Sofitel Barú Cartagena Beach Resort
Barú, Colombia
On Isla de Barú, south of Cartagena, this 187-room beachfront resort spreads across ten towers between Caribbean shore and tropical forest. Its scale is larger than an intimate island hideaway, but the room mix includes beachfront rooms, suites and larger family penthouses. Interiors pair natural materials with Colombian-made art, while the property’s LEED certification distinguishes its environmental-design credentials.
