Overview

A Relais & Châteaux lodge in the heart of San Pedro

Awasi Atacama is the original Awasi — a Relais & Chateaux all-inclusive lodge behind a historic adobe wall in the heart of the oasis town of San Pedro, and Chile's first carbon-neutral hotel. Around twelve stone-and-adobe cottages of roughly fifty square metres carry thatched roofs, private patios, outdoor showers and solariums, some circular within the walls, some rectangular across the lane. What sets it apart in the Atacama is that every room comes with its own private guide and 4WD, so desert excursions are entirely bespoke, shaped around your own pace and interests on a flexible, private schedule. Relais & Chateaux dining draws on local produce, with cooking classes and oenology at an open-air bar, and a pool sits under the world's clearest skies. The desert around is extraordinary: the salt flats and flamingos of the Salar de Atacama, the geysers of El Tatio, the Valley of the Moon, high-altitude lagoons and volcanoes, all reached privately. San Pedro sits at around two thousand four hundred to two thousand five hundred metres, so the first day is taken gently. Reached from Calama, it is made for couples wanting private, tailor-made desert luxury.

The desert, fully private, defines a stay — head out with your own guide and 4WD to the salt flats and flamingos, the geysers of El Tatio, the Valley of the Moon and high lagoons, all on your schedule.
