Casa Carolina is a luxury lifestyle retreat located in the heart of Cartagena’s Walled City in Colombia.

Located in the heart of Cartagena’s historic center in Colombia, Casa Carolina is a luxury boutique hotel and lifestyle retreat where history, charm, and well-being converge. Set within a restored 16th-century mansion, the hotel offers guests an intimate stay filled with colonial charm that prioritizes wellness.

The property has 15 elegantly designed rooms and suites in six distinct styles with design details that honor the hotel’s historic roots. Amenities include a rooftop terrace with city views and two outdoor pools, a yoga shala offering a space for yoga and holistic wellness practices, a cafe that serves fresh and locally-sourced dishes, and a spa that specializes in ancestral and Ayurvedic treatments.

Casa Carolina’s spa is a space dedicated to well-being where each treatment combines innovation, holistic techniques, and a personalized approach. We chatted with Caroline Soetaert Tchekhoff, Owner of Casa Carolina, who shared more information about the spa’s amenities, treatments to try, and more.

The boutique hotel offers guests an inviting atmosphere where they will be captivated by the grandeur of colonial architecture.

Why You’ll Love It: Our guests at Casa Carolina love that our spa it’s not just a spa—it’s a wellness journey crafted uniquely for them. Every treatment is rooted in the ancient science of Ayurveda, which honors the balance of body, mind, and spirit.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, each ritual is tailored to the guests unique body, emotional state, and energy. It’s a deeply personal journey; one that sees the whole person, not just the stress they enter with.

Key Features: Everything at Casa Carolina Spa is designed to nourish the body and senses. From our ultra-soft, eco-friendly Moroccan cotton robes and linens to our all-natural products infused with Ayurvedic herbs, every detail supports your well-being.

After your treatment, guests have the opportunity to relax at our onsite cafe, the Just B Wellness Café, and enjoy a wellness drink or dish crafted with Ayurvedic superfoods. It’s a full-circle wellness experience.

Two swimming pools are located on the hotel’s rooftop terrace and offer guests a place to relax.

Insider Tip: Don’t wait for stress or sickness to start caring for your well-being. Prevention is the most luxurious form of self-care. Let wellness be your daily ritual, not your last resort. Your body is a masterpiece, but even masterpieces need maintenance. These are just some of the messages we want to share with our guests as they experience our spa and wellness offerings.

An insider’s tip? Embrace the growing spirit of wellness in Cartagena itself. The city is evolving, known for its rich history, colonial beauty, and Caribbean charm; Cartagena is also emerging as a destination for mindful travel and rejuvenation.

Whether it’s taking a moment of reflection on the beach, seeking out fresh, nourishing local cuisine, or dedicating time to rest and ritual at our spa, travelers are invited to slow down and make well-being part of their journey. At Casa Carolina, we believe that wellness is not just something you do—it's something you live, and there's no better place to start than here.

The rooftop terrace offers sweeping views of the city.

Bonus: One of the most beautiful surprises is our passionate team–each of our therapists is deeply trained in Ayurveda and brings a sense of presence, compassion, and expertise to every session. The spa itself feels more like a home than a facility: it’s warm, welcoming, and rich in grounding energy. Many guests arrive as visitors but leave feeling like part of the Casa Carolina family.

Snacks Served: At the Just B Wellness Café, everything we serve is organic, locally sourced, and deeply nourishing. Our menu blends Ayurvedic principles with tropical Colombian flavors, supporting not just your health but also local farmers. From herbal teas to nutrient-rich smoothies, every sip and bite is both delicious and intentional. We welcome all spa guests to visit the cafe for a nourishing meal post-treatment.

The hotel’s open-air patio features a relaxing water feature in the center.

Splurge Treatment: The Head-to-Toe Renewal is our signature indulgence. This treatment merges deep bodywork with facial rejuvenation for a full-body reset. You’ll leave radiating vitality, glowing from the inside out, and energetically renewed.

Casa Carolina’s spa is a space dedicated to well-being where each treatment combines innovation, holistic techniques, and a personalized approach.

Insider’s Favorite: The 90-minute Detox Massage. It’s more than just a massage, it’s a holistic reset. Using gentle lymphatic drainage techniques, this treatment helps reduce fluid retention and releases deep tissue disorder. In a world full of toxins (in the air, in our food, even in our tech), this therapy acts like a deep cleanser on your whole being. You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and ready for life.

The spa offers Ayurvedic treatments that harmonize body, mind, and spirit with ancient traditions.

Most Unique Treatment: The Abhyanga Four-Hands Massage is truly one-of-a-kind. Two synchronized therapists use warm herbal oils in a rhythm designed to harmonize your energy, stimulate circulation, and deeply detoxify. It’s an immersive Ayurvedic ritual that feels like a meditative dance, restoring you on every level.

The spa at Casa Carolina incorporates luxury Colombian brand Loto del Sur into its treatments.

Featured Products: We proudly use Loto del Sur, a Colombian luxury brand that beautifully merges nature, science, and soul. Their formulas are rich in botanical activities, ethically sourced, and inspired by the biodiversity of our land. Every product feels like a sacred gift to your skin; it’s pure, powerful, and deeply respectful of people and the planet.

Supporting local and Colombian-born brands is a core value at Casa Carolina. We are deeply rooted in our community, and featuring Loto del Sur allows us to uplift the creativity, sustainability, and innovation coming from within our country. It’s a brand we’re proud to share with our guests.
