Capri Beach Club Rosario Islands Day Trip from Cartagena
Capri Beach Club is located on Isla Grande, one of the most popular areas of the Rosario Islands near Cartagena. Inspired by Mediterranean beach club style and adapted to the Caribbean setting, Capri combines coastal design, music, beach seating, lunch, drinks, and access to selected recreational equipment within the club area.
After a shared speedboat ride from Cartagena, guests arrive at Capri for a full beach club day designed around comfort, swimming, music, food, and relaxation. Depending on the plan selected, the experience may include a scheduled open bar, all-day selected drinks, upgraded lunch options, or a 30-minute relaxing massage.
This experience works well for couples, friends, solo travelers, and groups who want a more curated beach club atmosphere than a basic island stop. Capri is not a private island rental, and conditions such as water clarity, crowd levels, music volume, beach conditions, and service pace may vary depending on the season, weather, and daily operation.
