Aparthotels in Cartagena merge the independence of an apartment with the services of a hotel. You get a kitchen or kitchenette, often a separate living area, and — especially in the beachfront towers of Bocagrande and La Boquilla — sea views that a standard hotel room rarely matches. The range is wide: from the bare-bones, brilliantly located Casa Ego in Getsemani to the four-star comfort of Bondo Hometel with its rooftop pool and spa. The common thread is space and the freedom to cook, which suits families, long-stay visitors, and anyone tired of eating every meal out.
If you’re watching your budget, the cheapest aparthotels on this page are Casa Ego, with rates from COP 75,302 per night in central Getsemani, and Avadia Del Mar from COP 84,715 in La Boquilla. Both are no-frills in the best sense: Casa Ego’s rates reflect its compact rooms and central location — you’re paying for the address, not the square footage — while Avadia Del Mar sits near the beach and kite clubs, so the setting does the heavy lifting. For a little more, Del Mar Guest House at COP 178,842 adds a rooftop pool, and Travelers Orange Cartagena from COP 185,118 gives you a quiet, clean base in Castillogrande with a kitchen and a pool. The sweet spot for value is probably around COP 150,000–200,000, where you get a kitchen, a decent location, and often a pool without the beachfront premium. Note that the very cheapest options may not include parking or a concierge — weigh those against what you save.
For beachfront aparthotels, your choices are concentrated in two areas: the high-rise strip of Bocagrande and the more laid-back sands of La Boquilla. In Bocagrande, Playa Cartagena Apartments (from COP 332,584) and Apartamentos Palmetto (from COP 411,024) both offer direct beach access with sea views, a pool, and free parking — ideal if you want a resort-style stay with the Walled City a short taxi ride away. Further north, La Boquilla’s beaches are quieter and more kite-surfing oriented. Avadia Del Mar (from COP 84,715) is the cheapest option there, while Morros 3 (from COP 436,124) is a more polished beachfront property with sea views, a pool, and parking, a short walk from Kitesurf Colombia. Also nearby, Apartamento Seaway 935 Morros in La Boquilla (from COP 332,584) puts you a short walk from Convento La Popa, with free parking and a pool. Whichever you pick, you’ll be trading the historic centre’s charm for immediate ocean access — and, often, a better price for the space you get. If being beachfront is essential but your budget is tight, La Boquilla is consistently cheaper than Bocagrande.
The Walled City — Calles de Cartagena’s historic core — is where you’ll find the few aparthotels that put you inside the colonial hubbub. Amara Living Aparthotel (from COP 348,272) sits in the heart of the old city, with spacious, bright apartments and sea views, a short stroll to museums and plazas. Stay Q Dominique (from COP 269,832) offers rooftop pool, airport shuttle, and apartments with kitchens, though it’s closer to the airport than the centre — so if you want to wake up to the sound of bells and cobblestones, Amara is the genuine Central option. The trade-off is price: staying here costs more than the Getsemani or Manga options, and you’ll likely walk to most sights. For a central-but-quieter alternative, consider Del Mar Guest House (COP 178,842) in Getsemani, which is a five-minute walk to the old city’s southern edge and a world cheaper, or Bahia 79 Apartasuites in Manga (COP 153,742) for a calm, practical base you can walk into the centre from.
Getsemani is Cartagena’s edgy, vibrant barrio just outside the old city walls — and it’s where you’ll find the best value central aparthotels. Casa Ego (from COP 75,302) is the budget king, offering spacious rooms and helpful staff right in the heart of the action, minutes from top sights. Del Mar Guest House (from COP 178,842) is a small aparthotel with a rooftop pool, literally steps from Getsemani’s bars and restaurants. The neighbourhood buzzes at night — you’ll hear music from the plazas and smell street food from your balcony — but for some travellers that’s exactly the point. If you prefer quiet, Travelers Orange in Castillogrande is a short hop away, but staying in Getsemani means you’re never far from a salsa bar or a late-night arepa. The trade-off is noise: these aren’t soundproofed high-rises. If you value a good night’s sleep over immediate nightlife, consider the edges of the neighbourhood or Manga.
Families often pick aparthotels for the extra space and the kitchen, and Cartagena’s offerings deliver on both. The beachfront towers in Bocagrande — Playa Cartagena Apartments, Apartamentos Palmetto, and Alojamientos Cartagena Edificio Los Delfines — offer pools, sea views, and free parking, which is a genuine plus when you’re hauling kids and beach gear. On the Castillogrande side, Travelers Orange Cartagena has kitchens, a pool, and a calm, residential setting that’s a short walk from the beach — a quieter alternative to the denser strip. For a more central option, Bahia 79 Apartasuites in Manga provides pools and kitchenettes in a quiet location, practical for exploring on foot. And if you’re happy to be out near the airport, Stay Q Dominique offers a rooftop pool and airport shuttle, which can simplify a late arrival with children. The one caveat: not all aparthotels have proper double beds or cribs, so check specifics before booking — but the cooking facilities and space are a real win for families.
