Dharma Beach Club Cartagena brings a calm, wellness-tinged mood to the Rosario Islands. Think loungers by the water, a relaxed lunch and an afternoon happy hour rather than a non-stop party, with a Premium plan that layers on VIP touches for travelers who want a little more comfort.

The club is open to guests aged 12 and over, so teens can come along while the atmosphere stays grown-up. If you are still deciding which island fits your trip, our complete Rosario Islands guide explains how the archipelago and its beach clubs compare.

What your day looks like

Boats leave from Marina Todomar in Bocagrande, a convenient departure point if you are staying in the hotel zone. Plan to arrive early for check-in, around 7:30 AM; we confirm the exact boarding time with your booking. The mandatory port tax and maritime insurance are paid in cash, in Colombian pesos, at the marina before departure. They are not part of the booking and can change without notice.

A shared speedboat takes you to the club, where the day unfolds slowly. Claim your lounger, swim, and enjoy a non-alcoholic welcome drink. Lunch offers five options, and from about 1:00 to 3:00 PM a happy hour with beer and cocktails livens things up. On selected dates and weekends a DJ plays. The return trip reaches Cartagena in the mid-afternoon, depending on sea conditions and Port Authority clearance.

Who Dharma Beach Club Cartagena is for

Couples looking for a peaceful beach day with a sociable afternoon will feel at home here. Families with teenagers are welcome, since guests aged 12 and up can join. Travelers based in Bocagrande appreciate the nearby marina, and anyone who wants VIP comforts without the feel of a big party club will find the Premium plan a good match.

Standard or Premium

Standard covers the round-trip boat, a sun lounger, the non-alcoholic welcome drink, lunch, the afternoon happy hour and club access.

Premium adds hydration at the marina before you leave, a rose-petal welcome ritual, a welcome cocktail, a premium beach bed, towel service and access to the VIP zone.

On both plans, extra food and drinks, snorkel gear and massages are paid on site. Hotel transfers to the marina are not included, but we can arrange a private transfer if you ask on WhatsApp.
