Why Medellín Is Redefining Luxury Travel in Latin America
How the City of Eternal Spring evolved from a troubled past into one of South America's most compelling destinations for discerning travellers.

Tucked away behind a curtain of tropical greenery, the Coastal Garden Suite is a hidden gem built for travelers who need a little more than rest, they’re looking for restoration. Whether you’re in the middle of a personal reset, a wellness weekend, or simply craving quiet, this space is designed for mindful escape.
Breathe Easier, Sleep Deeper
The suite features hypoallergenic bedding, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an indoor-outdoor rain shower that lets in the sounds of the ocean. Guests also enjoy a private patio with a meditation corner, complete with a yoga mat, sound bowl, and ocean-scented candle.
Wellness, Delivered to Your Door
A highlight? Complimentary breakfast delivery each morning: think fresh-pressed juices, chia parfaits, and calming teas. You can also book add-ons like aromatherapy pillow sprays, salt foot soaks, or a guided breathing session.
Sunrise Yoga & Spa Pairings
Guests of the Garden Suite receive priority booking for our sunrise yoga on the sand and our herbal massage series. Looking for something unique? Ask about our wellness concierge who can build a custom relaxation itinerary just for you.
Mariven believes wellness should feel effortless, and this suite is proof. Sometimes, all you need is a soft robe, a quiet breeze, and space to breathe.
A City That Reinvented Itself
Medellín occupies a narrow valley in the Andes, its hillsides covered in terracotta-roofed barrios that climb toward a perpetually mild sky. The city’s transformation over the past two decades is one of the most remarkable urban stories in Latin America — and for the discerning traveller, that transformation has created a destination of rare depth.
Art, Architecture and Innovation
From the botanical garden and its extraordinary network of public libraries to the galleries of El Poblado and the gastronomic corridor emerging along Provenza, Medellín rewards the curious traveller who slows down. ALMAR arranges private studio visits with resident artists, behind-the-scenes access to architecture projects, and evenings with Colombian chefs working at the forefront of the country’s culinary scene.
The ALMAR Medellín Experience
We place our guests in design-forward residences in El Poblado and Laureles — neighbourhoods with the infrastructure for comfortable luxury and the character of a city that has not yet been overrun. Day trips extend to the flower villages of the Eastern Andes, haciendas in the Oriente, and helicopter access to the Antioquia countryside. Medellín is a base as much as a destination.
