explora en Rapa Nui Resort, Easter Island Regular flights from Santiago 4 days, 3 nights or 5 days 4 nights This exceptional new property sits on a hill with ocean views in the south-west of the island. In common with its sister hotels in Atacama and Patagonia, it was conceived to provide very comfortable accommodation, excellent cuisine and a range of activities from which guests can choose according to their personal preference, all backed up with meticulous service. A mélange of the old and the new - constructed from local materials and featuring numerous picture windows, it is cleverly designed to resemble the form of the legendary bird man. The hotel features 30 rooms, a swimming pool and Jacuzzis. Visit the archaeological sites on foot or by bicycle; there is also a diving opportunity for experienced divers.

Our Comment "explora’s approach is delightfully informal and the quality all round is superior by some considerable margin to the alternative properties on the island." Laura Rendell-Dunn, Marketing Executive
