Ocean View Two Bedroom Retreat in Cartagena

Isla de Barú runs on a different clock - one the Caribbean seems to enforce without negotiation. At Calablanca Residences, this waterfront apartment puts you directly at the water's edge: sea stretching wide to the horizon, a shared pool catching the afternoon light just below the balcony, and white sand within a five-minute walk without ever leaving the complex. Cartagena is roughly 45-60 minutes away by car or boat - close enough for a day of exploring the walled city, far enough that the island's unhurried rhythm stays completely intact. Living space The balcony opens onto sea views and the shared pool below, with palm fronds edging the frame on either side. Air conditioning keeps every room cool no matter how the day heats up outside, and a BBQ grill on the balcony makes outdoor cooking a natural way to wind down an evening. A TV is available for in-apartment entertainment, and a dedicated workspace means staying connected is straightforward for anyone who needs it. No smoke alarm or carbon monoxide detector is present on the property - guests should take note of this before booking. Sleeping arrangements The apartment sleeps up to 8 guests across 2 bedrooms and 4 beds. Bedroom 1 has a double bed. Bedroom 2 features a double bed alongside 2 pull-out trundle/nest beds - a practical layout for families or groups travelling with younger guests. Hangers, clothing storage, and bed linens are all provided. Kitchen and dining The fully equipped kitchen handles everything from a quick morning coffee to a full group meal without effort. Appliances include a refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, and toaster. Dishes, silverware, wine glasses, and all the cooking essentials are on hand, and a dining table brings the whole group together when it's time to eat. Bathroom All 3 bathrooms come stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body soap, shower gel, and hot water - everything needed to settle in right away. Building and extras Calablanca Residences offers a full set of shared amenities: pool, gym, elevator, and 24-hour on-site staff. Self check-in keeps arrival flexible, and free parking is available in the on-site garage as well as on the street. A washer and dryer are available for longer stays, and essentials including towels, bed sheets, and toilet paper are provided throughout. A ping pong table and pool table round out the on-site entertainment. Pets are welcome to make the trip with you. The beach is less than 5 minutes away on foot, without needing to leave the complex. Use of the sauna and jacuzzi comes at no additional charge - you only need to make a reservation through your Concierge. Massages have an additional cost and can be requested through your assigned Concierge. We offer transportation from Cartagena to Calablanca, at an additional cost. Location The apartment sits waterfront on Isla de Barú, with beach access to the island's shores and Playa Blanca close by. Cartagena is reachable in roughly 45-60 minutes by car or boat - a worthwhile day trip, though the island holds more than enough to fill your time on its own.
