What they say
Also in Michelin.
You’ll sleep under a distinctive conical thatched roof, in a bungalow that spans at least 70 square meters, some with decks that open directly onto the sea.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set in the waters of Corales del Rosario National Natural Park, calm mangrove channels and coral reefs surround the island, forty-five minutes from Cartagena.
The rooms
Conical thatched bungalows feature private plunge pools, bamboo privacy screens, and expansive timber decks set steps from the Caribbean tide.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A seawater swimming pool sits beside shaded pergolas and timber decks looking out across the water.
The spa
Open-air cabanas host sound healing with Tibetan singing bowls, alongside a hydrotherapy circuit with a Finnish sauna.
The yoga deck
A polished timber platform sits enveloped in dense jungle canopy for open-air meditation and private yoga.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Isleta Restaurant serves fresh Caribbean seafood on the sand, and the clubhouse rooftop bar has a telescope for night stargazing.
How it began
Originally reserved for day excursions, this private islet was transformed in 2021 into an exclusive enclave of ten permanent waterfront bungalows.
