Blue Apple Beach

The happiest hotel in the Caribbean

Kick off your shoes and find your happy place. Blue Apple Beach was designed from the start as an escape from the daily grind—a sunny paradise where the music flows as freely as the rosé. The gorgeous Colombian-Caribbean beach takes center stage at the hotel, allowing you to rejuvenate by doing nothing at all, or seize the day with a scuba session or horseback riding. Blue Apple Beach is also dedicated to improving the lives of the residents of Bocachica, a community on an undeveloped island. In 2018, the hotel formed a nonprofit organization called Green Apple to unite several hotels and restaurants in the region in promoting sustainability and reducing waste.

The happiest hotel in the Caribbean may be well-known for its lively weekend dance parties, but it is as dedicated to outstanding hospitality as it is to creating both environmental and social impact.

Blue Apple Beach makes its own granola, yoghurt, goat’s cheese, bread, and pasta, but also buys speciality and artisanal products from outstanding local suppliers. All food served is made to order from fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local suppliers, with majority coming from the nearby Turbaco region. The hotel also practices sustainable fishing and does not serve any at-risk or endangered marine species.

In 2018, the hotel created the Green Apple Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to changing the way waste and natural resources are managed by the hospitality industry in Cartagena. Green Apple currently runs a glass and food waste collection service that has diverted over 90 tons of glass and food waste from landfill. Its glass recycling operation transforms bottles into building-grade sand while food waste is turned into nutrient-rich compost.
