Why visit Cartagena
Cartagena, the Sploria way
Cartagena is where colonial history meets the Caribbean. Sploria curates private villas, yacht charters and insider guides across the walled city, Bocagrande and the islands.
Stay in a restored mansion inside the walled city or a beachfront villa in Bocagrande. Spend the day island-hopping to Rosario and Barú, then come back for rooftop sunsets, salsa and dinner in a candlelit courtyard.
Our local team handles your stay, your boat, your dinners and your plans, from the first transfer to the last sunset.
