The Maia Group · Operating Portfolio
Maia Management is the recruitment and staffing arm of The Maia Group — a Santa Marta-based conglomerate of operating businesses across legal, real estate, hospitality, maritime, B2B procurement, education, and consumer brands. We don't just place people; we operate alongside them.
Core Infrastructure
Legal, talent, and operations — the backbone services that every other brand depends on.
The parent conglomerate. Holds and operates the full portfolio of brands, capital allocation, and group strategy. Based in Santa Marta, with operations across Colombia.
Bilingual recruitment and staffing for international clients. Connects top Colombian talent with global companies across maritime, hospitality, tech, manufacturing, and media. 90-day placement guarantee.
Corporate, immigration, and real estate law for foreign businesses and individuals operating in Colombia. In-house attorney and certified accountant — full compliance under one roof.
The Maia Group's WhatsApp concierge — your first point of contact across the ecosystem. Qualifies leads, books meetings, handles voice notes, and routes to the right brand 24/7, in English and Spanish.
Commerce & Property
The brands that handle physical assets, supply chains, and the commercial layer of the ecosystem.
Property acquisition, leasing, and management for foreign buyers and expats in Santa Marta and the Colombian Caribbean. Title, due diligence, and post-purchase operations all handled in-house.
B2B procurement and last-mile logistics platform for hospitality, food service, and small business in Colombia. Aggregated supplier network with consolidated billing and delivery.
Marine operations, vessel chartering, and maritime services along Colombia's Caribbean coast. Crew, logistics, and compliance for private and commercial vessels.
Asset management, holding, and capital deployment for the Maia Group portfolio. Long-horizon, operationally-aligned capital — not financial-product investing.
Hospitality & Lifestyle
Restaurants, retreats, and consumer experiences that bring the ecosystem to life on the ground in Santa Marta and beyond.
Japanese fusion food brand in Santa Marta with sushi rolls, ramen, and yakitori-style bar food. Expanding into street sales, delivery, and franchise-ready formats.
Wellness, retreats, and lifestyle programming. Curated experiences blending Colombia's natural environment with intentional, restorative design.
Three-zone destination venue at Calle 19 #4-23, Centro Histórico, Santa Marta. Yakitori bar, cocktail bar, and Paciente 013 — a live horror maze experience. Not a hostel.
B2B botanical ingredient manufacturer for the hospitality industry. Produces concentrates, syrups, and garnishes supplied to bars and restaurants. Not a consumer retail brand.
Curated travel and concierge for international visitors. Itinerary design, ground operations, and on-the-ground hosting across Colombia.
Corporate, private, and experiential events. Production, venue coordination, and full event operations across Colombia's Caribbean coast.
Education & Media
Corporate education, content production, and the platforms that amplify the ecosystem.
Intensive technical training in Santa Marta — Digital Marketing, Web Development, and corporate skills programs delivered presencial in 4-week formats.
Content, storytelling, and brand production for the ecosystem. Photography, video, editorial, and digital channel operations.
