With a blend of Latin American cultures, Awasi Atacama is vibrant and secluded. Tall trees give way to private patios allowing quiet moments of solace or perfect spots for gentle conversation. The ideal base for an adventure into the desert, the 12 suites are elegant and showcase the Inca heritage. Created from natural materials, the stone keeps the rooms cool, while alpaca blankets can keep you cosy on the chillier evenings. Each suite has an indoor and outdoor shower, so you can shower under the heavens. Taste the flavours of the world’s driest desert in their punchy creative cuisine, inspired by Andean flavours, eating in the open-air restaurant, a wonderful spot for reenergising for another mind-blowing day in the desert plains. If the gastronomy truly blows you away you can learn the tricks of the trade with a personal cookery lesson with the Chef, Juan Pablo Mardones.
