Ibuku Hotel is a luxury glamping and boutique chalet development at the water’s edge of the Guatape reservoir. Breaking away from the normal hostels and simple hotels within the town center, it offers an upper-end eco experience primarily aimed at couples and those seeking privacy, with individual standalone units combining contemporary design with nature, large glass windows and wooden decks to both the water view and dense vegetation. Not located within the main town square but up in the hills, this quiet sanctuary focuses on relaxation, private jacuzzis ,and disconnection from noise city while being close to famous Piedra del Penol.

Quick Look - Ibuku Hotel


  • The most outstanding is the design of chalets, a good number with private jacuzzis and catamaran style mesh nets suspended over the hillside for lounging.
  • The views are spectacular , offering uninterrupted reservoir and surrounding green mountains panorama directly from your bed .
  • Privacy is a big deal here; the units are spaced far enough apart that you feel like you have your own piece of the forest.
  • Breakfast is usually delivered either to the room or just on the private terrace, allowing guests to enjoy their morning coffee in their robes while looking at the lake.
  • There is direct access to the water, and the hotel can arrange water sports like kayaking or jet skiing right from their dock.
  • × The access road leading from the main highway to the hotel entrance is unpaved, steep, and can be difficult to navigate for standard low-clearance cars, especially when it rains.
  • × It is not within walking distance of Guatape town center; you are reliant on tuk-tuks or taxis to go out for dinner or to see the colorful zocalos.
  • × Being in the middle of nature means you will encounter insects, so keeping the doors closed in the evening is essential to keep moths and mosquitoes out.
  • × Dining options on-site can be limited compared to a full-service resort, with a smaller menu focused on room service.
