Cartagena is where the world comes to welcome the New Year — sun-kissed by the Caribbean, surrounded by history, and alive with glamour. Each December, the city becomes the ultimate stage for celebration. Furthermore, if you want to do New Year’s Eve in Cartagena in true, effortless luxury, one thing is certain — you must plan ahead.
With every passing year, Cartagena’s NYE buzz grows louder, and its guest lists shorter. Therefore, the most beautiful colonial villas, five-star rooftops, and luxury yachts are booked months in advance. That’s why travellers who want a seamless, world-class experience trust Colombia Luxury Group to make it happen.
Cartagena’s best houses are booked before Easter, and consequently, the most coveted yachts are gone by fall. Restaurants such as Carmen, Marea, or 1621 fill up with international guests who made their reservations long before boarding their flights. In the meantime, with our concierge service, you won’t be scrambling — you’ll be celebrating.
Colombia Luxury Group ensures your private villa, yacht and VIP tables are locked in early. Moreover, from airport transfers in luxury SUVs to exclusive after-parties, every moment is curated for perfection.
Here are some of the confirmed standout events for New Year’s Eve in Cartagena. Besides that, our concierge coordinates every detail so you simply enjoy the night:
NYE Feast & Fireworks at El Baluarte San Francisco Javier (Wed, December 31, 2025) — open-air gala dinner, live performances, and prime views of the fireworks above Cartagena’s Bay. Colombia Luxury Group provides VIP access and table reservations. Colombia Luxury Group
New Year’s Bay Dinner & Catamaran Celebration — sail into midnight with music, fireworks and elevated service aboard a private catamaran in Cartagena Bay. In fact, this experience defines luxury on the water. Colombia Luxury Group
Hotel Las Islas, Barú – Year-End Gala Dinner (Dec 31) — on Isla Barú, a gala dinner with stations of gastronomy, entertainment and a beachside setting. Colombia Luxury Group organizes transfers and exclusive seating. Colombia Luxury Group

And then there’s the one everyone whispers about. Each year, a secret-location pop-up becomes the epicenter of New Year’s Eve in Cartagena, and for 2025/26, that’s We Are US.
An invitation-only experience, We Are US Party brings together international DJs, artists, and the global jet-set inside a historic venue revealed only hours before midnight. Moreover, the atmosphere feels electric — candlelit courtyards, handcrafted cocktails, and world-class beats under Cartagena’s night sky.
Entry is limited, private, and nearly impossible without the right connections — nevertheless, Colombia Luxury Group gets you in. Our concierge team secures your VIP access, arranges luxury transfers, and ensures your group is on the guest list long before the location is revealed.
This is Cartagena’s most elusive celebration — and with Colombia Luxury Group, you’re already on the inside.
Beach club recovery day: Many of the city’s top beach clubs also extend into January 1 for day-long celebrations on the islands — therefore, planning early is crucial. Afterwards, we arrange your cabanas at Makani, Blue Apple, Bora Bora, Capri, or Dharma, complete with champagne service and private transfers.
This isn’t just a party — it’s your moment.
Choose from restored colonial houses in the Walled City or ocean-view penthouses in Bocagrande. Every reservation with us includes a private chef, sommelier-curated cocktails and 24/7 concierge service.
Board your luxury yacht from Cartagena’s marina at dusk. Champagne on ice, curated soundtrack, and as midnight strikes you anchor beneath the fireworks — meanwhile, your crew ensures everything flows perfectly for you and your guests.
Whether you choose Makani, Blue Apple, Bora Bora, Capri or Dharma, we arrange priority cabanas, bottle service and seamless transport. Consequently, you spend more time celebrating and less time coordinating.
We secure VIP tables at the city’s top New Year’s galas and rooftop events. In addition, you skip queues, enjoy open bars and live music from the best seats in the house.
When the clock hits midnight, the sky above Cartagena bursts into color. The best vantage points include the historic city walls near Sofitel Legend Santa Clara, as well as the rooftop terraces throughout the Walled City. The deck of your private yacht anchored in Cartagena Bay offers an equally breathtaking view.
Ultimately, with Colombia Luxury Group, you’ll be in the right spot at the right time — champagne in hand.
One of the greatest things about New Year’s Eve in Cartagena is the next-day recovery. Swim in turquoise water, lounge at a luxury beach club, enjoy a spa massage under the palms and, finally, toast the year ahead.
Whether you’re anchored off the Rosario Islands or relaxing at Blue Apple with a DJ in the background, the day after the party can be just as memorable.
