Nestling in the forest surrounded by lush vegetation, Hotel Las Islas sits on Colombia’s tranquil seafront on the stunning Caribbean coast offering the perfect eco-luxury refuge. Created using sustainable materials, the hotel’s design blends opulence with rustic charm, giving guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in style in nature’s beauty. This unique resort has become this year’s winner of Luxury Lifestyle Awards in the category of The Best Luxury Hotels in Colombia.

Choose between 23 seafront villas and 32 treetop bungalows, each named for a Colombian island, some with private pools. There’s even a separate island with over 300m of beach for the ultimate in privacy, as well as a spacious two-bedroom catamaran.

The elegantly decorated bungalows are built into their natural setting where the location of the trees determined their position, using pine wood, thatching and pique ropes on the floor. And proving that sustainability and luxury can come together they all enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi, a minibar, 24-hour room service, a television, air conditioning, premium bath products and two bicycles.

Fresh, seasonal cuisine is served in the three restaurants where guests can sample Colombian, International and Caribbean cuisine as well as pizzas and grilled local seafood. And there are three bars with stunning views serving up an array of exotic drinks and local Colombian coffee. Other facilities include a fitness centre, outdoor pool with attentive staff, a clubhouse, solarium, spa with a selection of unique soothing treatments, and a handicraft shop.

As well as the beautiful beach and pools for swimming, there are plenty of activities to suit everyone including snorkelling, diving, kayaking, paddle boarding and canoeing. Or guest can enjoy daily cooking classes, excursions to local national parks or guided tours of Cartagena’s historic city centre – even a helicopter ride over the azure sea and one of the biggest coral reefs in the Caribbean.

“We are delighted to be recognized by Luxury Lifestyle Awards experts as one of the best luxury hotels in Colombia. We are committed to sustainability, impeccable service and the highest standards throughout the resort and it is satisfying to have this rewarded,” says Roberto Negrete, General Manager, Hotel Las Islas.
