July has something special for a couple’s getaway: the July 20th long weekend gives you those extra days that sometimes make all the difference, and the city’s overall mood, between the end of the World Cup and good weather, sets the perfect backdrop for disconnecting together. This romantic getaway guide for June has ideas that also work perfectly for July, with a few seasonal tweaks.
Why El Poblado is the perfect getaway for couples
Not all couples’ getaways require a faraway destination. El Poblado has the advantage of feeling like a complete getaway without the hassles of a long trip: great food, leisurely walks, and enough neighborhood life to go out without feeling like you have to. Las Lomas, in particular, strikes that balance between activity and tranquility that works well for anyone who wants to escape their routine without going too far.
A weekend just for the two of us
The long weekend on July 20 is a great excuse to extend your getaway to three days. A quiet morning in the garden with coffee plants, an afternoon strolling through Provence, and an evening winding down the day at Cofy Club are enough to make the weekend feel complete without having to fill every hour with activities.
The Junior Suite: the perfect place for a getaway
For a getaway as a couple, the Junior Suite is usually the room category that best balances privacy and space. Unlike a standard room, it has a living area separate from the bed, so you don’t have to spend all your time together on the mattress: there’s a cozy corner where you can leisurely enjoy your welcome coffee, read for a while, or simply chat without feeling like you’re just in another hotel room.
The bathroom, with its natural finishes, and the queen-size bed maintain the same warmth of oak and linen that defines the rest of the hotel, but the real difference lies in that feeling of having a small private living room. It’s the kind of detail that stands out more on a multi-day getaway than on a single night: when your plans include resting, going out, coming back, and resting again, having a place to separate those moments without leaving your room changes how the whole weekend feels.
With high-speed Wi-Fi for anyone who wants to completely disconnect or simply check their phone without dealing with a spotty signal, the Junior Suite is just as ideal for a couple looking to spend quality time together as it is for one that values having their own space even when they’re together.
The World Cup atmosphere can also be romantic
It sounds counterintuitive, but watching a game together—especially if you both like soccer—can be part of the plan. Cofy Club creates a lively atmosphere for World Cup matches, and sharing that energy as a couple, with good food to go along with it, is a different way to spend the evening that doesn’t have to be just a candlelit dinner.
Details that make a difference
The spa area with a jacuzzi and Turkish bath is the kind of space that makes a getaway for couples even better—ideal for a moment of shared relaxation before or after going for a walk. The quiet rooms, far from the noise of the street yet still close to Provence, allow couples to decide how much to explore and how much to stay in without feeling like they’re missing out on anything. The breakfast buffet also plays a role that’s sometimes underestimated: starting the day without rushing, with time to talk while deciding on the day’s plans, completely changes the pace of the getaway compared to rushing out to find a place for breakfast.
How to space out the days without overloading the schedule
A three-day getaway doesn’t need a packed itinerary to feel well spent. Arriving on the first day and leaving the rest of the afternoon free to settle in and take a short walk around the area is enough, wrapping up with a quiet dinner at Cofy Club. The second day is usually the busiest, perfect for heading out to Provenza or Lleras Park and leaving the evening free if there’s an important game on. And before getting back into the routine, the third day is almost always more rewarding when you do less: sleep in, have a coffee in the garden, and maybe enjoy the spa before check-out. One day of intense activity and two more leisurely ones tend to work better than trying to see and do everything in a short amount of time.
What usually surprises first-time visitors
Many couples arrive in El Poblado expecting a more conventional tourist experience, only to be surprised by how residential and peaceful the area feels—especially Las Lomas. That combination of being close to everything without feeling like you’re in the middle of the hustle and bustle is, according to several guests, what they value most by the end of their stay. It’s not a plan that depends on a single attraction, but rather on the sum of small, well-thought-out details throughout the days.
Something with more meaning behind it
If the plan has something special behind it, like an anniversary or a proposal, this guide to a romantic night in El Poblado has ideas to make the occasion a little more memorable.
