WHY STAY

Awasi Atacama, a remarkable retreat in the heart of the Atacama Desert, is defined by its harmonious connection with the surrounding landscape. The experience here is not only about indulgence but also about an authentic connection to the land and the local culture, making it an exceptional destination for those seeking adventure, tranquility, and ecological responsibility.

Set against a backdrop of dramatic landscapes, this unique hotel showcases architectural excellence, seamlessly blending with the natural surroundings. Each individual guest villa is built with local materials - stone, adobe and wood, and designed to harmonize with the environment while providing privacy and breathtaking views of the desert, mountains, and night skies.

The hotel's philosophy extends to promoting wellness through its holistic approach to hospitality. The serene natural surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for stargazing and meditation in this tranquil desert environment.

WHY WANDER

Awasi Atacama offers tailor-made, private tours perfect for anyone wanting a luxurious wilderness experience. You will be assigned your own guide upon arrival, to built a custom itinerary - whether its mountain biking and sandboarding, stargazing, or hiking the unique Chilean landscapes. 

Visit the Moon Valley and the Death Valley. Hike to the hot springs of Puritama for a rewarding soak. See Geiser de Tatio smoking in the early morning light, or have lunch at Salar de Tala (salt flats). Discover the colours of the Rainbow Valley (Valle Arcoiris). Don't skip a visit to the Licancabur Volcano. Don't be surprised to come across flamingoes or llamas.

INDULGE IN

Native Atacama ingredients, like purple potatoes, quinoa, or chañar (a meaty, sweet fruit). Try Patasca - a stew made with tripe, veal, potatoes, stewed corn and peppers. 

GETTING THERE

Fly into Santiago, Chile following a two-hour flight to Calama. A transfer from there will be arranged with the hotel.
