Just off Colombia’s Caribbean coast, a sparkling collection of coral gems awaits discovery. The enchanting Islas del Rosario archipelago lies 35km southwest of Cartagena – about a fifty-minute boat ride into the azure waters tourists dream about. These 27 tiny islands form an idyllic tropical paradise where transparent turquoise seas lap against protected coral reefs.
Imagine private islets so petite they might only accommodate a single bungalow surrounded by swaying palms. While technically part of a different chain, nearby Barú Island steals the spotlight with its famed Playa Blanca, one of Colombia’s most beloved stretches of powdery white sand. This crescent-shaped beach has become the crown jewel for visitors seeking that perfect Caribbean escape.
