Open bar at Rosario Islands: Bela Beach all-inclusive escape
Escape the crowds of Cartagena and set sail for a day of relaxation at Bela Beach, a private island in the stunning Rosario Islands. Known for its calm vibe, warm waters, and laid-back setting, Bela Beach is the perfect destination for those looking to disconnect from the city and enjoy a peaceful Caribbean day.
Your journey begins with a scenic 45-minute ride on a Tritón-style speedboat, departing from Cartagena’s Bodeguita Pier. Upon arrival at Bela Beach, you’ll be welcomed into a relaxed, tropical atmosphere surrounded by palm trees and sea breeze.
The full day pass experience includes access to all beach club facilities: shaded lounge areas, bathrooms, a beachfront restaurant, and sun loungers where you can unwind while enjoying music and the natural surroundings. You’ll also have the opportunity to use a kayak for a 20-minute session (subject to availability) and take part in the vibrant ambiance with live DJ sessions, entertainment activities, and a host to keep the energy fun and engaging throughout the day.
The Open Bar features a wide variety of drinks to keep you refreshed all day: water, soft drinks, selected beer, piña colada, coco loco, gin & tonic, daiquiri, caipirinha, Cuba libre, mojito, caipiroska, and tequila sunrise.
