Galavanta Collection

The Collection

We are a collection of properties designed to offer discerning travellers access to some of Colombia’s most fascinating and remote destinations –without sacrificing comfort and service.

For us, the essence of luxury is not in the property itself, but in the comfort, people and elements that make the place special: Exquisite dining and drinking, immersive experiences, and an outstanding team that goes the extra mile to make guests feel at home. Whether it’s a family with young kids, or a group of adults, our team personalises each guest’s stay.

Each property has its own style, story, ecosystem and culture, offering guests a completely unique adventure at each destination. From cloud forests and coffee plantations, to Andean mountains, Caribbean beaches and wetland savannahs replete with wildlife.

Intrigued? Our team can assess guests on everything from customising meal and wine menus, to organising travel logistics, scheduling helicopter flights, and designing an epic itinerary –as each visit is completely unique.
