There’s a time of year when Cartagena de Indias shines even brighter: December. Christmas lights illuminate the city walls, the plazas teem with life, traditions blend with history, and the Caribbean offers unforgettable sunsets. For those seeking to end the year in a place with soul, culture, and warmth, Mustique offers a tailor-made experience.
A city that vibrates with history, flavor, and celebration.
Cartagena is not just a destination, it’s a feeling. Walking through its Historic Center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is like stepping into a scene brimming with charm, music, aromas, and color. December transforms the walled city into a magical place: hanging lights, colonial nativity scenes, religious celebrations, and a vibrant mix of local and international culture.

The squares are filled with live music.
The December breeze refreshes the walks along the walls.
The festive spirit is felt from every balcony, church, and corner.
Two ways to experience December with Mustique
1. In the Heart of Cartagena
Staying in our houses in the Historic Center is to experience the city from within.
- Steps away from plazas, private dining and vibrant nightlife.
- Elegantly restored colonial houses, perfect for families or groups seeking an intimate experience.
- Welcoming spaces to toast, share and relax amidst history.
2. In the Tranquility of Barú
If you prefer to escape the hustle and bustle without leaving the charm of Cartagena, Agua Barú by Mustique is the answer.
- A boutique house nestled between vegetation and the sea, where the Caribbean feels more serene.
- Private dinners under the stars, afternoons of reading by the sea, and a disconnection that reconnects.
- Ideal for families who want to start the year surrounded by nature and exclusivity.
A new year, made just for you
Although we do not hold events open to the public, our hotels are transformed into temporary homes for those who wish to experience this season with intimacy, warmth and good taste.
- Full house option: perfect for sharing with family.
- Concierge available to arrange private toasts, restaurant reservations, tailor-made experiences or island tours.
- No crowds, no chaos: just the essentials for a different New Year’s Eve.
What if you decide to go out to sea?
You can add a trip on our private boats to your stay. A day exploring the Rosario Islands, lunch in Agua Barú, or a sunset over Cartagena Bay can be the perfect way to end the year.
This December, travel to the rhythm of the waves or the chime of colonial bells. Experience Cartagena with the Mustique touch.
