Three holidays in the same month is not something the Colombian calendar repeats very often. June 2026 is the exception, and Medellín is the city that knows best how to make the most of them.
El Poblado on a holiday has a different energy from the rest of the week. Author restaurants open with special programming, rooftops fill with people in no hurry and the streets of Provenza and Manila concentrate an urban life that on working days spreads elsewhere. Binn Hotel, in one of the highest parts of the neighborhood, is the starting point that makes the most sense for living it.
The three holidays of June 2026: when and how to use them
Monday June 1 — Sacred Heart of Jesus
The first holiday of the month arrives after the weekend and creates a three-day bridge that works well for a short getaway from any Colombian city.
It is the quietest holiday of the three. Medellín is not yet saturated, prices don’t yet reflect the demand of the longer mid-month bridges and the city has that particular calm of holiday Mondays that in El Poblado feels especially good.
For this bridge, the proposal from Binn Hotel is simple: arrive Saturday, use Sunday to explore the city and use the holiday Monday for the wellness area before heading back.
Monday June 22 — Saints Peter and Paul (moved)
The second holiday of the month divides June in two and creates another three-day bridge. By this point in the year, Medellín is already in full World Cup mode and the city has an energy that mixes football tourism with regular urban life.
Etro Rooftop and La Makha usually have special programming on these bridges. Worth confirming in advance what is planned for those specific dates.
Tuesday June 29 — Saints Peter and Paul (original date)
The most interesting holiday of the month. It falls on a Tuesday, which in practice creates a five-day window for those who take Monday as a bridge. It is the longest opportunity of June for an extended stay in Medellín.
For this holiday, the traditional Saints Peter and Paul celebrations add a cultural dimension to the experience. Some areas of Antioquia celebrate with music, gastronomy and popular events that complement perfectly a luxury stay in El Poblado.
Plan for the June 1 bridge: three-day short getaway
Saturday: arrival and first night
Check-in at Binn Hotel from 3:00 p.m. The Junior Suite Deluxe City View with its floor-to-ceiling windows and views of the Medellín skyline is the best welcome after a journey.
The afternoon at the outdoor pool with 180° views over the Aburrá Valley. Available until 7:00 p.m.
The evening at La Makha. For a Saturday arrival, the seven-course tasting menu with pairing ($420,000 per person) is the most complete way to start. If à la carte is preferred, the Grilled Rib Eye ($275,000) or the Pork Belly ($68,000) are the most ordered options.
After dinner, Etro Rooftop. Saturdays it closes at midnight.
Sunday: exploring El Poblado
Breakfast at La Makha from 6:00 to 11:30 a.m. No rush.
The morning in El Poblado. Provenza has local design galleries and specialty cafés worth a walk. Manila has neighborhood restaurants that contrast well with the hotel experience. Parque Lleras concentrates the most active Sunday life in the neighborhood.
Midday back at Etro Rooftop. The bar opens from noon every day. The sharing plates menu and a glass of wine are enough to turn lunch into something that lasts longer than planned.
The afternoon at B Wellness. Steam room and jacuzzi until 9:00 p.m.
Holiday Monday: wellness before heading back
The last day of the bridge doesn’t have to end in a rush. Breakfast at La Makha is available until 11:30 a.m. Check-out is until noon.
One last jacuzzi session before 11:00 a.m. turns the departure into something that doesn’t sting quite as much.
Plan for the June 22 bridge: football, gastronomy and rooftop
World Cup 2026
The June 22 holiday falls in the middle of the group stage of the World Cup. Colombia will be competing, and Medellín is a city that lives football with an intensity that few cities in the world can match.
Etro Rooftop with panoramic views of Medellín and signature cocktails is probably the best place in the city to watch a match. The combination of the gastronomic experience with the rooftop atmosphere and the views of the Aburrá Valley creates something no conventional bar can replicate.
The proposal for this bridge
Saturday 20: arrival and dinner at La Makha.
Sunday 21: morning at B Wellness, afternoon exploring the city, evening at Etro watching World Cup matches with cocktails from the menu.
Monday 22 holiday: breakfast at La Makha, B Gym session, free afternoon in the Junior Suite Deluxe with mountain views before check-out.
For this bridge in particular, booking at least three weeks in advance is recommended. World Cup demand is going to put pressure on availability in all quality hotels in El Poblado.
Plan for the June 29 week: five days in Medellín
The longest window of June deserves a more ambitious plan.
- Days 1 and 2: urban Medellín. El Poblado, Laureles, Envigado. The city has neighborhoods most tourists never visit and that from Binn Hotel are accessible in under twenty minutes.
- Day 3: day trip to Guatapé. 90 minutes from Medellín, El Peñol and the reservoir are the full-day plan most recommended. Early departure, back for dinner at La Makha.
- Day 4: Santa Fe de Antioquia. A heritage town 90 minutes away. Colonial architecture, cobblestone streets and local gastronomy that perfectly complements the hotel experience.
- Day 5: wellness and close. The whole morning at B Wellness before check-out. The steam room, jacuzzi and pool are the best ending for a long week.
For travelers who want to explore Antioquia beyond Medellín during these holidays, Binn Hotel has curated experiences to discover the region with genuine criteria.
