Experience Colombia your way.

Private houses in Cartagena's walled city, a private island in the Rosario Islands, and every detail arranged before you arrive.

A warmer way to experience Colombia

ALZUR is two things. A collection of private houses inside Cartagena's walled city — colonial mansions with courtyard pools, rooftop bars and a full team behind them. And an island of our own in the Rosario Islands, reserved for one group at a time. Both are yours entirely for the length of your stay.

  • Private homes

    Restored colonial houses in the Old City, taken whole. Courtyard pools, rooftop terraces and room for everyone you are travelling with.

  • A private island

    The last island in the Rosario chain, 45 minutes out of Cartagena. Seven beach zones, a pool and nobody else on it but your group.

  • Personal support

    One person who knows the houses, answers your messages and arranges the boat, the chef and the transfers before you land.

How it works

  1. 1

    Discover

    Look through the houses and the island. The photographs are the real thing, and there are plenty of them.

  2. 2

    Plan

    Tell us your dates and who is coming. We match you to the house that actually fits.

  3. 3

    Arrive

    Transfers, the chef, the boat, the table you wanted. Arranged before you land.

  4. 4

    Enjoy

    Settle in. The house is staffed and the only thing left to decide is dinner.

Meet the founder

I started ALZUR to share the Colombia I know — the one that is warm, unhurried and full of places that stay with you long after you leave.
