Tierra Atacama
The landscape alone, surrounding the Tierra Atacama Hotel & Spa, is enough to reinvigorate the body and spirit. An almost otherworldly experience awaits in Northern Chile, on land forged by volcanic activity in the Atacama desert; with a range of salt flats, geysers, and lava formations at your feet, and a inspiring horizon above, day and night. And it was with attentiveness and respect for maintaining and sustaining the beauty of this region, and it’s people, that the renowned Purcell family approached the creation of their boutique resort on the edge of San Pedro de Atacama.
The 32 room Tierra Atacama has struck a lovely balance of attentive service, astride a relaxed home away from home ambiance. Guests can lounge by the pool, cozy up to tucked away fire pits, or grab a book and hang out in the lounge that will possibly have you taking away decorating ideas. And the guest rooms don’t miss a beat either — well appointed, with dual indoor/outdoor showers, and large terrace areas from which you’re treated to some of the most spectacular starscapes you’ll ever witness.
The hotel has also garnered high marks for their kitchen and wine list. They feature traditional Chilean and Andean dishes, with an emphasis on producing menus on a seasonal basis, sourcing locally produced ingredients whenever possible. And the wine offerings are, in a word, extensive.
The Purcell family and team behind the Tierra Atacama Hotel & Spa, have created a world class resort without question. And they not only maintained the magnificent natural beauty, but are actually augmenting it.
