Hotel overview:
Tucked privately into a stunning desert canyon, Nayara Alto Atacama is a remarkable gateway. Expect high-quality food, drink and facilities. We love their expert-led, small-group excursions that take you beyond the usual tourist trails. After exploring otherworldly valleys and lagoons, return to your restorative oasis lodge to unwind in the Puri baths beneath the clearest skies on Earth.

Why we like this hotel
- It's an incredibly peaceful location overlooking the incredible Catarpe Valley desert landscape
- A good excursion menu offers you the opportunity to see the famous highlights of Atacama (we can recommend our top choices)
- Serene cactus-filled gardens, cool, tranquil pools and an excellent spa offer ample opportunities to unwind
- Their on-site telescope/observatory is ideal for stargazing— ask for tour options
- Try their "Puri Spa Trilogy", a 90-minute experience for ultimate relaxation that caresses your back, head and feet
- The wine pairing dinner is a true gastronomic experience, which features some of Chile's top wines!
We think it's worth noting

- Reservations are required for the asado BBQ
Swoop says

While it delivers every five-star amenity you’d expect from a "luxury hotel" (superb food, an extensive spa, and impeccable service), its identity is defined by its connection to the surrounding landscape. Its adobe architecture melts into the canyon walls, and its purpose is not just to pamper, but to serve as an authentic base for outdoor exploration in the region.
