Glamping in Bolívar

Six of the 12 are listed as glamping without a specific type, so the listing is what tells you what the unit is like. The rest are split into three cabins, two ecolodges, one tiny house, one tipi, one safari tent and one floating house. That last format is the rarest in the department: Casa en el Agua, on the Islote de Santa Cruz, is accommodation built over the sea. For the traveler, the takeaway is simple. In the city there are compact formats; on the islands and the peninsula, the beach is what rules.

The Cartagena de Indias page shows the same 12 glampings, because in the data all the glamping in Bolívar falls within that municipality, including Barú, Playa Blanca and the Islote de Santa Cruz. No listing appears only here. What changes is the focus: this page looks at the whole department and shows that, for now, Bolívar's supply comes down to Cartagena, its peninsula and its islands. If you want more options, the page for the area around Cartagena does add listings, because it crosses into Atlántico.

The only reference city in Bolívar is Cartagena, and all 12 glampings fall within its area, including those in Playa Blanca and on the Islote de Santa Cruz. Ask the host whether the trip starts in Cartagena, where the transportation leaves from and whether they arrange it. If you want more options nearby, the page for the area around Cartagena adds Tubará and Juan de Acosta, already in Atlántico. And the Barú page gathers what's on the peninsula.

In Bolívar the extras are concentrated in two formats. Cabins with a beach number 3, and among them 2 have a pool and 2 are advertised for couples. Ecolodges follow the same pattern: 2 with a beach, 2 with a pool and 2 under the couples theme. In other words, if you want a beach and a pool in the same place, look at cabins and ecolodges first. La Cabaña Glamping de Gerónimo, in Barú, is a cabin with that combination. Tintipan Glamping, meanwhile, appears as glamping with no fixed type.
