Cartagena · Bocagrande · Santa Marta
Private villas, mansions
and penthouses in the Old City.
Forty-one houses inside the walls of Cartagena de Indias, run with full staff, hosted by humans on WhatsApp. Built for groups of four to forty-two.
The mansions
Up to 21 bedrooms,
full staff, inside the walls.
Our largest houses sit on the Plaza Santo Domingo, Plaza Trinidad and Clock Tower axis. Each has a butler, chef, daily cleaning and overnight security included in the nightly rate.
About
A small Cartagena operator, not a portal.
We are a Cartagena-based S.A.S. registered under Colombian RNT #43008, with eleven years on the ground inside the walls. Every property is staffed and inspected by our team. Bookings happen on WhatsApp with a real person, not a self-serve checkout.
Most of our guests are groups celebrating something specific: a fortieth birthday, a wedding weekend, a multi-family Thanksgiving. We help with the rest of the trip too. Boats to the Rosario islands, chef menus, sunset reservations at La Cevichería, which Plaza Trinidad bar your eighteen-year-old cousin should not be allowed to enter alone.
Browse
Start with the size of your group.
Most decisions about which villa fits start here. Then we tighten on neighbourhood, pool, and whether the chef does pescatarian on Tuesday.
Trip-led collections
Houses curated by what you're doing.
Bedroom count is a starting point. The right house depends on whether it's a wedding weekend, a family Thanksgiving, or two of you escaping Manhattan in February.
For the I-do weekend
Wedding-ready houses
Mansions with rooftop space for a ceremony, full butler, and chef-run dinners for 30–40 guests.
For the trip you won't post about
Bachelor & bachelorette
Plaza Trinidad-adjacent houses, late check-outs, our concierge on speed dial. We hold the bar tables.
For the grandparents-to-college-kids trip
Multi-family compounds
5–8 bedrooms, private pool, room enough for the kids to disappear and the adults to actually rest.

Honeymoon penthouses
Private jacuzzi on the rooftop, walking distance to dinner, breakfast quietly delivered.

Chef and butler service
Local chefs trained in coastal Colombian cuisine. Full butler service is standard on every mansion.
