Aranwa Vichayito Bungalows and Carpas is a beach resort and spa offering innovative and luxurious tented accommodation and cottages on the Pacific coast near Mancora.

Situated on a soft sandy beach facing the Pacific Ocean and catching the coppery rays of the sun as it sets beyond the horizon, Aranwa Vichayito Bungalows and Carpas is a relaxing family-friendly but also romantic beach resort (weddings are hosted here occasionally). It is a just a short drive to the lively little resort of Mancora but far enough away to be isolated from any potential boisterousness.   

An unusual property, it offers nine thatched cottages and a further 26 Bedouin-style tents.  But this isn’t roughing-it style camping: the spacious, the lofty tents are fully furnished, almost luxurious affairs with bathroom, minibar and air-conditioning. The cottages are also provided with a small kitchenette; an attractive option for families.

There’s an innovative restaurant and a decent-sized pool with sun loungers. Various activities are organised - so that you can observe wildlife such as turtles at play or go horse-riding on the beach - and a spa offering massages.

What our clients say

  • Highlight?: The whole of the Ausangate trek - the best short trek we have ever done in terms of scenery and local culture with the added advantage of comfortable mountain lodges. 

    AST, Berwick-Upon-Tweed

  • Machu Picchu was the most memorable part of the trip. The rain forest was fun. We loved the Andean Express train journey too.

    MdlATS, London

  • Highlights?: White water rafting on the Urabamba river, Pirahna fishing and the lake titicaca tour.

    MH, London

  • “The food in Brazil and Peru was amazing. This was unexpectedly the best foodie holiday we ever had.”

    NV, Bethnal Green

  • For me, I think that it was the Lords of Sipan and Royal Tombs Museum, and the Temple of the Moon at Trujillo. For Angela, it was Tucume and the Temple of the Moon.

    PS, Reading

  • Highlights? :The Vistadome train journey to Machu Picchu and visiting the ruins themselves.
