A private island day in the Rosario Islands.
Pao Pao Beach Club sits on a private island in the Rosario Islands, inside the Corales del Rosario National Park, about an hour by boat from Cartagena. It belongs to the same group as Bora Bora Beach Club and pairs two beaches with a pool, a jacuzzi and shaded Balinese beds, so the day moves easily between the sea and the shade.
The day
The day pass includes the round-trip boat from Cartagena, a welcome cocktail, lunch with a choice of dishes and a sun lounger with umbrella, plus access to the pool. Guests can join a short frigate-bird tour, guided snorkeling and the daily wellness session. Private beds and lounges can be added to upgrade the day, and the club welcomes guests from 12 years old.
