The most iconic beachfront hotels in Cartagena are along Bocagrande, where high-rise towers like Estelar Cartagena De Indias Hotel Y Centro De Convenciones and Hotel Intercontinental Cartagena By Ihg face the Caribbean Sea. For a more tranquil, upscale experience, head to Barú island, where Sofitel Baru Cartagena offers a private beach and luxury amenities, or to Manzanillo for resorts like Estelar Playa Manzanillo. Value seekers will find beachfront options like Hotel Playa Club and the pet-friendly Manzanillo Beach, all with direct access to the sand.
The typical price for a beachfront hotel in Cartagena is around 225,906 COP per night, but you can find budget-friendly options like Manzanillo Beach from 65,889 COP, while luxury resorts such as Estelar Playa Manzanillo can cost up to 1,233,071 COP.
If you want to be close to restaurants and nightlife, Bocagrande is the place—most beachfront high-rises are there. For a quieter, more private beach experience, consider the islands of Barú or Tierra Bomba, where hotels like Sofitel Baru Cartagena and Eteka Slow Beach Hotel are located.
Yes. Eteka Slow Beach Hotel on Isla Tierra Bomba and Wala Hotel And Beach Club are both adults-only and beachfront. Karmairi Cartagena is another adults-only option, set on a private beach with a spa.
Las Americas Torre Del Mar is a family favorite with a private beach, waterslides, and a kids' club. Estelar Playa Manzanillo also offers a private beach and multiple pools, which families appreciate.
Cartagena's beachfront hotels cluster along the Bocagrande peninsula, where high-rise towers like the Estelar and Hotel Costa Del Sol line the shore, and spread south to the quieter sands of Manzanillo and Barú. Here, 'beachfront' can mean anything from a bayside infinity pool in the city to a private stretch of Caribbean sand on an island—so it's worth deciding which kind of escape you want before you book.
In the city, you can expect mid-range to luxury high-rises with ocean views and rooftop pools, with prices from around 53,000 COP for budget-friendly spots to 1,233,071 COP for exclusive resorts. On Barú and Tierra Bomba, you'll find adults-only boutique stays and five-star beachfront escapes, where the trade-off for a longer transfer is a more secluded, beach-first experience.
This collection of beachfront hotels in Cartagena suits travelers who want the convenience of staying right on the water—whether that means ocean-view towers in bustling Bocagrande or secluded island escapes. If you prefer a more urban experience or need to be close to the airport, you might find a better fit among the city's other hotels. For those prioritizing family amenities, the family-friendly options in Cartagena offer dedicated kids' clubs and activities. If you're looking for a spa-focused retreat, the spa hotels in Cartagena provide extensive wellness facilities. And if you want to explore beyond the beach, the general hotels in Cartagena include many choices in the historic center.
