Awasi Atacama

Considered one of the best hotels in the Atacama region – in fact in Chile as a whole – Awasi brings you the opportunity to explore and sense this surreal land that's like no other. This statement is based on its unique concept of service and experience; indeed, it is one of the most unique hotels in the Atacama. This is more than suitable, for such a destination…

In this area of northern Chile, geological transformations have given birth to imposing volcanoes, salt flats and lagoons, while bodies of water emerge in the middle of the desert along with thermal pools, geysers and marshes. The intense blue sky invites you to discover a scenery crowned by mountains and volcanoes that reach heights of almost 6,000 meters (20,000 feet). Situated here is San Pedro de Atacama, a small town surrounded by this impressive natural scenery. This town, along with the remains of a nearby settlement dating back to 800 B.C., have thus earned this area the title of the "archaeological capital" of Chile.

For thousands of years, the town served as an oasis where travelers could rest and refuel for journeys across the desert. Awasi resonates with this history. Today, explorers from throughout the world come and rest here as well. The difference is that the trips of current travelers have been thoroughly planned and designed to “amplify” this concept. Just consider for a 40+ staff runs attends to a maximum of 16 guests.

The hotel is situated in a privileged location just a stone’s throw from the center of town, where you're invited to visit the church, the museum, the fair, and picturesque local stores to get to know the people. Its eight cabanas (5 circular and 3 rectangular) have pointed thatched roofs, thus mimicking the historic neighboring village, Aldea de Tulor. Meals served on the patio will introduce you to surprising local flavors, while your private guide is ready to take you off-road to places tourists have yet to discover. Thus, it has been a truly “adaptable” hotel with high-end service, suitable for any kind of request and travel type. This allows us to tailor journeys with unique tours and experiences. Whether looking for a family-friendly hotel in Atacama or one for couples, Awasi will deliver you a pleasantly surprising stay – simply unforgettable.
