How much does glamping near Medellín cost?

Rates change a lot by room, weekday and season. As a rough guide, a night for two often begins around COP 350,000 to COP 600,000 at simpler properties. Well-known Guatapé stays can easily reach COP 700,000 to COP 1,500,000 or more.

Before comparing prices, check what is included. Breakfast, a private jacuzzi, dinner, taxes, massages and activities can turn what looks like a cheap room into a much more expensive stay.

Weekdays are normally cheaper and quieter.

Colombian holiday weekends often sell out early.

Some special rates are non-refundable.

Decorations, dinners and romantic packages usually cost extra.

Paying directly may include small benefits, but compare the cancellation policy first.

1. Botánico Glamping: the easiest escape from Medellín

Botánico is in the hills above Copacabana, north of Medellín. Its biggest advantage is not a giant lake or famous landmark. It is simply close enough for a one-night trip that does not require half a day in traffic.

The property offers several styles of accommodation in a green rural setting. Private jacuzzis and meal packages are part of the appeal, but the stay feels smaller and less hotel-like than the large premium properties around Guatapé.

Why choose it

It is one of the closest established glamping options to Medellín.

A good choice for a birthday or quick overnight when time is limited.

Copacabana can be reached using the Metro to Niquía followed by local transport.

What to consider

The final part of the journey is outside the urban centre, so confirm the exact route and return transport before leaving. A rural property can feel very close by car and surprisingly awkward without one.

Check current rooms and booking information through Botánico Glamping’s official Instagram profile.

2. El Ojo Glamping: mountain views near San Félix

El Ojo is in San Félix, northwest of Medellín. The area is known for open ridges, paragliding and broad views across the mountains. It feels more exposed and dramatic than the greener, enclosed properties around Copacabana.

This is a good option when the view is the main reason for going. It is also close enough for a short escape, although travel time depends heavily on where you start and on traffic through Bello.

Why choose it

Panoramic mountain and valley views.

Closer to Medellín than Guatapé.

Easy to combine with paragliding or a meal in San Félix.

What to consider

San Félix is cooler and windier than central Medellín, especially at night. Pack a warm layer. If you are combining the stay with paragliding, remember that flights depend on the weather and are never guaranteed.

See the latest accommodation details on the El Ojo Glamping website.

3. BubbleSky: for a romantic stay under a transparent roof

BubbleSky is built around the idea most people picture when they hear the word glamping: a transparent or partly transparent room where you can look at the sky from bed. Its current property is in the Guatapé area and is designed mainly for couples.

The units include private bathrooms, jacuzzis and breakfast. Some are bubbles and others are more conventional cabins, so check the exact room rather than assuming every booking has a fully transparent roof.

Why choose it

A clear romantic focus and plenty of privacy.

Private jacuzzis and transparent-roof options.

Useful when the accommodation itself is the main activity.

What to consider

Transparent rooms look excellent in photographs, but they are not automatically better for sleeping. Ask about curtains, morning light, temperature control and privacy. BubbleSky allows pets in some cabins but not inside its bubble units.

Current room types and policies are available on the BubbleSky website.

4. Bosko: the luxury option in Guatapé

Bosko has moved well beyond simple glamping. It is now a small luxury hotel in native forest, with ten rooms for two people, views of the reservoir and Piedra del Peñol, a restaurant, infinity pools and paid experiences.

The rooms are modern dome-like structures rather than basic tents. Some have private jacuzzis or plunge pools, outdoor showers and large terraces. This is the place on the list for an anniversary or special weekend when the budget is less important than the overall experience.

Why choose it

Only about one kilometre from both Guatapé and Piedra del Peñol.

Lake views, restaurant service, pools, spa treatments and water activities.

A polished hotel experience rather than a self-catering rural stay.

What to consider

Bosko is expensive, and that price is partly for service, design and location. Travellers looking for a rustic or quiet budget escape may find better value elsewhere. It is aimed at couples; the property describes its ten rooms as accommodation for two.

Room details and direct booking are on the Bosko website.

5. Domus Glamping: a dome directly beside the reservoir

Domus sits on the shore of the reservoir between El Peñol and Guatapé. It has six dome-style tents built on decks, all designed for two people. The strongest reason to choose it is the water: the rooms face the reservoir and the property offers food and water-based activities.

Also in Guatapé, but right on the reservoir, five minutes from the town itself. Domus runs architecturally striking domes designed to maximize the lake view, with private jacuzzis, terraces, hammocks, and small balconies that hang out toward the water. Rates start around COP 690,000 for two, breakfast included, and bookings are non-refundable, so be sure of your dates. A few guests have mentioned road noise from the main highway, worth weighing if you sleep lightly. Two hours from Medellín.

Current direct rates begin at roughly COP 667,000 for the Lake Room and COP 725,000 for the Lake Suite, although prices vary by date. Breakfast and the exact room benefits should be confirmed when booking.

