What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the tiny Caribbean island is home only to the hotel, which is actually more of a collection of eco-friendly boat-shaped cabins, designed to maximize the sound of the waves
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set within the Rosario archipelago, the secluded private island is reached via a forty-five-minute speedboat crossing from Cartagena.
The rooms
Elevated on pilings along the western shore, timber bungalows feature private outdoor jacuzzis and open decks framing Caribbean sunsets.
Yoga and water sports
Daily yoga sessions take place on the sand, and paddleboards and kayaks launch directly into the clear Caribbean water.
At the table
Open-air tables sit directly on the sand beneath shade trees, serving fresh Caribbean seafood and seasonal tropical fruit.
How it began

Originally created as an invite-only retreat by Cerveza Corona, this plastic-free private sanctuary opened to the public in 2025.
