Bora Bora Beach Club – Rosario Islands Day Trip from Cartagena

Where exactly is Bora Bora Beach Club in Cartagena?

Bora Bora Cartagena is located on Isla Grande in the Rosario Islands National Natural Park — about 50 minutes by speedboat from Muelle de La Bodeguita in Cartagena, Colombia. The island is privately managed by the beach club, meaning no public beach access: the entire playa Bora Bora is reserved for registered guests only.

Is Bora Bora a hotel or just a beach club?

Bora Bora Beach Club & Hotel operates both — there are overnight accommodation options managed directly by the property, plus the day pass experience we sell through Cartagena Day Tours. The day pass gives you full access to the bora beach, facilities, DJ, and lunch without an overnight stay. Contact us if you're interested in overnight options.

Is Bora Bora Beach Club really adults-only?

Yes — strictly 18+, no exceptions. This is one of the defining features of Bora Bora Beach Club Cartagena: the vibe, the music, and the crowd are curated for adults. If you're traveling with children, we recommend Isla del Sol or Hotel El Encanto — both are excellent family-friendly alternatives in the Rosario Islands.

What's on the Bora Bora beach club menu?

The Bora Bora beach club menu includes Caribbean lunch with your day pass. Area Club guests choose from 6 options: Mojarra, Grilled Chicken, Balsamic Chicken, Seafood Pasta, Poke Bowl, and Pesto Pasta. Area VIP guests get an extended menu with 10+ options. Additional drinks and food are available for purchase on the island throughout the day.

What's the difference between Area Club and Area VIP?

Both areas include a welcome cocktail, Caribbean lunch, a beach bed from the second row onward (max 3 guests per bed), and full access to the beach club. The real difference is the atmosphere: the VIP zone is the most vibrant part of playa Bora Bora, with more energy, better music positioning, an extended lunch menu (10+ options), and access via the exclusive Buda entrance. In either area, you can upgrade to a front-row bed facing the sea for an additional COP 100,000 per bed (not per person) — paid in cash at the pier and subject to availability.

Can I get a beach bed right in front of the sea?

Yes. Both Area Club and Area VIP include a bed from the second row onward, but front-row oceanfront beds are available as an upgrade for COP 100,000 per bed (not per person). This is paid in cash directly at the pier and is subject to availability on the day — front-row beds go fast, so arrive early at check-in.

Does Bora Bora Cartagena have an open bar?

The standard day pass includes a welcome cocktail and Caribbean lunch, but does not include an open bar. Additional drinks — cocktails, beer, bottle service — are available for purchase on the island. If open bar is a priority for your group, contact us and we'll help you find the best option for your date and group size.

What mandatory fees are paid at the pier?

All guests pay two cash fees at the dock: the Rosario Islands National Park entrance fee (COP 31,500 ≈ USD 8) and maritime insurance (COP 8,800 ≈ USD 2). These are government-mandated and cannot be pre-paid or bundled into the booking. If you want the optional front-row oceanfront bed, bring an additional COP 100,000 per bed in cash. Bring cash — no cards at the pier.

Is Bora Bora Beach Club Cartagena good for birthdays and bachelorette parties?

It's the top choice for celebrations among all the beach clubs in Cartagena Colombia. The DJ atmosphere, social crowd, and iconic bora beach setting make it a natural fit. We can arrange photographer, drone footage, decorations, and bottle service — contact us via WhatsApp to customize your group before booking.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Tours are only cancelled when the Harbor Master officially suspends navigation — which is rare. If that happens, you'll receive a full refund or the option to reschedule at no extra cost.

Can I bring my own food or drinks?

No — outside food and alcohol are not permitted at Bora Bora Beach Club. Food and drinks are available on the island throughout the day, and lunch is included in your day pass.
