Romantic Escapes for Couples in Cartagena

We’d love you to spend as much time in our lovely City by the sea as possible. Still, suppose you cannot book one of our luxurious vacation rental homes in Cartagena for a weekend or more. In that case, there are plenty of things you and your someone special can do for a short stay in this Caribbean paradise:

Sightseeing.
Snorkeling or scuba excursions.
• Day treks into the jungle to discover lost cities.
• Simply taking in all of the arts and entertainment Cartagena has to offer.

This passionate Spanish City has inspired visitors for centuries. In recent years, the cultural explosion in Cartagena has transformed this Colombian coastal escape into a destination for food and fun.

The Rosario Islands

There’s something undeniably sexy about the beach. The sun, the sand, the surf, the salt—it all works itself up into a magical elixir that can turn any day into something special for you and your loved one. And there are no better beaches in Cartagena than those found on the nearby Rosario Islands. Just a short boat ride from the marina, the Rosario Islands offer a wide variety of activities for couples looking for a little excitement. Snorkel or scuba on some of the most pristine waters in the Caribbean. Find your own private island for a day. Take a romantic sunset sail and watch as the stars come out to light up your night. Or, perhaps, you would just like to stick your feet in the sand with a fruity drink in your hand. All of this (and more) can be had with a day trip to the Rosario Islands.

Dinner Unlike Anywhere Else on Earth in the Walled City

The influx of celebrity chefs, restaurateurs, and food aficionados has transformed Cartagena into the gustatory capital of Colombia. Here you can find fancy restaurants, trendy bistros, and hole-in-the-wall eateries that serve up some of the tastiest morsels you’ll ever find. Everything is available from traditional Colombian and Caribbean ceviche, to fusion dishes blended with Asian influences, to Cuban offerings, and even traditional (and authentic) Italian cuisine. Plan your long weekend in Cartagena to sample a wide variety of offerings and enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of our quaint little city’s food scene.

Arts and Entertainment in Getsemani

Spanish cities around the world are known for their passion and devotion to the arts. Cartagena is no different. From world-class music festivals to remarkable street art and authentic performances right in the street, there are tons of sites to behold. If Concertos are not your thing and you prefer something you can dance to, the nightclubs in the Getsemani neighborhood of Cartagena offer live bands performing in a tremendous array of styles from sundown into the wee hours of the morning. Salsa, Reggaeton, Hip Hop, and dance music can all be heard spilling onto the street as you make your way from club to club—dancing until your heart is content.

Historic Sites in Cartagena

The Old City of Cartagena has retained its Spanish Colonial charm for centuries. From the amazing architecture to the colorful people, when you visit it’s almost like you stepped back into the past. From historic religious sites (like the Catedral San Pedro Claver) and fortifications (like The Castillo San Felipe de Barajas) to landmark cultural heritage icons (such as the Plaza de Bolívar) your customizable tour of the city will let you see what has drawn people here since before Spain had even heard of The New World.
