The attractive boutique Belmond Rio Sagrado is located in the heart of the picturesque Sacred Valley, 4km outside Urubamba on the way to Ollantaytambo. It sits beside the banks of the Urubamba River and has an atmosphere of undisturbed tranquillity.

Accommodation is in terracotta-hued tiled bungalows; standard rooms have a balcony and superiors are larger with a small private garden. Inside they are very stylishly decorated, with local artwork and textiles adding warmth to the sleek contemporary layout, and all have under-floor heating and spacious bathrooms with rain showers. There are also two cottages ideal for families, each with three en suite bedrooms and a living area and kitchen.

The garden is shaded by trees and parasols while comfortable deck chairs make the most of the views. Facilities include a restaurant with an adjacent bar, a massage room, a sauna and a Jacuzzi.
