Kosmos came to life 5 years ago when the CEO Gamal Jadue Zalaquett was in Colorado on a journey of self-discovery, and he realized it was time to quit his job and invest in something bigger.
After experiencing the magic of Colorado, he had the idea to combine his love for astronomy with the concept of a luxury resort in a dark sky region, just 15 minutes away from the Great Sand Dunes national park.
Over the years, Gamal has explored over 35 countries, staying in more than 150 hotels and resorts. This extensive travel experience has not only shaped his perspective but also fuels his commitment to creating exceptional experiences for others.
In order to bring Kosmos to life, he began a crowdfunding campaign, and in the end it wasn’t only him who believed in this vision. The campaign was the most successful Indiegogo Crowdfunding campaign in history, raising close to 2 million.
With this capital, the stars aligned and he was finally able to make his dream a reality and begin construction on the resort, with the first Villas opening in Spring 2025. The resort is at 90% capacity for 2025 with reservations from those who supported us and believed in our vision.
We look forward to continuing this journey with you all and curating an experience of a lifetime.

We are located in a Bortle class 2 zone Dark Sky Site, ideal for stargazing, astrophotography, and immersive night-sky exploration.
Our on-site observatory offers guided, expert-led Immersive Stargazing Experiences, designed to help you explore the night sky in a meaningful and accessible way — whether you're a curious
beginner or a seasoned enthusiast. Each villa features its own telescope, so you can stargaze from your private deck.
At Kosmos, the stars are closer, and every moment is quietly unforgettable — a seamless connection between you, the cosmos, and the natural world around you.
At Kosmos, we embrace conscious tourism — creating meaningful experiences that care for both people and the planet. That's why we integrate sustainable design, natural materials like hempcrete, solar integration, and low-impact practices that minimize our footprint.
We believe sustainability also means investing in people. That's why we create job opportunities that support the valley’s economy and empower our team to grow with the resort through continuous training
and development.

What Off-Grid Means for Your Stay
Kosmos Resort is proudly off-grid, meaning we operate independently from public utility services such as electricity, water, and sewage systems. Every aspect of your stay — from lighting and heating to water and waste — is powered and managed sustainably on-site using renewable energy and natural systems.
Energy Usage: Please turn off lights, fans, and electronics when not in use, especially overnight. During cloudy periods or after extended use, our battery reserves can be limited until recharged by the sun.
Water Conservation: As explained in our Water Guidelines, water is solar-powered and limited at night. We ask that guests shower and bathe during daylight hours when the system is active. Our water comes from a deep, natural well and is rich in iron and other minerals. It is completely safe for drinking, bathing, and everyday use. You may occasionally notice a slight brown tint—this is a natural result of the mineral content and is not harmful in any way. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy the natural charm of our setting.
Climate Control: Each villa is designed with passive heating and cooling in mind. You may notice natural temperature shifts based on the time of day — this is part of the off-grid rhythm. Blankets, fans, and cozy indoor spaces are all provided for your comfort.
Connectivity: While we offer Wi-Fi access in every Kosmos Villa, Kosmos invites you to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with nature. Cell service may be limited depending on your provider. We encourage digital detox during your stay.
Why It Matters
At Kosmos, we believe luxury and sustainability can go hand-in-hand. Every decision we make is designed to minimize our impact on the environment and deepen your connection to the cosmos. Your awareness and participation help make this possible.
