Eteka Beach – Boho Sanctuary & Spa, Tierra Bomba Cartagena
Éteka Beach Club Cartagena — Boho Sanctuary & Slow Life Day Pass on Tierra Bomba
Éteka Beach Cartagena is a 5-star boutique hotel on Tierra Bomba Island — just 10 minutes from Cartagena — that opens its doors to day visitors. Two private beaches, a biophilic design pool (Piscina KATAI), award-winning Caribbean gastronomy, welcome cocktail with liquor, and Afro chill-out music in one of the most photogenic and intentional beach settings near Cartagena.
Éteka Beach Club is not a party destination. It's a boho sanctuary built around the slow life philosophy — curated for free spirits, couples, and travelers who want to disconnect, eat well, and actually restore themselves. If you're looking for a DJ rave or a loud social scene, this is not your place. If you want soul, Caribbean gastronomy, and a day that feels genuinely different — Éteka Cartagena is it.
Two day pass options: the complete Pasadía (4-course gastronomic experience, dock tax included) or the lighter Pasadía Light (2-course lunch, lower price, dock tax paid separately). VIP areas available as upgrades. Limited capacity — book your preferred departure time in advance.

At Éteka, we are firm believers in the cultural movement known as Slow Life — which encourages slowing down the fast pace of life and finding your own rhythm rather than succumbing to the pressure of immediacy.
The Slow Life philosophy prioritizes activities that nurture holistic development: walking along the beach, traveling for pleasure, turning off your phone, spending time with loved ones, meditating, and resting.
We have created a space to find the rhythm of your soul, disconnect from the stress of daily life, and reconnect with the essence of your being. The beautiful nature, the sound of the waves, our Afro chill-out music selection, and the gentle Caribbean breeze — this is what Éteka Beach Club is about.
If you are looking for a party atmosphere or a high-energy beach club — Éteka Cartagena is not for you. Éteka is built for free spirits.
- Éteka Beach Club is designed for slow, intentional experiences — no party or high-energy atmosphere
- Piscina KATAI pool is free access but cannot be reserved in advance — request on arrival at reception
- VIP areas (Mirador and Deck Playa) can be confirmed at booking — limited spots
- Live DJ on Saturdays · Afro chill-out music daily
- Pasadía Light dock tax (COP 18,000) paid at the pier in cash — Pasadía dock tax is included
- Food allergies — notify us at booking for adapted menu options (vegan and vegetarian available)
- Limited capacity per departure slot — book early and specify your preferred time
What is the difference between Pasadía and Pasadía Light?
Both plans at Éteka Beach Club Cartagena include round-trip boat, welcome cocktail with liquor, Oshibori, towel, pool access, and music. The difference is the food experience and dock tax: Pasadía includes a 4-course gastronomic experience (snack, starter, main, dessert) and the dock tax — nothing extra at the pier. Pasadía Light includes a 2-course lunch (main + dessert) from 4 set options, at a lower price, but the dock tax (COP 18,000 ~USD 5) is paid separately in cash at the pier.
Is the pool included at Éteka?
Yes — Piscina KATAI, the biophilic design pool at Éteka Beach Cartagena, is free access for all day pass guests. However, pool spaces cannot be reserved in advance — you request your spot at the hotel reception when you arrive. Capacity is limited, so arriving earlier in the day gives you a better chance of getting a poolside space.
Is Éteka Beach Club a party beach club?
No — Éteka Cartagena is very clear about this. There is no party atmosphere, no loud energy, and no hard-party DJ sets (Saturdays have a chill live DJ). If you want a full party experience, Bora Bora Beach Club or Fénix Beach Club are better fits. Éteka is built for free spirits who want calm, soul, and intention.
What are the VIP areas at Éteka?
Éteka Beach Club has two VIP areas available as upgrades: the Mirador (panoramic viewpoint — one of the most photogenic spots on the island) and the Deck Playa (front-row beach deck). Both cost COP 100,000 (~USD 24) per person, which is fully consumable in food and drinks. Confirm your VIP area at booking — spots are limited.
Is the welcome cocktail with alcohol included?
Yes — both the Pasadía and Pasadía Light at Éteka Beach Cartagena include a welcome cocktail with liquor on arrival, plus an Oshibori (warm towel). Additional alcoholic beverages beyond the welcome cocktail are available for purchase on-site.
What's the best day to visit Éteka?
Every day at Éteka has Afro chill-out and crossover music, but Saturdays feature a live DJ that adds a special layer of ambiance. If you want the most elevated music experience, book a Saturday. If you prefer an even quieter, more meditative day, weekdays are ideal.
Does Éteka have vegan and vegetarian options?
Yes — Éteka Beach Club Cartagena has more than 20 menu options including vegan and vegetarian dishes. If you have food allergies, notify us at booking so the team can prepare adapted menu options for you.
What's the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation or rescheduling up to 72 hours before departure. No refund within 72 hours. If the tour is cancelled due to unsafe sea conditions, you receive a full refund or the option to reschedule at no charge.

Private transfer from your hotel to La Bodeguita Pier, Gate #1, and back.
VIP area upgrade
Mirador or Deck Playa — COP 100,000 consumable voucher per person. Confirm at booking.
Private photographer
One of the most photogenic settings near Cartagena — capture it professionally.
Romantic dinner
Éteka hosts private romantic dinners by the sea — ask us about availability and dates.
- Full payment required at time of booking
- Free cancellation or rescheduling up to 72 hours before departure
- No refund for cancellations within 72 hours of departure
- Tour cancelled due to unsafe sea conditions — full refund issued
- Secure checkout — Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal accepted
Book the Saturday slot if you can — the live DJ adds a layer of ambiance that makes Éteka feel completely different. If you want the Mirador or Deck Playa VIP areas, confirm them at booking — they sell out. And if pool access matters to you, arrive on the 10:00 or 10:30 AM boat — pool spaces are first-come and can fill up by midday. The 4-course Pasadía is worth the upgrade over Light if gastronomy is part of why you're going.
