Prices in USD per person, checked against our booking pages in October 2026. Pier fees are paid in Colombian pesos (COP), in cash at the dock. Each booking page shows the current price.

The Rosario Islands have more than 14 beach clubs. Not all of them are worth your day. This guide covers the best ones, ranked honestly by water quality, service, atmosphere, and overall experience.

Before you go: most Rosario Islands clubs charge a pier fee in cash on the day. At Muelle La Bodeguita it is COP 40,300 (about $10 USD: national park entrance plus maritime insurance). Pa'ue and San Pedro de Majagua charge COP 31,500, clubs leaving from Muelle Todomar (Cocoa, Mantas, IBBIZA) charge COP 18,000 to 31,500, and Corona Island includes the fee in its price.

From $145.

Two zones: one more social and ambient, one quieter. The signature swing beds over the water are a highlight. Kayaks and water sports are available. Food and cocktails are premium.

Paue Beach Lounge, Rosario Islands

Antoni: If choosing between Paue and Capri: Paue is more active and intimate, Capri is more visual and gastronomic. Book 5–7 days ahead regular season, 2–3 weeks for holidays.

Secure checkout. Book directly online, or message us on WhatsApp if you'd rather confirm details before paying. Departure point, boat time, and return schedule are confirmed with your booking.
Free cancellation up to 72 hours before departure. No refund inside that window, but if we cancel due to unsafe sea conditions, you get a full refund or a free reschedule.
Not sure which beach club is right for you? Message us on WhatsApp. Our local team knows every beach club in the Rosario Islands personally and can match you to the right one before you book.
