A Swiss-Colombian biodynamic farm for your group, and only your group. You bring your community and your vision; we take care of everything else.
We host a limited number of retreats each year. Limited dates left for 2027, and the 2028 calendar is open
Request information and availabilityTwo and a half hours from Medellín, Cacaobetulia is a Swiss-Colombian boutique hotel on a 106-hectare biodynamic farm, one of only five Demeter cacao farms in the world. A temple inspired by Taoism and its five elements, a natural reserve, trails, cacao groves and real silence. Before anything was built, a geomancy master cleared and harmonized the whole property, so the land itself holds the best possible energy for the work that happens here. We are not interested in a place people escape to; we want somewhere you reconnect with your inner world and then carry that back into your life.
We close the hotel: total privacy, no other guests.
Inspired by Taoism and harmonized by a master of Taoism and geomancy.

“I have taught geomancy in a lot of places. Few of them hold a group the way this one does. The temple does half the work before you have said anything.”
“As a facilitator you spend the whole retreat solving small problems. Here I did not have to. The food, the rooms, the timings were already handled, so I could just be with my group.”
Yes. We work with a full buyout model: during your retreat the farm is only for your group, with no other guests.
