WELCOME TO CASA ZAHMAR
Casa Zahmar offers the kind of escape where the world can’t find you. Set on Isla Tierra Bomba, it’s just 15 minutes by boat from Cartagena, with four luxury bungalows overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
Designed for private stays of up to 14 guests, Casa Zahmar is island life at its best, with a private beach, natural caves, and endless space to disconnect.
Each of the four bungalows exude Cartagena’s coastal charm with traditional Colombian craft, while the central Gaviotas Lounge and infinity pool set the tone for slow, sun-soaked days. The setting is intimate, the service thoughtful, and the atmosphere effortlessly relaxed.

What to do at Casa Zahmar
Find your rhythm between Caribbean stillness and curated adventure with experiences tailored to your group.
Start slow with yoga on the terrace or a Tibetan massage, then head out to explore the coast by kayak or horseback. Venture further on a private yacht to the Rosario Islands for snorkelling, or visit Cartagena’s colonial centre with a local guide.
Back on Tierra Bomba, discover the island’s historic fortifications, or unwind with a Caribbean cooking class and rum tasting, not forgetting a dip in the infinity pool overlooking the sea. As the sun sets, enjoy quiet moments on the private beach or candlelit dinners in one of the nearby natural caves.
When to Travel
December to April
The best time to visit Casa Zahmar is during Cartagena’s dry season, from December to April, when the weather is warm, sunny, and ideal for beach days, boat trips, and outdoor dining. Expect daytime temperatures around 30°C, cooled by Caribbean breezes. The wet season runs from May to November, bringing occasional tropical showers with lush landscapes and fewer crowds.
