The Best 2027 Dates for a Cartagena Bachelor Party
Updated: October 20, 2026 · CABÚ Viajes, local operator in Cartagena, RNT 215668.
Cartagena's best big-group houses get claimed 6 to 10 months out, so picking your 2027 bachelor or bachelorette dates is a decision for now, not later. Here is the honest calendar: how each month behaves, which dates sell out first, and when to move each piece.
2027 month by month: weather, demand and price
Low season in Cartagena 2027: September and October, with the lowest group demand and the best prices of the year. High season: 20 December to mid-January, Holy Week (21 to 28 March) and June–July. Month by month:
| 2027 month | Weather | Group demand | Price level |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Dry and windy ("la brisa"): choppier seas for boat day | High first half, medium after | High → medium |
| February | Dry, breeze continues | Medium, with holiday-weekend spikes | Medium |
| March | Dry, wind eases | High at the end: Holy Week (Mar 22–28) | Medium → high |
| April | Dry early, first rains late | Medium | Medium |
| May | Scattered rain, calm seas | Medium, rising into Memorial Day (May 29–31) | Medium |
| June–July | Mid-year dry spell, good seas | High: summer groups + July 4th weekend | High |
| August | Hot, scattered rain | Medium-high, Labor Day (Sep 4–6) books here | Medium-high |
| September | Rainiest month along with October | Low: best prices of the year | Low |
| October | Frequent rain (short downpours, not washed-out days) | Low | Low |
| November | Rain tapering; Cartagena Independence festivities (Nov 11); Thanksgiving (Nov 25–28) | Medium | Medium |
| December | Dry season begins | Peak of the year from the 20th | Peak |
Weather is statistics, not a promise — the official reference is IDEAM. And a Cartagena downpour usually lasts an hour, not a day.
The 2027 dates that sell out first
- Long weekends built for a 3-night trip: MLK (Jan 15–18), Presidents Day (Feb 12–15), Memorial Day (May 29–31), July 4th (falls on a Sunday — most groups take Jul 2–5), Labor Day (Sep 4–6) and Thanksgiving (Nov 25–28).
- Holy Week (Mar 22–28): Latin America's biggest travel week — competition for houses from Colombian and Mexican groups too.
- Summer Saturdays (June–July): peak bachelor season; June Saturdays get claimed from March.
- New Year's 2027–28: houses go in September–October. How December works: our New Year in Cartagena guide.
The move almost nobody makes: September and October
If your group can pick freely, September and October 2027 are the cheapest months of the year for the same villa, the same boat and the same city. More rain — in one-hour downpours, almost never full days — in exchange for low-season pricing and full availability. For a villa-boat-nightlife trip, that trade is usually worth it.
When to move each piece for a 2027 date
- 6–10 months out: the house. It is the scarce piece; a deposit locks it and everything else builds around it.
- 3–5 months out: the boat (especially catamarans and cabin yachts — there are few) and flights.
- 1–2 months out: chef, dinners, club tables, transport.

Frequently asked questions
When is low season in Cartagena in 2027?
September and October 2027: the months with the lowest group demand and the best prices of the year, with rain in short one-hour showers, rarely whole days. High season runs from 20 December to mid-January, Holy Week (21 to 28 March 2027) and June–July. February, May and August sit at mid-level prices.
What is the best time in 2027 for a Cartagena bachelor party?
December through April is the dry, high-demand season; June–July brings the mid-year dry spell and summer crowds. The best price-weather balance is usually February, May and August; the best pure price, September and October.
How far ahead should we book for 2027?
The house 6–10 months out for hot dates (Holy Week, long weekends, summer, December); the boat 3–5; everything else 1–2. Off-peak dates are more forgiving.
Is January good for boat day?
It is dry and beautiful, but it is breeze season: the sea is choppier and the island run less comfortable. If boat day is the heart of the trip, the friendliest seas run May through September.
When is Holy Week 2027?
Monday March 22 through Sunday March 28, 2027 — the most requested week of the first half of the year in Cartagena.

December and the first week of January are quoted on the actual house, in writing, because those two weeks sell out first.
Tell us what you need and get it back in 24 hours
You do not need to have it all decided. With these four things we send a real quote, not a brochure:
- Dates (or the month) and how many nights.
- How many people. Here you pay per unit: the house, the boat and the van cost the same for 8 people as for 16, so the headcount moves the per-person price a lot.
- What is non-negotiable for the group: an island day on a private boat, a chef at the house, a club table.
- Where you are flying from, and whether everyone lands the same day.
In under 24 hours you get an itemized breakdown per unit with what is included and what is not, plus the payment schedule: a deposit to hold the house and the balance before the trip, against a company invoice. No agency fee and no commitment — the quote is a draft open to changes, and nothing is reserved until you confirm.
