The sun is calling and your body craves water: your ideal escape
If you feel the thermometer rising and your routine suffocating you, you are not alone. In Colombia, when the heat hits, the mind automatically travels to an iconic destination to disconnect: Melgar. But, what if we told you that you don’t have to settle for a conventional hotel to enjoy a good pool? The trend of glamping with a pool is here to stay, blending the luxury of premium accommodations with immersion in nature.
Imagine waking up to the singing of birds, surrounded by the characteristic vegetation of Tolima, and taking just a few steps to immerse yourself in crystal-clear waters that break the afternoon heat. It is not just about a place to sleep; it is a complete sensory experience. In this guide, we take you by the hand through the best corners of Melgar to find the perfect balance between the warmth of the tropics and the freshness of the water.
Why choose Melgar for your next glamping trip?
Melgar, affectionately known as the ‘City of the Strawberry,’ is the heart of relaxation for Colombians, especially for those fleeing big cities like Bogotá. Its warm climate, usually oscillating between 28 and 32 degrees Celsius (82-90°F), makes it the perfect setting for outdoor activities year-round. However, the heat also demands smart planning.
By opting for glamping in Melgar, you are not just choosing a comfortable bed. You are choosing privacy, aesthetics, and, most importantly, a solution integrated with the climate. This area has specialized in offering accommodations that understand the need for water: infinity pools with mountain views, moonlit jacuzzis, and outdoor showers that refresh the soul. It is the evolution of tourism: sustainable luxury adapted to the geography of the Magdalena River valley.

What makes a glamping with a pool special?

Practical tips for your visit to Melgar
To make your glamping experience in Melgar perfect, keep these recommendations in mind:
- Book in advance: Glampings with pools in Melgar are in high demand, especially on holidays and long weekends. Secure your spot weeks in advance.
- Sunscreen and repellent: Even if you are in the water, the sun rays in Tolima are strong. Protect yourself and use biodegradable repellent to care for the local nature.
