Kosmos Stargazing Resort & Spa was born five years ago during a transformative journey to Colorado by our founder and CEO, Gamal Jadue Zalaquett. Surrounded by vast landscapes and pristine night skies, Gamal realized it was time to leave his corporate career behind and pursue a vision rooted in purpose, nature, and the cosmos.
Inspired by Colorado’s beauty, he envisioned a luxury stargazing resort in a certified dark-sky region, where astronomy, sustainability, and elevated hospitality coexist. That vision found its home just 15 minutes from Great Sand Dunes National Park.
Having traveled to more than 35 countries and stayed in over 150 hotels and resorts, Gamal’s global experience shaped the philosophy behind Kosmos: thoughtful design, meaningful connection, and awe-inspiring experiences.
To bring Kosmos to life, Gamal launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, which became the most successful hospitality campaign in the platform’s history, raising nearly $2 million USD. With construction underway, the first luxury villas open in Spring 2025. The resort was already over 90% booked for the 2025 season by early supporters and future guests who believed in this vision from the start.
We look forward to continuing this journey with you, curating unforgettable stargazing experiences beneath some of the darkest skies in North America.

Kosmos Stargazing Resort & Spa is located in a Bortle Class 2 dark-sky zone, offering exceptional conditions for stargazing, astrophotography, and immersive night-sky exploration—just minutes from untouched natural landscapes.
Our on-site observatory hosts guided, expert-led stargazing experiences, designed for all levels of curiosity, from first-time stargazers to seasoned enthusiasts. Each villa also features a private telescope, allowing you to explore the cosmos directly from your own deck.
At Kosmos, the stars feel closer, and every moment becomes quietly unforgettable—a seamless connection between you, the cosmos, and the natural world around you.
At Kosmos Stargazing Resort & Spa, sustainability is not an add-on; it’s at the core of how we design, build, and operate. From hempcrete construction and solar energy to low-impact systems, every decision is made to reduce our environmental footprint while preserving the land and night skies that surround us.
Our commitment extends beyond the environment and into the community. By creating local employment opportunities and investing in continuous training, we support the San Luis Valley economy and grow a team that evolves alongside the resort.

What Off-Grid Means for Your Stay
At Kosmos Resort, off-grid living is part of the experience. We operate independently from public utilities, using renewable energy and natural systems to power electricity, water, heating, and waste—allowing you to disconnect without sacrificing comfort.
Energy Usage: Our solar-powered energy system is designed for mindful use. We kindly ask guests to turn off lights and electronics when not in use, especially overnight, as battery reserves depend on sunlight for recharging during the day.
Water Conservation: Water at Kosmos comes from a deep natural well and is rich in minerals, including iron. It is completely safe for drinking and everyday use. Because our water system is also solar-powered, we recommend showering and bathing during daylight hours, when the system is most active. You may occasionally notice a slight brown tint—this is a natural characteristic of mineral-rich water and part of the authentic off-grid experience.
Climate Control: Each villa is designed with passive heating and cooling, working in harmony with the natural environment. You may notice gentle temperature changes throughout the day—part of the off-grid rhythm that defines life at Kosmos. For your comfort, every villa is equipped with cozy indoor spaces, blankets, and fans.
Connectivity: Wi-Fi is available in all Kosmos Villas, though cell service may vary depending on your provider. We invite you to embrace a slower pace and take this opportunity to disconnect from digital noise and reconnect with nature, the night sky, and the present moment.
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.
