Verify us before you pay (and verify everyone else too)
The biggest risk of a Cartagena bachelor or bachelorette party isn't the city — it's wiring money upfront to someone who doesn't exist. Before you send us a dollar, check us:
- National Tourism Registry (RNT) 215668. Mandatory for any tourism operator in Colombia. Look us up by name or number in the public RNT database — and run the same check on any other operator you're comparing.
- How payment works: a deposit to lock your dates and the balance before the trip, with a company invoice. We never ask for 100% upfront or payments to a personal account. If anyone does, walk away.
- Everything in writing: villa, boat, itinerary, and the change and weather policy — all spelled out in your quote before you pay anything.
- Local operator: our own team in Cartagena since 2021 and WhatsApp coordination throughout the trip — not a middleman reselling.

Houses and Villas for Bachelor(ette) Parties in Cartagena 2026-2027: Areas, Capacity and Prices
For a group, renting a full colonial house in Cartagena is more cost-effective and works better than booking hotel rooms: the group stays together, you can hire a private chef, and there's common space for the hours before and after each plan. Houses in the Historic Center and Getsemaní typically run 4 to 12 bedrooms, and include cleaning staff.
Which area to choose for your group
| Area | What it's like | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|
| Historic Center (Walled City) | Colonial houses with a courtyard and small pool, steps from restaurants and rooftops | Bachelor(ette) parties and groups who want to walk out |
| Getsemaní | More bohemian and nightlife-driven, houses somewhat cheaper | Younger groups on a tighter budget |
| Bocagrande | Apartments and high-rise buildings facing the sea | Families and longer stays |
| Barú and the islands | Oceanfront villas with a big pool, away from the city | Groups prioritizing privacy and beach |
What a house managed by us includes
- Cleaning staff during the stay.
- Optional private chef, so the group doesn't have to figure out breakfast and dinner.
- Physical inspection beforehand: we see the house before offering it; you get real photos of the one assigned to you, not a generic listing.
- Private transfers from the airport and for each activity.
- Local concierge 24/7 throughout the trip.

Frequently asked questions about houses and villas in Cartagena
How much does it cost to rent a house for a bachelor(ette) party in Cartagena?
It depends on the number of bedrooms, the area and the season. The cost per person drops a lot as the group grows, since the house is split among everyone. Because we work directly with the owners, we don't charge an agency commission, so you pay the real price. We send options with the per-person price in under 24 hours.
How many people fit in a colonial house in Cartagena?
Historic Center houses usually have between 4 and 12 bedrooms, which sleeps 8 to 24 people depending on the layout. For bigger groups we coordinate two or three nearby houses and keep the logistics unified, with the same transportation and concierge.
Do the houses include staff?
Yes. Most include cleaning staff during the stay. On request we assign a private chef who cooks at the house, which takes care of the group's breakfasts and dinners and usually works out cheaper than eating out every day.
Is a house or a hotel better for a group?
For groups of 8 people and up, almost always the house. It's cheaper per person, the group stays together, there are common areas to gather in, and you can hire a chef. A hotel makes sense for small groups or when everyone wants total independence.
Which area is best to stay in with a group?
The Historic Center if you want to walk out to restaurants and rooftops, which is typical for a bachelor(ette) party. Getsemaní if the budget is tighter and you're after atmosphere. Barú if you prioritize privacy and a big pool, keeping in mind you'll need to travel into the city.
Can you party at the house?
It depends on the house and the Historic Center's residential rules, which include nighttime noise limits. We're upfront about this before booking and suggest houses that fit what the group wants to do, to avoid surprises or fines.
How far in advance should I book?
At least two months, more if you're traveling in dry season (December to April), because the largest-capacity houses go first. Booking two months ahead gets you a 10% discount.
How do I know the house I book actually exists?
We physically inspect every property before offering it, and you receive photos and documentation of the specific house assigned to you, not a generic listing. We're registered operators with RNT 215668 and issue an official receipt for every payment.

Verified facts and sources
Renting a whole house for a group in Cartagena carries two legal conditions worth knowing before you book:
- Tourist accommodation needs an RNT too. Not just agencies: properties used for tourist lodging must be listed in the National Tourism Registry. Check it free in the public RNT database. A house without one can be shut down during your stay.
- Noise is governed by national law, not by the homeowner. Law 1801 of 2016 (the National Code of Security and Coexistence) regulates noise disturbance in residential areas and carries penalties. In the Old City, where most colonial houses sit next door to residents, it is the number-one reason a party gets cut short. Full text: Función Pública legal database.
- Which is why location matters. A house with an enclosed inner courtyard, or one outside the residential core, completely changes how late music can play. That is a selection criterion, not a detail.

Already decided? The next two steps are open on the site rather than behind a call: the day-by-day itinerary for 3, 4 and 5 nights — which day the boat goes, when the big night lands and what to book first — and how payment works: deposit, balance, company invoice, and what must be in writing before you pay anything.
How many of you are there? Group size decides which house and which boat fit, and what each person pays: Cartagena bachelor party by group size, 6 to 20+ people.
Three more worth reading before you decide
- How it compares: Cartagena vs Las Vegas, Nashville, Miami and Scottsdale — dimension by dimension, including where Cartagena loses.
- Colombia beyond Cartagena: the best bachelor party destinations in Colombia, and when Medellín is the better call.
- The safety question, answered with sources: is Cartagena safe for a bachelor party.
The five pages that answer the rest
All of it is open on the site, with no form in the way:
- The number, now: the budget calculator — people, nights and level, and it returns the per-person price with the breakdown.
- Which house and which boat fit a group of 6, 12 or 18: by group size.
- Which day each thing goes on: the 3, 4 and 5-night itinerary, with the five mistakes groups repeat most.
- If someone offers you a fixed package: what it must include before you can compare it.
- How to pay without risking the deposit: deposit, invoice and what goes in writing.
- If you want somebody local running it on the ground: what a Cartagena concierge covers, and what it costs per day.
Higher-end options
- A staffed villa inside the walls — from about 600 USD per night for a house sleeping 16, billed per house, with the house manager, private chef and driver as separate lines. The full breakdown.
- Private yacht or boat charter — 850 to 3,800 USD per boat per day by size, with the licence, passenger insurance and port clearance attached. What a "yacht" actually is here.
- A wedding weekend — everything around the ceremony: the house for the family, the welcome dinner, the island day for guests and every transfer. How it works.
- Travel advisors and agencies — net rates on request and one point of contact. The advisor page.

Send these five things and nothing else is needed: the dates or the month, how many nights, how many people, what is non-negotiable for this group, and the city everyone is flying from.
- Within 24 hours on a working day you get two or three houses or boats that actually fit those dates, with what we checked on each one, and an itemised quote: each line priced separately, what is included and what is not, and the payment calendar. No agency fee.
- You choose. Nothing is held or booked until you confirm in writing. If nothing fits, we say so instead of pushing a substitute.
- Deposit against a company invoice — never 100% upfront, never to a personal account — and each traveller can pay her own share and receive her own receipt.
- One named contact on WhatsApp before, during and after the trip, who answers at eleven at night on the 31st. RNT 215668, verifiable in the public Colombian registry.
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.
