Just 75 minutes from Medellín, the shores of Guatapé reservoir hide what might be the most unique accommodation experience in Colombia: luxury glamping under the stars, with a jacuzzi, total privacy, and a view that erases every trace of city stress the moment you arrive.
If you've been searching for glamping near Medellín that actually delivers on the promise of nature without sacrificing comfort, Guatapé delivers, and Medellin Group works directly with the two best options on the water.
What Is Glamping, and Why Guatapé?
Glamping (glamorous camping) means sleeping outdoors in a fully equipped, designed space: real beds, private bathrooms, electricity, and often extras like jacuzzis or heating, all set within a natural landscape you'd never find in a hotel.
Guatapé is the ideal setting for this. The reservoir (the largest artificial lake in Colombia) creates a microclimate that's cooler and cleaner than Medellín, with open skies, minimal light pollution, and total quiet at night. It's close enough for a weekend escape but feels completely removed from the city.
Bubble Sky Glamping: Sleep Inside a Transparent Capsule
Bubble Sky Glamping offers transparent bubble-shaped capsules elevated on a platform above the ground, giving you a 360° panoramic view of Guatapé's landscape, day and night.
What's Included
- King-size bed with orthopedic mattress
- Private outdoor jacuzzi with hot water
- Air conditioning
- WiFi
- Gas BBQ (with products to prepare breakfast)
- Catamaran hammock mesh
- Private bathroom
- 24-hour service
The Experience
The capsules are for 2 people maximum, adults only. Each bubble is positioned away from the others, so privacy is total. You fall asleep watching stars through the transparent ceiling and wake up to a full sunrise without leaving the bed. The outdoor jacuzzi with hot water, set against the open landscape, is the highlight of the stay.
Location: Vda. La Piedra-El Anillo, Guatapé, Antioquia

Swiss Glamping: Rated One of the Best Rooms in the World
Swiss Glamping holds a remarkable distinction: it has been rated the #2 room in the world by guests. With only 6 rooms on the entire property, each set far apart from the others, this is as exclusive as glamping gets in Colombia.
What Makes It Special
- Eco-design: entire room runs on just 55 watts (same as a single light bulb)
- Only 6 rooms, each fully private
- Heated mattress for cold nights
- Panoramic views of Guatapé reservoir
- Designed exclusively for couples
Things to Know Before You Go
On sunny days the room heats up and light enters early, perfect for catching the sunrise. Nights are cool but the heated mattress handles it. Being surrounded by nature means insects exist, so bring repellent. No pets, no children. This is for couples looking to disconnect completely.
