Mantas Beach Club sits on a stretch of white sand in the Rosario Islands, with clear water in front, a second-floor restaurant and viewpoint above, a private pier and a beach bar. Live DJs play every day.

You meet at the Todomar pier in Bocagrande at 7:30 AM and cross by speedboat. There is a glass of champagne on arrival, then the day is yours: a teak lounger on the sand, a fresh-water shower, paddle boards and kayaks, wifi, and an à la carte lunch with eight dishes to choose from. Boats head back at 3:00 PM.

Two plans are available. The standard plan runs a 2×1 bar all day on four cocktails, with a beer bucket deal where you pay for five and the sixth is free. The VIP plan replaces that with an open bar of selected cocktails and unlimited soft drinks, and adds a panoramic tour, a towel, snorkel gear and a day bed for two.

An optional transfer to the Oceanario is included on both plans; the Oceanario entry ticket is not.

Mangatta is a hotel and beach club on the Rosario Islands, reached by sport boat from the private Marina Todomar in Bocagrande. The day pass gives you the run of the property for the day: a bed, sofa or sun lounger, the restaurant, the bar, and the water in front of it.

Boats leave in the morning and take a panoramic run through the archipelago on the way out. Mid-morning there is a snorkelling trip to a sunken light aircraft lying in shallow water nearby — the wreck locally associated with the Pablo Escobar story. Back at the club there is an à la carte lunch with eight dishes to choose from, a DJ every day, freshwater showers and towels, and kayaks, paddle boards and bicycles to use as you like. Boats return to Cartagena at around 3:00 PM.

Two levels of pass are available. The standard pass runs a 2×1 bar all day plus a beer bucket deal; the VIP pass replaces both with an open bar on four cocktails and national beer all day, and adds snorkel masks for use around the club.

PA’UE Beach Lounge sits on its own stretch of the Rosario Islands, 45 minutes by speedboat from Cartagena — driftwood decks under the trees, sun beds at the waterline, and water that runs from jade to deep turquoise.

The day pass is a complete day out, not just an entry ticket. You are picked up at Muelle de la Bodeguita at 7:15 AM, cross the bay on a sport boat with a panoramic run through the archipelago, and arrive to a glass of champagne. From there the island is yours: sun beds, a beach bed, hammocks, kayaks and paddle boards, a full lunch with eight dishes to choose from, and an Endless Happy Hour that runs 2×1 all day long. Boats head back at 3:00 PM.

Arriving on your own boat instead? Choose the cover-charge option below — it covers your entry and use of the club without the round-trip transfer.

Bayside Island is a Rosario Islands beach club built on a flat stretch of sand with clear water in front of it — teak sun loungers, a private pier, an open-air restaurant and a beach bar. It runs as a full-day pass, not a boat tour with a stop attached.

You meet at the Todomar pier in Bocagrande at 7:20 AM and cross by speedboat. On arrival there is a welcome cocktail, or a lemonade if you would rather. After that: the beach, a lounger, a fresh-water shower and a towel, kayaks, paddle boards and snorkel masks to take out, wifi if you need it, and a hydration station with water available all day. Lunch is à la carte with a drink included. Boats are back at the Cartagena pier at 4:00 PM.

Two plans are available. The standard plan has three lunch dishes to choose from. The VIP plan opens that up to seven, adds an open bar of selected cocktails and unlimited soft drinks, includes a 30-minute relaxing massage, and includes the boat transfer across to the Oceanario.
