Awasi Atacama
Small, exclusive boutique hotel offering luxury and privacy, built in harmony with the stunning setting of the Atacama Desert.
Combine explorations of the wild Atacama desert with a pampered stay at this boutique hotel. Awasi Atacama is a rare place where couples seeking quiet and privacy can stay side by side with families, and choose from an imaginative range of excursions and activities. The property is listed in the prestigious Relais & Chateaux portfolio.
This gorgeous little hotel takes its inspiration from traditional atacameño homes and the desert surroundings. There are a dozen round, thatched cottages built from local stone, wood and adobe, softened by cosy furnishings and fabrics in a harmonious mélange of both earthy and bright colours.
The property provides a private, intimate experience for guests with a genuine feeling of luxury. The large rooms all have a private patio, a sofa for relaxing, and both indoor and outdoor showers.
The terrace around the small heated pool is especially attractive to relax. It might be hard to drag yourself away, but with your personal driver-guide you can take advantage of many excursions on offer, from visits to geysers, hot springs and shimmering salt flats to guided hikes, bike rides and horse riding.
Programmes designed for children include cookery and craft classes, sand-boarding on the dunes and visits to cactus forests and lagoons to learn about the desert environment and spot llamas and flamingos.
