The two master suites are connected by a beautiful living room, with all three spaces opening onto an infinity pool that overlooks the treetops, ocean, and bay. Adjacent to the pool, the dining room offers a quaint yet elegant setting, decorated with dramatic lamps and a striking table made from a vintage wood door.

Children
The property is family-friendly but due to the number of steps at the property we recommend it for older children.
It's the views at Agua Barú that will grab your attention shortly after arriving via private speedboat from Cartagena. The intimate hotel sits in a privileged location that makes the most of the soothing ocean breeze and the stunning views of the Rosario and Barú islands.
