Overview
A 5-star Sacred Valley hacienda on 100 acres
Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba sits on a hundred-acre Andean-hillside estate at Huayoccari in the Sacred Valley — a contemporary hacienda and National Geographic Unique Lodge of the World from Inkaterra, Peru's eco-tourism pioneer. Thirty-six rooms in total fill the main Casa Hacienda, with twelve there and twenty-four standalone Urubamba Casitas spread across the hillside, each with a fireplace, a private terrace, a seating and dining area and panoramic valley views, from around twenty-four square metres. A ten-acre organic farm of quinoa, giant Urubamba corn and native potatoes feeds the table, guests harvesting from it, and the all-organic Mayu Spa adds a hot plunge pool, four therapy rooms and a dry sauna between the orchard and a pepper-tree forest. The stay is bed-and-breakfast with complimentary guided excursions — dawn birdwatching, stargazing, chicha-making — making it activity-inclusive in effect. At around two thousand eight hundred and seventy metres, lower than Cusco, it is the recommended gentle acclimatization base before Machu Picchu, for couples and culture-and-wellness travellers.

Other Peru hotels you might consider
Peru
Belmond Hotel Monasterio
Belmond Hotel Monasterio occupies a 1592 former monastery built on an Inca palace foundation, two blocks from Cusco's Plaza de Armas. Original stone cloisters, vaulted arches, a gold-leaf chapel, Escuela Cusqueña art and a 300-year-old cedar courtyard set the scene; oxygen-enriched rooms ease the 3,399-metre altitude. El Tupay serves candlelit dinners in the stone-arched historic chapel with opera nights, and the hotel is the classic Cusco heritage base for Machu Picchu.
Peru
Belmond Sanctuary Lodge
Belmond Sanctuary Lodge is the only hotel at the entrance to the Machu Picchu citadel — first through the gates at sunrise, still there once the day-trippers have left, with out-of-hours guided access to the ruins. Thirty-one rooms in earthy textiles and unrendered stone look over orchid gardens, hummingbirds and Huayna Picchu; Tampu serves farm-to-table Peruvian cooking; and arrival is by the Hiram Bingham luxury train. Rooms run from 15 square metres — the access is what you come for.
Peru
Titilaka
Titilaka stands alone on a private peninsula on Lake Titicaca, an all-inclusive Relais & Châteaux lodge of just 18 lake-view rooms with two private beaches at 3,812 metres. Rooms are named for the light — Dawn rooms face the sunrise, Dusk rooms the sunset — and the rate folds in a dozen-plus excursions, from the Uros Floating Islands to Aymara community visits. Relais & Châteaux seasonal cuisine, a wood-fired hot tub and deep community roots complete a lodge that runs on hydroelectric power.
