Casa San Agustin Opens New Aurum Spa in Cartagena
Inspired by gold and natural elements, in a nod to Cartagena’s ancient history and El Dorado lore, the spa will offer a range of full-body treatments harnessing local ingredients and mystical practices to promote relaxation and awakening.

Latin for “Gold” and “shining dawn,” gold is the symbol of radiance, health and new beginnings. Pre-Colombian civilizations revered the Sun as an important deity thought to reside on Earth in its physical form as gold. The element has long been associated with healing and mystical properties, as well as its qualities of protection and harmony with nature.

This, together with Cartagena’s aura of Magical Realism, is the foundation of the Aurum Spa at Casa San Agustin.
