The hotel

An Atacama home on the edge of the desert.

Inspired by Atacama’s phenomenal natural surroundings and the cultural elements of the region, our home features 51 fully equipped rooms, a pool, a wellness center and a shared space for intimate events. Our restaurant and bar—the centerpieces of our home—source local seasonal ingredients and tend a garden of native herbs that honors the flavors of the desert.

Location

Between the village and the desert

We are at Domingo Atienza 282, on the edge of San Pedro de Atacama, on the road to Pukará de Quitor. The location combines village life with serene desert views: the main square is about a 12-minute walk away, so you can explore museums, cafés and craft markets on foot, then return to a calm that hotels in town cannot offer. Easy access to town, and easy access to get out of it.

Address: Domingo Atienza 282, San Pedro de Atacama

Architecture & Design

Adobe, brea and wood

Setting foot inside any of our 51 rooms is meant to feel like entering a traditional Atacama home: thick adobe walls that naturally regulate the temperature, and roofs lined with brea, a native flowering plant. The rooms are spread along small winding paths that give them privacy, with the Andes as a backdrop.

Every corner follows the same decorative line. The terracotta of the walls, like the desert sand surrounding the hotel, is repeated in the rooms, the spa and the tables, and wood is present in almost every space: tables, chairs, shelves. Natural materials prevail to achieve a true fusion between nature and hotel.

Pool

An oasis in the desert

An oasis in the middle of the desert. Our L-shaped pool overlooks a bushy tapestry of desert flora, with the open landscape and the volcanoes as a backdrop: the perfect place to pause between one adventure and the next.

Kick back on a lounger in the sun or under the shade of woven cane roofs with a pisco cocktail, or a sauvignon blanc or semillon from Chile’s cooler valleys, such as Itata or Casablanca. The poolside menu features light plates such as ceviches or lamb-filled empanadas, right next to Almas restaurant, the bar and the wellness center.

Garden

Gardens made for wandering

Outdoor pathways wind through the property past native vegetation, including spiky cacti, feathery grasses and a newly planted herb garden. They invite you to wander and take different routes each day to discover new corners: a total immersion in the natural world. Trees and local flora, adapted to the altitude and the water scarcity of Atacama, bring shade and freshness to the paths and the pool.

Our garden of native herbs supplies the kitchen at Almas with the flavors of the desert. Among the greenery there are terraces, reading nooks and a fire pit where we gather at night under the starry sky: plenty of space to connect with fellow guests. Our patios and gardens are also the setting for our outdoor wellness practices.

Rooms & Suites

51 rooms, like a traditional Atacama home

Setting foot inside one of our 51 rooms is meant to feel like entering a traditional Atacama home: adobe walls, brea-lined roofs, pottery and wall tapestries by Atacameño artisans from the neighbouring ayllus, and sturdy wooden furniture made by craftspeople from Chile’s forested south. Earth-toned refuges designed for silence and rest under the clearest sky on the planet.
