Cartagena pulses, Las Islas calms: this is what the ideal summer feels like
The second half of the year begins. And perhaps, without realizing it, months have already passed filled with meetings, obligations, and days that blur together. If that long-promised break from January hasn’t happened yet, now is the time. The body is asking for it. The mind is craving it. Sometimes, the most urgent thing is to pause, breathe deeply, and reconnect—with peace, purpose, and personal wellbeing.
While Cartagena bursts with festivals and city life, Hotel Las Islas Cartagena offers something entirely different: a haven of calm surrounded by mangroves, exotic wildlife, and the constant rhythm of the sea.
In this corner of the Caribbean, every day is an invitation to rediscover what matters: walking barefoot through forest trails, floating in warm, gentle waters, and watching the horizon from a private overwater deck. In this setting, true rest isn’t about going somewhere new—it’s about coming back to yourself.
Nature that awakens all senses
During this season, nature doesn’t just show itself—it comes alive. Clear waters reveal tropical fish, sea turtles, and gliding rays. Above, seabirds nest and sing into the sunrise.
But it’s not just about what you see. At Las Islas, nature is honored. The Caribbean dry forest and mangroves have been carefully restored. This is not just a resort—it’s a living ecosystem, one that regenerates and welcomes.
And at night, if nature allows, a moment of magic: bioluminescence in the Colombian Caribbean. The ocean becomes a canvas of light, glowing with every movement. It’s not a show—it’s a feeling. One that lingers long after.
While Cartagena celebrates, Las Islas soothes
While the walled city fills with music, tourists, and celebration, Hotel Las Islas Cartagena flows at a different pace. Here, there are no crowds. Just the sound of waves, trees, and your own breath slowing down.
Non-motorized water activities like paddleboarding, kayaking and snorkeling are included. Guests are free to explore at their own rhythm—or do nothing at all. Because sometimes the most meaningful moments happen when nothing interrupts them.
Family bungalows: together, comfortably
For those traveling with family, our bungalows in Barú—whether perched above the sea or nestled in the trees—are designed to keep everyone close, yet give each person the space they need.
Some offer private pools, others feature jacuzzis and terraces that frame the sunset. Two-level layouts allow privacy for all, while extra rooms accommodate children or companions. All surrounded by nature, silence, and gentle air.
A luxury that regenerates
At Las Islas, luxury isn’t loud. It’s respectful. It’s thoughtful. Every structure, every material, every space was designed with a low-impact philosophy and deep care for the land.
This is a true sustainable luxury experience—one where world-class comfort meets environmental responsibility. Staying here means not only resting, but participating in a better way of inhabiting the Caribbean.
The Caribbean you didn’t know you needed
This summer, don’t follow the crowd—follow your rhythm. Trade noise for nature. Choose intention over speed. Vacations in Barú can be a return to clarity, to calm, to what matters.
At Hotel Las Islas Cartagena, every day is a ritual of peace. Every activity reconnects you to the land and sea. And every night holds you in silence, under a sky full of stars.
