01 · In a sentence

Anaho Beach Club in Bolívar, open JanuaryDecember.

Anaho Beach Club stands apart as Cartagena's only all-inclusive beachfront venue on a private island, offering direct Caribbean access without the mainland crowds.

Located on Isla de Tierra Bomba, this hotel property eliminates the need for guest accommodations elsewhere, streamlining logistics while delivering 360-degree water views and white-sand beach ceremonies.

With 4.6-star ratings across 200+ reviews, the venue has hosted 40+ destination weddings annually.

I had an issue with a private event that rented this venue and they responded promptly with the assistance they could provide. The property is beautiful with a great view of Cartagena. Service is prompt and friendly and facilities are clean.
