel is the centrepiece of Colombia’s most exotic marine National Park: Crab Caye. This tiny idyllic caye is home to a vast array of sealife and forms the focal point of a conservation area that acts as a nursery for much of the marine fauna in the Western Caribbean.

“When waking up early and sitting on our hotel balconies you can watch the sunrise behind Crab Caye and sometimes see manta rays leaping from the sea just 20 metres offshore,” says owner Chris Hardyment. “Their belly flop sound is quite distinctive as it carries a long way and pierces what would otherwise be the total silence of a flat, dead calm Caribbean Sea. The mantas only jump if it is dawn and if the sea is completely calm.

“Our hotel has such an incredible waterside location. There’s a reef just 30 metres from our hotel where just about anything and everything has been spotted by our guests: manta rays, turtles, dolphinfish, even big game fish. Right in front of the hotel, you might see any of them with a goggle and snorkel and a bit of luck. Our reefs are like an underwater fairyland of exotic creatures, there’s nowhere else like it in Colombia.”

Deep Blue’s clients regularly cite the incredible sea views and the friendly hospitality of the proud local staff as the most exceptional features of the hotel. Deluxe Double Rooms are priced from approximately USD $200 for 2 people including breakfast whilst the top category Luxury Suites have private infinity plunge pools with exceptional sea views and are priced from approximately USD $300 per night.
