Awasi Atacama - Relais & Chateaux

What We Think

Finding topnotch luxury in what feels like the middle of nowhere is rare—yet worth every single mile of expedition. Because once you arrive at a place like Awasi Atacama, you’ll feel like you’re in your own private paradise—one you’ll never want to leave. Each guest suite was designed in partnership with a regional historian using the area’s indigenous pre-Incan adobe and stone structures as their muse; expect rounded walls and soaring woven ceilings. And yet the 538 square foot-minimum spaces are all equipped with the luxe trappings today’s glitterati demand in a place like this, including indoor and outdoor showers, patios, a solarium, a walk-in wardrobe, and a desk for those sometimes inescapable Zoom calls. Arrive hungry; chef Juan Pablo Mardones whips up the best seasonal dishes imaginable using Chilean fruits of the earth—all artfully plated.

What It Is

An all-inclusive 12-suite lodge amidst the Andes mountains, with Michelin-worthy meals and unforgettable experiences.

What It Isn't

Scrimping. Every guest gets their own devoted local guide and private 4WD, meaning you can explore the surrounding salt flats, volcanoes, geysers and more at your leisure.

You're Here Because

The property is a member of the illustrious Relais & Châteaux, which means it’s practically guaranteed to be one of the best stays of your life. Bonus: It’s carbon neutral.

The Moment

You weren’t sure what you loved best about this trip until you awoke with a start in the wee hours and were greeted with the most magical stars you’ve ever seen—glitzing up the sky above, boundless and beautiful.
