Palmarito Beach
Palmarito Beach is a hotel and beach club on Tierra Bomba Island, just a short boat ride from Cartagena. The property offers simple rooms and cabins right on the water, a pool, sports courts, and dining areas, all set on spacious grounds with direct access to a wide sandy beach.
The island and beach have been part of Cartagena's story for generations as a destination for visitors. The location evolved into a popular retreat for locals and travelers who valued its quiet setting and clear waters.
The beach is a place where visitors enjoy simple pleasures together: day-trippers and overnight guests spend time in the water, by the pool, or in the green areas. The setting becomes social and lively, especially when groups gather to celebrate events or weddings.
Getting there is straightforward: all visitors are picked up by boat from specific locations in Cartagena, such as Castillo Grande or near Bocagrande. The boat ride takes about 10 minutes and is included in all packages, making the transfer simple.
Many visitors report unforgettable moments in hammocks gently swaying in the sea breeze and boat trips around the bay that they share with friends and family. These personal experiences are often mentioned because they show how the place helps people escape busy city life.
