Chile’s Atacama Desert is one of the driest, most inhospitable places on the planet – so what better spot to build a luxury resort? But the Tierra Atacama Hotel & Spa is more than just that particular irony: it’s a supremely hospitable retreat, featuring high-end amenities, in one of the most peaceful and picturesque settings you could ever imagine.
Guest rooms are cozy and comfortable, creating a warm and casual atmosphere, which is nicely complemented by the desert-inspired art. Consistent with the resort’s eco-friendly nature, the restaurant there serves tasty food which comes from its very own garden.
And then there’s the Uma Spa (which means Water in the local Aymara language), an amazing, revitalizing oasis in the heart of the desert – the supreme indulgence in a place where the substance of life is so incredibly scarce.
But the main advantage which comes from the hotel’s secluded location is the fact that it makes unforgettable outdoor activities available to its guests. The breathtaking landscapes of the Altiplano await discovery, as do the Puritama Hot Springs, Tatio Geysers, and the Atacama Salt Flat. And far away from the light of the city, just laying back and watching the sky, with its thousands of stars now visible, is an extraordinary experience.
