Disconnect from the stress of everyday life with an escape to Hotel Las Islas and the white sand beaches of Colombia’s Isla Baru.

Serenity comes easy for guests at Hotel Las Islas. This sophisticated beach hotel is located just 45-minutes by boat from Cartagena in a quiet and naturally beautiful corner of Colombia. Guests can choose from one of 53 bungalows, perched by the water or within the trees. The bungalows’ natural appearance belies the modern accoutrements located within, such as air conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi Internet and flat-screen TVs.

Relaxation is central to the guest experience here and guests have plenty of options to unwind. Start at the hotel’s world class spa, where the native tradition of thalassotherapy forms the central pillar of a holistic spa menu. Breathe deeply and settle in for a guided class at the hotel’s yoga room, or simply take to one of the many hammocks dotted around the properly and drift off to sleep with the lapping ocean as background noise.

All that relaxation is sure to work up an appetite. Luckily, the restaurants and bars at Hotel Las Islas present a mouth-watering selection of cuisines. Across two restaurants, Las Guacas and Tia Coco, guests can look forward to fresh, seasonal cuisine with a focus on local fish and produce. Afterwards, take to Monaprieta or Las Islas Bar and celebrate another soothing day in paradise.
