Feel like getting away from it all? Check into Awasi in the desert oasis town of San Pedro de Atacama, Chile for the utmost in relaxation and adventure.
Eight adobe bungalows in the middle of the vast Atacama Desert, all are simply decorated with vibrant textiles and have a private outdoor patio, reading room, and both indoor and outdoor showers. Quell the noonday heat in the courtyard pool and the evening chill lounging around the communal fire pit while wrapped in an alpaca throw provided by the staff. Meals are simple but tasty, using local ingredients such as purple potatoes, patasca, and quinoa.
And our favorite luxury: each room is assigned with a private guide and 4WD vehicle to embark on special outings to the nearby volcanoes, dry salt lakes, ponds, and other natural features that make the Atacama experience unforgettable.
The best time to go – September to December when its springtime in the desert.
