Guests come up for a quiet room, a reset or a reason to slow down. What they describe afterwards is rarely the thing they came for. These are their own words, unedited — read them as experiences, not as promised results.

I had the chance to attend an event at Mountains of Hope with some of the world's leading natural-health practitioners (I'm not one of them). Their consensus was: This is how we should live, and I agree. The facilities are absolutely stunning, set in the beautiful hills outside Medellín, 15 minutes from the international airport. The accommodations and buildings are modern and comfortable. The property is a landscaped oasis full of fruits and vegetables, all harvested daily for your juices and meals. I walked for hours enjoying the spectacular views and still didn't see everything. I felt completely insulated from the downsides of modern life, with every comfort imaginable. Everything we consumed was delicious and healthy. Every resource is designed for your health, every program dedicated to your wellbeing. The energy is incredible. If you need a reset, this is your destination.

Mountains of Hope is a true sanctuary to reconnect with yourself. We woke up and practiced Yin yoga overlooking the misty Andes, drank lots of healing green juice, ate delicious organic food grown on the property, walked and picked guavas, mandarins and other tropical fruits from the surrounding trees, enjoyed saunas, steam baths and cold plunges, and received incredible healing treatments like myofascial massage, IV therapy, brain mapping, PEMF, guided breathwork and meditation, and beautiful ceremonies offered by local shamans such as temazcal and cacao — with amazing guest speakers where we learned important healing information. I honestly have no words for how good this place is, and I'm so happy I got to share space with such a lovely community. I left floating — lighter, clearer, with a huge open heart. Forever grateful.

An extraordinary place for healing and transformation. Mountains of Hope has everything you need to reset positive patterns in your life. The food is fully organic and grown on their own property. The staff is exceptional, attentive and supportive. Wake up to the most spectacular sunrise views, do Yin yoga, enjoy hot saunas and cold plunges, and swim in the pool. For extra support, they have an excellent doctor, psychologist, chiropractor, massage therapist, myofascial release specialist and more. I brought my two young adult children and they experienced an incredible transformation too. I'm grateful to founder Mike Murphy and Tim James for creating such a special and needed space. Wherever you are, it's worth traveling to the mountains of Medellín for the Mountains of Hope experience.

Mountains of Hope was exactly what I didn't know I needed. From my arrival, I was welcomed and cared for by an incredibly skilled, kind and genuinely loving team. Every detail, from the therapies to the daily rhythm, was handled with deep consideration and care. I learned so much about my body and mind during my stay. The experience gave me clarity and changed something in me, opening my eyes to new possibilities. I left lighter, stronger and inspired to continue on this path. If you're looking for a place to reset, heal and feel truly supported, I recommend Mountains of Hope.

As a nurse who understands humanity's suffering and the desperate need for a place to ease physical, emotional and spiritual pain, this place offers a light of hope. I came with my 14-year-old son and we grew, individually and together, in ways I'm so grateful for. This has been one of the best experiences of my life. Mike, the founder, created MOH with a pure heart, and it shows in every detail. The staff and advocates are well trained and equally loving. I'll definitely be hosting retreats here in the future. Go!

Excellent! The staff at Mountains of Hope is incredible, caring and kind, and genuinely interested in your health and how you feel. I'm a retired nurse and I'd never seen the genuine care I received during my recovery at Mountains of Hope. The doctors hug me, send loving hugs and pray. The food is organic and well prepared. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure you have a good experience.

If you're looking for a holistic retreat for mind, body, soul and energy, MOH is exactly what you're looking for. Set in the beautiful Colombian Andes, a short drive from Medellín's airport, it's easy to reach. Both the accommodations and the team are the perfect combination for healing and growth. I recommend this experience without reservation. Thank you, Mike, and the whole MOH team.

I recently stayed at Mountains of Hope for a month and couldn't recommend it more. The staff is wonderful; the facilities and accommodations are top-notch; I was able to work on my health goals and I'm back in the U.S. feeling completely renewed. Thank you, Mike Murphy, Dr. Marcela and the whole MOH family. I'm deeply grateful and can't wait to return.

An absolutely magical health and transformation retreat, hidden in the mountains of Medellín, Colombia. DON'T come unless you want to experience a true transformation (for the better). I've visited many countries and lived in seven. Nothing compares to the sheer natural beauty found here in every dimension.

I struggle to find the right words. Beyond the technology, the exceptional care, the peaceful and beautiful setting, the organic and delicious food — from the day you arrive to the day you leave, there's an immense love in the air everywhere. Incredible!

The place is truly spectacular — everything very beautiful and elegant, surrounded by nature. There aren't nearby places to eat and few food options are offered, so it's useful to bring food, though there's a well-equipped kitchen.

A spectacular place amid the nature of the beautiful eastern Antioquia — elegant, comfortable, very helpful service. A place to rest or hold events like weddings and more. I'd return without a doubt.
