Destination Wedding in Cartagena: Why Éteka Remains the Favorite Seaside Wedding Hotel

If you’re looking for the perfect destination wedding venue in Cartagena—one that marries natural beauty, exceptional design, and authentic Caribbean flair—Éteka is an unmissable gem.

Nestled on a private island just a 10-minute boat ride from the walled city, Éteka is far more than a beach wedding hotel. For seven years it has set the standard for style, sustainability, and exclusivity—chosen by celebrities, creatives, and high-profile travelers who value beauty, intimacy, and distinction. Locals even call it “the celebrity hotel.”

☀️ What Makes Éteka the Perfect Place for Your Cartagena Wedding?

  • Bioclimatic Architecture & Coastal-Chic Design: Uses natural materials, organic textures, and shapes inspired by the island landscape—everything flows seamlessly with nature.

  • Instagram-Worthy Spaces Everywhere: Two private beaches, a biophilic-design pool, wooden decks, native gardens, a lookout over the colonial city, and Cartagena’s most beautiful spa.

  • Signature Caribbean Cuisine: Renowned as the best on the islands, our menu fuses local ingredients with gourmet techniques for a truly memorable sensory experience.
