An intimate and authentic property that offers unexpected opulence within the arid Atacama Desert, Awasi Atacama is tucked behind an impressive ancient adobe wall that disguises the sumptuous accommodations within.
Its 12 thatched-roof suite cottages, each skilfully constructed from local stone, adobe and wood, boast a private patio and a sitting area and are decorated with local handicrafts and cosy alpaca wool blankets. Moreover, each pre-Inca inspired cottage is allocated its own private guide and 4×4 vehicle to facilitate the memorable tailor-made experiences that the property is known for.
The notion that each cottage is prescribed a private expert guide and 4×4 vehicle is a remarkable asset to Awasi Atacama, since it opens up a world of independent and hand-crafted explorations through the desert.
Featuring a swimming pool overhung by tall trees that provide a natural shade, guests can take respite from the heat of the desert by day. Meanwhile, the gourmet food and wine menu, curated by Chef Juan Pablo Mardones, invites guests to taste the flavours of the world’s driest desert from the comfort of a stunning open-air dining room turned star-gazing spot. When not exploring the geysers, canyons, valleys and petroglyphs, or looking out for scarpering vicunas, flamingos and foxes, guests of Awasi Atacama can retreat to the confines of the property to take a cooling dip in the pool, sip a drink in the shade of a tall tree, or linger over a meal in the Relais & Chateaux restaurant.
