Whether you have come to relax, take in the views, or explore the island, Las Islas offers an incredibly personalised service, with staff on hand to make your stay truly exceptional. There is a freshwater pool, a spa and the hotel have e-bikes to explore the island. There is a glass-bottomed kayak and stand-up paddle boards, or you can grab your snorkel and explore the wonderful Parque Nacional Natural Corales del Rosario y de San Bernardo, a marine park home to over 170 species of fish and Colombia’s most vibrant coral reef.

Day trips can be organised to nearby Cartagena or even the mysterious ‘Ciudad Perdida’ – a lost city in the jungle and Colombia’s answer to Machu Picchu. For the intrepid you can reach the relatively unexplored ruins on a five day trek, or by helicopter from Isla Baru. Guests at Las Islas have a choice of restaurants and bars, including Tía Coco, which sits over the water and allows guests to swim to their table! Part of the hotel’s conservation plan is to source as much of their produce locally, and you’ll find some delicious freshly prepared dishes each day (the ceviche is particularly spectacular!) For those who want to take a bit of Las Islas home, you can even enrol in one of the hotel’s cookery classes and learn the secrets of Colombian/Caribbean fusion cuisine!