Why choose it

A genuine lakefront setting rather than a distant reservoir view.

Only six units, which keeps the property relatively small.

Good for travellers who want to stay near Guatapé without sleeping in town.

What to consider

The property is near the road connecting El Peñol and Guatapé. Light sleepers should ask about the position of the room. Also check cancellation terms carefully; discounted glamping rates are often less flexible than normal hotel bookings.

See current rooms and rates on the Domus Glamping website.

6. Entre Verdes: warmer weather west of Medellín

Entre Verdes is in Ebéjico, west of Medellín. It offers a different setting from the cool eastern highlands and the Guatapé reservoir. Days are generally warmer, the sunsets are a major part of the experience and the property mixes cabins, bungalows and glamping-style accommodation.

Facilities commonly listed include a pool, restaurant, jacuzzi, spa areas and walking spaces. It is more of a rural resort than a single romantic bubble, which can make it a better fit for travellers who care more about relaxing than about the room looking unusual.

Why choose it

Usually better value than the premium Guatapé properties.

Warmer daytime weather and sunset views.

A useful alternative when you have already visited eastern Antioquia.

What to consider

Public transport is less straightforward, so driving or arranging a transfer is usually easier. Reviews and room standards can vary between accommodation types. Check whether you are reserving a dome, cabin, chalet or normal room.

Current availability can be checked through Entre Verdes on Booking.com or the property directly.

Which glamping option should you choose?

Your priority	Best fit
The shortest journey	Botánico Glamping
Mountain views near the city	El Ojo Glamping
A transparent-roof romantic stay	BubbleSky
The best full luxury experience	Bosko
A private dome beside the lake	Domus Glamping
Warm weather and a lower budget	Entre Verdes

Do you need a car?

A car makes almost every glamping trip easier. Rural properties are often several kilometres from the nearest town, and the final road may not have frequent buses or reliable app-based rides.

That does not mean you must rent one. Many properties can arrange transfers, and Guatapé is easy to reach by bus before taking a local taxi. The important part is planning the return before you arrive. Do not assume a ride will appear quickly on Sunday afternoon in a rural area.

Ask the property for the exact road condition.

Confirm whether a normal car can reach the entrance.

Ask for the price of a private transfer before booking.

Download the map because mobile signal can weaken outside towns.

Avoid arriving for the first time after dark.

When is the best time to go?

Glamping works throughout the year, but the experience changes with the rain. Drier periods are generally easier for jacuzzis, terraces, hikes and lake activities. Rainier months can still be pleasant if the room is comfortable and the property has food on site.

A clear forecast is never guaranteed in the mountains. It is better to choose a place you would enjoy during a rainy afternoon than to book only for an outdoor photograph.

For seasonal patterns, see the Medellín weather and time guide.

What to check before booking

The exact room type, not only the best room shown on Instagram

Whether the jacuzzi is private, heated and included in the rate

Breakfast, dinner and drink options

Road access and parking

Cancellation and date-change rules

Whether children or pets are allowed

Wi-Fi and mobile coverage if you need to work

Curtains and privacy in transparent rooms

Noise from roads, events or neighbouring units

Check-in time and how late arrivals are handled

Is glamping worth it?

It can be, but the value is in the setting and the time together, not in the word glamping. A basic dome with a jacuzzi may cost more than an excellent hotel. For one night, a bad road, early checkout and expensive meals can also make the trip feel rushed.

I would choose glamping for a birthday, anniversary or slow weekend when the accommodation is part of the plan. For a busy sightseeing trip, a normal hotel in Medellín or Guatapé is usually more practical.

Frequently asked questions

Is there glamping inside Medellín?

Most genuine rural glamping properties are outside the city. San Félix, Copacabana and Santa Elena are among the closest areas, while Guatapé has the largest concentration of premium options.

What is the closest glamping to Medellín?

Botánico in Copacabana and El Ojo in San Félix are among the closest established options in this guide. The real travel time depends on your starting neighborhood and traffic.

What is the most luxurious glamping near Medellín?

Bosko is the strongest luxury choice here. It operates more like a small high-end hotel, with only ten rooms, a restaurant, pools, spa treatments and reservoir views.

Can families stay at these properties?

Some glamping businesses focus almost entirely on couples and allow only two adults per room. Others offer cabins or family accommodation. Check the age policy and room capacity before booking.

Are glamping sites pet-friendly?

Policies differ by property and room type. BubbleSky, for example, allows pets in its cabins but not inside its bubble units. Confirm the fee, size limit and indoor rules in writing.

Should I stay one or two nights?

One night is enough for a property close to Medellín. Two nights make more sense in Guatapé, especially if you also want to visit the town, climb Piedra del Peñol or spend time on the reservoir.

The best glamping near Medellín is not automatically the place with the strangest room. Choose the area first, then check the road, privacy, meals and cancellation policy. A comfortable cabin with a great view will usually beat an uncomfortable bubble with a better photograph.
