Puerto Calma | Work-Life Balance + Pool & Wi-Fi

Puerto Calma offers a different perspective on Cartagena, especially if you’re visiting for work, business, or a long-term stay. From the 24th floor, you can watch Contecar and the port in action while working from the apartment, resting in two A/C bedrooms, or enjoying the pool, gym, and soccer field. A space designed to bring work, downtime, and everyday living together in one place.

Puerto Calma is arranged so work and personal time can happen without competing for the same space. The desk gives you a dedicated place to focus during the day, while the living room remains available for relaxing, watching TV, or simply looking out from the 24th floor as activity at Contecar changes throughout the day.

Both bedrooms have a double bed and A/C, allowing four guests to stay comfortably while keeping their own space. The living room sofa converts into an additional bed when extra capacity is needed, bringing the maximum to six. The kitchen works for everyday meals, and the washer makes longer stays easier without relying on outside laundry services.

The balcony connects the apartment with one of its most distinctive features: the working harbor below. Start the morning with coffee as the port comes to life, watch ships and cranes throughout the day, or catch the sunset over the bay. The apartment also includes hot water, TVs in the living room and primary bedroom, and a portable fan for the social area.

You’ll have exclusive use of the entire apartment throughout your stay, giving you the freedom to organize your days just as you would at home. The digital lock makes coming and going easy, especially during a longer stay when work, meetings, errands, and plans around Cartagena may all happen on different schedules.

You’ll also be able to use the building’s available shared amenities when you want a change of setting without leaving Newport. Spend some time by the pool, play a soccer match, or use the gym after work or during the weekend.

Communal parking is also available subject to availability. Because spaces are shared, a permanent parking spot cannot be guaranteed.

We’re not based in Cartagena, but we have a local team ready to help with anything you may Puerto Calma is designed to give you independence without leaving you on your own when assistance is needed. Before arrival, we’ll coordinate the check-in process and share the information you need to settle in easily from the first day.

Throughout your stay, we’ll remain available by message for questions about the apartment, the building, or any operational issue that may come up. We’ll also follow up after check-in to make sure the Wi-Fi, access, A/C, and other essentials are working as expected.

Beyond that, we’ll respect your privacy. During a long-term stay, the apartment should feel like your own space rather than somewhere the host is constantly stepping in.

Puerto Calma is located at Newport Apartamentos, directly across from Contecar and connected to Cartagena’s Mamonal corridor. For guests visiting for work or business, the location provides practical access to the port and industrial areas, while the Historic Center, Getsemaní, San Felipe Castle and La Popa are approximately 20–30 minutes away by car. Bocagrande and Castillogrande beaches are generally around 30–40 minutes away, depending on traffic.

Heading south is also convenient from this side of the city: Playa Blanca is approximately 30 minutes away, making a beach day in Barú an easy option when work is done. Rafael Núñez International Airport is approximately 14 km from Newport; we recommend allowing around 30–45 minutes for the drive depending on traffic and time of day.

Supermarkets and everyday services are available nearby in El Campestre, which becomes particularly useful during a long-term stay.
