1. A Romantic Destination Full of History and Charm

Cartagena is a city full of history, but also romance. Its Walled City, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the perfect place to stroll with your partner, admiring the cobblestone streets, ancient walls, and impressive colonial churches. Walking hand in hand through its streets will transport you to a bygone era, where the magic of Cartagena blends with the warm Caribbean breeze.

If you stay at Voila Centro Histórico, you’ll be at the heart of this historic city, with easy access to its main tourist attractions and an authentic Cartagena experience. Imagine stepping out of your room and being just minutes away from the best views and most romantic squares in the city.

Tips to Enjoy Cartagena’s History:

Take a horse-drawn carriage tour through the walled city for a romantic and relaxing experience.
Visit San Felipe Castle for panoramic views of the city and the Caribbean Sea.
Enjoy a sunset dinner at one of the sea-view restaurants in the walled city.

2. Idyllic Beaches to Relax and Enjoy Together

The beaches of Cartagena provide the perfect setting for a romantic getaway. From the crystal-clear waters of Playa Blanca on Isla Barú to the vibrant beaches of Bocagrande, the city offers spots where you can enjoy peace and tranquility with your partner. If you prefer privacy, the Rosario Islands are the perfect place to escape the crowds and enjoy a day of relaxation, snorkeling, and water sports.

And after a day of sun and sea, you can return to your cozy Voila hotel, whether in Centro Histórico or Getsemaní, and unwind in a tranquil and exclusive atmosphere.
