Bio Habitat Hotel ARMENIA, COLOMBIA


From within Colombia’s Coffee Triangle, Bio Habitat Hotel provides a new concept of luxury. Its range of accommodation isn’t just surrounded but entirely enveloped by the rainforest’s flora and fauna, with an extraordinary view of the spectacular Andes mountain range. Seemingly miles from nowhere, the hotel is, in


fact, just 10 minutes from Armenia city, Quindio’s department capital, and a mere 40 minutes from Cocora Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s home to the wax palm, Colombia’s national tree and the world’s tallest type of palm, as well as the nearby colourful towns of Salento and Filandia. Staying at Bio Habitat Hotel means experiencing


both mountain and forest environments. Guest rooms come in eight different ‘habitats’ inspired by nature, whether immersed in the humid tropical forest or gazing at the majesty of the Andes or Pacific sunsets. Habitats can be glass-walled spaces with 360-degree perspectives up high between native trees, or 80sq metre habitats with private infinity pools, outdoor whirlpool baths and net- floored viewing terraces.


Designed under the concept of bioclimatic


architecture, Bio Habitat Hotel is committed to a regenerative operation, making its environment a better place each day. Solar power provides 50% of the hotel’s energy demand so far, a natural pond system treats waste water and uses its nutrients for plantations, and organic residues go into compost to then be used in planting programmes for forest recovery. Transformative experiences happen as part


of Bio’s community lifestyle, from live music performances twice a week at Bio Sessions, the hotel’s music project, to monthly wellness events and everyday healing rituals at Bô Wellness Center. There’s farm-to-table gastronomy with fresh


ingredients from the hotel’s garden at Basto Resto Bar, and nature tours to connect with the lush greenery and fauna of the region, such as howler monkeys. Guests can also follow a birdwatching trail on the hotel grounds, go horse-riding in the hills of Cocora, and go for tastings of the finest homegrown Colombian coffees at farms making use of ancient traditional methods.


DON’T MISS Bio Habitat Hotel hosts more than 150 species of bird, making it a hotspot for birdwatchers
