Small, isolated and utterly magical hotel built almost entirely of salt, with views that give the impression of being on the edge of another planet.

This small, isolated and utterly magical Luna Salada hotel, built entirely of salt blocks, overlooks the spectacularly surreal Uyuni salt flats from a low bluff – giving an impression of being on the edge of another planet.

Except for the tiled bathrooms, all the walls and floors of this extraordinary property are made of compacted salt crystals, which shimmer in the sunlight. Even the furniture is mostly made of salt, made homely with cushions and Bolivian textiles.

Guestrooms are modest but all have heaters, electric blankets and cosy bedspreads. The rooms are built along one side of a long corridor, opposite which there is a sitting area with large bay windows framing wonderful views of the salt flats.

What our clients say

97% of our clients rated their experience with us as Excellent or Good.

  • This was advised by you to be basic. This was possibly our favourite hotel of the entire trip and is definitely not basic... the hotel was so beautiful.

    ND, London

  • Worth visiting - great location.

    RP, Southend-On-Sea

  • "A unique experience staying here, with almost everything made of salt blocks. Cosy wood burning stoves and lots of seating areas to enjoy the view onto the salt flats.  Excellent dinner and breakfast, and very helpful staff."

    JS,Worcester

  • Interesting place.  Lovely sunset.  Good food - more variety than most.

    GN, Kingsbridge

  • "Lovely hotel in a spectacular location. Service was a bit poor though and again had problems with the hot water in the shower but overall a pleasant stay."

    ES, London

  • "An amazing hotel! We had a fantastic room with our own lounge looking out across the salt flats. Beds were warm and comfortable and the buffet dinner and breakfast were excellent real VIP treatment, and in such a remote location!"

    AG, Edgware

  • Staff went out of their way to provide excellent breakfast. Again better than expected.

    DG, Cheltenham

  • OK but had double bed not twin (none available).People at reception very helpful. Restaurant seemed disorganised,food not brilliant, waiters/resses tried to be helpful but all running around without direction.

    IC, Leigh-On-Sea

  • Beautiful and unique hotel almost entirely in salt, with a wonderful view on the salar. Cold in the room (very cold - 7 degrees - in the bathroom) - should have better heating / portable heaters.

    BP, London

  • Beautiful - salt floors awkward, but tell everyone to take flip flops. Food excellent. Fabulous location of course. Good choice.

    RH, Carshalton

  • We had a Salar view room which was excellent. Evening meal was very good. Bedroom was large although we did have a problem with the ensuite shower not working.

    IP, Guildford

  • Good hotel with fantastic facilities, no issue.

    RH

  • Beautiful hotel, great location.

    MP, Amersham