Parking is a genuine commodity in Cartagena, and a handful of these aparthotels include it for free — a rare find in the historic centre. Specifically, Playa Cartagena Apartments, Apartamentos Palmetto, Apartamentos Condominio H2 Bocagrande, Morros 3, and Apartamento Seaway 935 Morros all advertise free parking, and most are in Bocagrande or La Boquilla, where space is less scarce than in the Walled City. Hospedaje Portal Del Virrey also lists free parking. If you’re renting a car to explore outside the city — like the Rosario Islands or the mud volcano — these properties save you a daily fee and the headache of hunting for a spot. On the other hand, if you plan to stay in the centre and rely on taxis or walking, you can skip the parking premium and book a cheaper option like Casa Ego or Bahia 79. Just be aware that parking is not offered at every property here, so if a car is essential, filter accordingly.
The input doesn’t specify monthly prices, but generally Cartagena is cheaper from April to November (excluding holiday weeks), when the weather is still hot but tourist numbers drop. On this page, the lowest nightly rates are around COP 75,302 at Casa Ego and COP 84,715 at Avadia Del Mar, so you can find budget options year-round. If you're flexible, aim for a mid-week stay in the low season for the best deals.
For a first visit, the Walled City or Getsemani puts you closest to the historic sights and nightlife, but be prepared for noise — Del Mar Guest House and Casa Ego are right in the thick of it. If you prefer to be near the beach, Bocagrande (Playa Cartagena Apartments, Apartamentos Palmetto) or Castillogrande (Travelers Orange) offer sea views and a quieter stay, with taxis to the old town costing a few thousand pesos. For a balance, Manga (Bahia 79) is quiet and walkable, though less vibrant.
A few properties list airport shuttle services: Stay Q Dominique offers an airport shuttle, and Apartamentos Condominio H2 Bocagrande includes a free one. Others don’t advertise it, so you’ll need to take a taxi or arrange a private transfer — the airport is about 5 km from the centre, and a taxi typically costs around COP 20,000–30,000 depending on traffic. If you’re arriving late, consider booking one of these two to simplify the first night.
The input doesn’t specify discounts, but many aparthotels in Cartagena offer weekly or monthly rates because of their kitchen facilities. The properties here include a mix of short-stay hotels and apartment-style rentals, so it’s worth asking directly or checking the booking platform for long-stay deals. For a city where most visitors stay 3–5 days, a week’s booking may unlock a better per-night price, especially at the budget end.
Cartagena’s aparthotels are scattered across a handful of very different neighbourhoods, and that geography shapes what each stay feels like. In Bocagrande and the nearby beachfront strip, you’ll find high-rise apartments with sea views, infinity pools and free parking — places like Playa Cartagena Apartments and Apartamentos Palmetto, where the Caribbean is the backdrop to breakfast. Further north in La Boquilla, the mood is looser and more local, with kite clubs and quieter sands just steps from properties like Avadia Del Mar and Morros 3. Back towards the old city, the options shift again: Travelers Orange Cartagena sits in calm, residential Castillogrande, minutes from the beach but a short hop from the Walled City, while Del Mar Guest House and Casa Ego put you right in the thick of Getsemani’s bars and restaurants.
What the money buys here varies almost as much as the locations. At the budget end, a night in a central aparthotel like Casa Ego starts around COP 75,302, and you’re paying for location and character rather than frills — just as well, because a kitchenette means you can eat well without a restaurant bill every night. At the other extreme, Apartamentos Condominio H2 Bocagrande by Parceros Group asks close to COP 1,794,699 for spacious sea-view apartments with a free airport shuttle, and Siete Mares Aparthotel markets itself on self-catering comfort near the Monumentos Union de los Oceanos. Between those poles sit the mid-range workhorses: Bahia 79 Apartasuites in Manga, with pools, kitchenettes and a practical central base, and Bondo Hometel, whose rooftop pool and spa make it a comfortable retreat a short drive from the Walled City. Almost all of these are self-catering in the truest sense — kitchens or kitchenettes as standard, which is the whole point of choosing an aparthotel over a conventional room in this city of heat, street food and long, lazy days.
Aparthotels in Cartagena are the right choice for travellers who want space to spread out, a kitchen for self-catering, and often a sea view that a conventional hotel room can’t match. They suit families, longer stays, and anyone who values location plus practicality — especially in Bocagrande’s beachfront towers or the budget haunts of Getsemani. If you prefer a full-service hotel with daily housekeeping, a restaurant, and perhaps a spa, look at the general Hotels in Cartagena page or the Spa hotels in Cartagena listing. Those travelling with children may also want to compare with Family Friendly hotels in Cartagena, which might have kid-focused amenities that aparthotels lack, while those on a tight budget should check Cheap and budget hotels in Cartagena. For specific needs like parking or a pool, the dedicated filters on the hotel pages will help, but for a self-catering, home-away-from-home stay in this Caribbean city, the aparthotels here deliver.
