"A literal hidden gem nestled behind an ancient adobe wall, Awasi Atacama boasts twelve bespoke luxury suites alongside desert-inspired dining and a plethora of unforgettable experiences."

A gorgeous oasis set within the awe-inspiring Atacama desert, the oh-so exclusive Awasi Atacama is an escape that stands hidden in plain sight. Tucked behind an ancient adobe wall, this Relais & Châteaux property is truly a secret gem; indeed, passersby unaware of its existence could easily walk past the wall and remain none the wiser to the dreamy getaway set right behind it.

The property's twelve private suites are inspired by the pre-Inca ruins that are located outside of San Pedro de Atacama. Though the accommodations may be inspired by visions of the Old World, the luxury found within the spaces is plenty modern. Indeed, the interiors are the perfect blend of rustic and posh; thatched roofs and rugged wooden accents are softened by pretty tufted furniture and polished antique pieces. Bathrooms are spacious and lovely, and each opens up into a private solarium with an al fresco shower to boot.

The property's twelve private suites are inspired by the pre-Inca ruins that are located outside of San Pedro de Atacama. Though the accommodations may be inspired by visions of the Old World, the luxury found within the spaces is plenty modern. Indeed, the interiors are the perfect blend of rustic and posh; thatched roofs and rugged wooden accents are softened by pretty tufted furniture and polished antique pieces. Bathrooms are spacious and lovely, and each opens up into a private solarium with an al fresco shower to boot. The clever circular design of the suites utilises organic building materials like stone, wood and adobe to naturally regulate the temperature of the spaces: the result is rooms that remain pleasantly cool in the heat of the day and cosy in the chillier evenings. The overall atmosphere of the spaces is intimate and wonderfully inviting, which makes plenty of sense, given that the word ‘Awasi’ means ‘home’.

Chef Juan Pablo Mardones is the culinary mastermind behind Awasi Atacama’s memorable gastronomy. Inspired by the desert itself, the fare conjured up in the property’s kitchen is a love letter to the surrounding land. Carefully created so as to be in harmony with the environment itself, the Chilean cuisine is heightened by a bespoke local touch, and the artfully prepared dishes make meal times a truly experiential affair.

The entirety of the Atacama Desert is at your doorstep during a stay at Awasi, and the lodge offers no shortage of ways to get up close and personal with the rugged landscape. Private four-wheel-drive excursions led by knowledgeable, personal guides are both educational and exhilarating; learn about the ancient history of the region as you explore the valleys, canyons, geysers and spectacular wildlife nearby. These tours are carefully crafted to be bespoke, entirely customised experiences uniquely suited to the whims of each individual guest or group. Active guests may opt to explore the landscape on foot or by bicycle, while other adventures may take the shape of breathtaking nights spent stargazing or deep cultural dives into the heritage of the region.
