The Sofitel Baru Calablanca Beach Resort aquatic sanctuary showcases 4 alluring pools, each with its own distinct personality and atmosphere. The moods and rhythms of the pools change by the hour under the influence of the shifting arc of the Colombian Caribbean sun—breathtakingly serene at sunrise, glistening at high noon and a magical canvas of color as the day bows to evening. The infinity edge pools located in the lower area of the resort and closer to the sea are designed to enjoy the sun. The light toned stone offers the feeling of being in the sea. Meanwhile, the pools in the upper area are surrounded by trees and materials in richer green tones, which give the perception of being under the shade, a place of tranquility and rest in the middle of nature and with a more distant view of the sea.
