Out of Office Collective to
Colombia
7th to 14th November 2026
Join us on a trip to Colombia.
Located on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, Cartagena is a vibrant coastal city known for its colourful streets, rich history, warm weather and lively culture.
Whether you’re looking to explore the city, relax by the beach, try local food or dance the night away, Cartagena offers something for everyone.
Surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, this destination gives you the perfect mix of city and island life, with opportunities to visit nearby beaches, sail through the Rosario Islands and enjoy the turquoise waters just outside the city.
So, let’s go out of office to Colombia!
For seven nights, we’ll be staying in a stunning 5-star boutique hotel in Cartagena’s most sought-after neighbourhood, placing you right in the heart of the action while offering a peaceful retreat from the energy of the city.
Designed with a blend of contemporary luxury and tropical elegance, the hotel features beautifully appointed rooms, lush courtyard spaces, a state-of-the-art gym, wellness facilities, stylish bars and restaurants, and a spectacular rooftop complete with a swimming pool, sun loungers and panoramic views across Cartagena’s colourful skyline.
Its unbeatable location means Cartagena’s most iconic attractions, vibrant nightlife, award-winning restaurants, rooftop bars and charming colonial streets are all within easy walking distance, allowing you to experience the very best of the city without spending your trip in taxis.
You will be accommodated in a Twin Double Room or King Room.
Twin beds in ‘shared’ rooms are subject to availability.
