Emerging triumphant from a tumultuous past, Colombia has all of the ingredients for a luxurious, yet adventurous, holiday. Begin in Bogotá, the country’s unfussy and engaging capital, for street-art tours, a multitude of museums and some classic Colombian cuisine (our local Concierge will be on hand to recommend the best). Then there’s the confetti-coloured city of Cartagena, where luxury is found in myriad forms. Discover the UNESCO-listed Old Town, hidden within eight-miles worth of colonial stone walls, and soak up the seductive atmosphere of one of South America’s most beautiful cities. Within easy reach are the paradisiacal Isla de Barú and the Islas del Rosario, both worthy contenders for those in search of some barefoot luxury, with their bone-white beaches and turquoise ocean.
Coffee connoisseurs, meanwhile, can explore the Coffee Triangle, tucked away in the rural Paisa region and comprising of Caldas, Risaralda and Quindio. Tour local coffee plantations and learn about the traditional process, before sampling some straight from the source. Colombia luxury holidays can also take you off-the-beaten track to the north of the country where you’ll find Tayrona National Park, a wildlife-lovers dream known for its biodiverse rainforest and palm-fringed coves which can be explored in comfort alongside an expert tour guide.
