Nayara Alto Atacama

Alto Atacama, a hymn to Atacameñan culture

Nayara Alto Atacama is an oasis in the heart of the Atacama Desert. This luxury lodge with traditional adobe construction features 42 rooms with typical decor and panoramic views of the valley and the Cordillera de la Sal. A stay at Alto Atacama is a unique and authentic experience for discovering the splendour of this region and its lunar landscapes. Surrounded by the Cordillera de la Sal and located near the ruins of Quitor, Alto Atacama is set in an exceptional environment. Its architecture was designed so that the hotel blends into the landscape, and every decorative element was crafted by local artisans. The hotel offers 42 warm, elegantly decorated rooms featuring a private terrace and a striking view of the desert. At the restaurant, chef Daniel Molina wonderfully blends Mediterranean cuisine with local recipes and produce, to be enjoyed indoors or on the terrace accompanied by fabulous Chilean wines. The Alto Atacama spa is a revitalising experience after a day of exploring the desert. The staff pay attention to the smallest detail to make your stay exceptional, thus living up to the lodge's concept of being an oasis of life in the heart of the desert.

THE EXPERIENCES

  • Spa, yoga classes, hot springs, 6 outdoor pools, jacuzzi
  • Over 30 excursions to choose from by car, on foot or by mountain bike to the splendours of Atacama on a private or shared basis: Atacama salt flats, salt mountain range (Valley of the Moon, Devil's Gorge...), Sarapana mountain range, Andes mountain range (Tatio geysers)... with experienced guides who know the region inside out

THE EXTRAORDINARY

Because the skies of Northern Chile have the reputation of being among the clearest in the world, stargazing there is a unique experience. Alto Atacama has therefore created its own observatory with telescopes and a relaxation area to appreciate galaxies, planets, constellations, stars and other wonders of the night sky.

ETHICS

Alto Atacama's cuisine sources its ingredients from local producers to guarantee product freshness and support the local economy. Located in a unique environment, Alto Atacama strives to minimise its impact, particularly during excursions organised by the Lodge which adhere to the internal «Leave No Trace» charter.
