Amarla's welcome cocktail? Something tropical of course
Cartagena's colonial architecture is mostly untouched by time
The lobby, or is it your dream home? I could live here
The romanticism of the courtyard restaurant will delight you! It's a timeless experience
Seafood casuela, one of Cartagena's traditional dishes that always hits the spot
"Romancing the Stone"
The rooms include sexy silk robes ;)
Love the celebration of nature all over
You're not in Cartagena unless you have your own colonial balcony, so try to score the rooms with it!
Oh the rooftop pool, isn't it perfect? It's such a great place to relax away from the buzz of the streets
The views of the Cathedral from the rooftop, here you can see wild parrots sing and fly by during sunrise and sunset, music to my ears!
Careful with this little corner oasis, you may just fall in love here...
The panoramic views of the old town "Centro" and the Caribbean sea
A little hint of Bali
Classic "Cartagenero" breakfast: scrambled eggs, empanadas, fruit salad, coffee, and fresh juice
How about hosting a dinner party here?
There's lots of great art in unexpected places
Look closer, and you'll find some hidden treasures
More lush green please
Highs & Lows

The 17th century building itself is so beautiful. One may dream of living in a place like that. It's a classic Cartagena experience. Very romantic.
-
The rooftop area and pool are wonderful amenities. Lounge around and swim during the day, and have drinks or dinner at night under the moon and stars.
-
Centrally located, in walking distance to everything that Cartagena has to offer. You may only need a taxi to/from the airport. Just make sure to arrange pickups with the hotel beforehand.
-
The interior design is outstanding. It is intentional and never pretentious. The owners spent time in Bali and you can see many influences in the décor.

Sorry pet owners, no pups allowed.

Future Forward
Amarla supports two local foundations that do great work in the community with positive impact on the people and wildlife of Cartagena. Inspiring the young with Colegio Del Cuerpo — a foundation that has had over 8,000 young people pass through their program. They focus on teaching disenfranchised youngsters about opportunities beyond the perceived socio-economic limits through dance. Their top dancers travel the world and perform in cities such as New York and Seoul. The second is Dones de Misericordia — a local charity that runs an orphanage, social programs for the young people of Tierra Bomba, one of Cartagena’s poorest and most overlooked communities, and a home for elderly people who are found living on the streets or without help from family, friends, or the government
