Cartagena Hotels on the Beach

If you want a hotel literally on the sand, the best concentration is in Bocagrande and along the peninsula's main beach strip. Sofitel Baru Cartagena offers a private beach on Baru island, while Hotel Intercontinental Cartagena By Ihg and Radisson Cartagena Ocean Pavillion Hotel combine direct beach access with large pools. For a family-friendly option, Las Americas Torre Del Mar has a private beach, waterslides, and a kids' club, with an 8.7 rating. Budget beachfront picks include Hotel Playa Club and Manzanillo Beach, both with direct access and free parking or pet-friendly policies.

Frequently asked

What is the cheapest month to visit Cartagena for beach hotels?

Prices are not season-specific in the data, but you'll typically find the lowest rates in off-peak months like September and October. The cheapest beach hotels in Bocagrande start around 65,945 COP, and the typical nightly rate is about 178,994 COP, so booking ahead in quieter months can help secure a bargain.

Which area of Cartagena is best for a beach hotel?

For direct beach access and the widest choice, Bocagrande and El Laguito are the main strips, with high-rise hotels like Hotel Intercontinental and Radisson. For a more secluded experience, consider Baru (Sofitel Baru) or Isla Tierra Bomba (Eteka Slow Beach Hotel), but note these are a short drive or boat ride from the old city.

How do I get from Rafael Núñez International Airport to beach hotels in Cartagena?

The airport is about 15 minutes by taxi to Bocagrande, where most beach hotels are located. Expect to pay around 30,000–40,000 COP. For resorts at Playa Manzanillo, some hotels like Estelar Playa Manzanillo offer a free shuttle to the city centre.

Are the beach hotels in Cartagena walkable at night?

Yes, the Bocagrande–El Laguito strip is lively and walkable, with many restaurants and bars along Avenida San Martin. You'll find hotels like Hotel Playa Club and Hotel Oceania close to nightlife, but it's advisable to stick to well-lit streets and take a taxi if venturing far.

Beach Hotels in Cartagena

Cartagena's coastline is split between the high-rise strip of Bocagrande and El Laguito, the island escapes of Baru and Tierra Bomba, and the quieter sands of Manzanillo. The city's beach hotels are concentrated along Avenida San Martin and the peninsula's western edge, where most rooms look out over the Caribbean. A few properties sit further afield, on Baru or Isla Tierra Bomba, trading convenience for seclusion and their own stretch of sand.

At the budget end, a night near the beach starts around 65,945 COP for a simple two-star, while the top beachfront resorts reach 1,234,116 COP. Most travellers fall in the typical range of about 178,994 COP, which buys a decent four-star in Bocagrande. The set includes over a dozen three-star options and a dozen five-stars, so the choice really comes down to how much you want to pay for direct beach access and on-site extras.

The bottom line

These beach hotels suit travellers who want the Caribbean at their doorstep, from the luxurious private sands of Sofitel Baru to the value of Manzanillo Beach. Families will appreciate the resorts with waterslides and kids' clubs, while couples can choose adults-only havens like Wala or Eteka. If you're flying in and need somewhere to sleep, the Airport hotels in Cartagena page covers that.
