Accommodations

The colors of the Atacama Desert.

Spacious and built from local natural materials, the rooms and suites at Nayara Alto Atacama reflect the colors of the desert around them. Large windows filter the desert sun, keeping interiors at an ideal temperature and light from morning through night, while terraces look out over the Salt Mountain Range. Touches of the local culture are everywhere, from handwoven throws to macramé hangings, complementing the natural fabric palette. From inside, you can hear the San Pedro River flowing down to the valley from the Andes.
Pool

Pools connected to the landscape.

Nayara Alto Atacama has six pools, each positioned to make the most of the surrounding landscape—offering panoramic views of the Andes Mountains and the valleys below, with lush vegetation providing privacy between them. One pool is heated, making it a natural gathering point as the desert cools after dark.
Spa

Treatments according to fire, water, earth, and air.

Treatments at Nayara Alto Atacama are organized around the four ancestral elements—fire, water, earth, and air—and delivered using local artisanal, organic products alongside sound and aroma to create an environment designed for genuine disconnection.
Restaurant + Bar

North Chilean cuisine that goes hand-in-hand with the desert.

The kitchen at Nayara Alto Atacama draws on the foundations of North Chilean cuisine: corn, wheat, and meat, combined with root vegetables, edible grasses, and grains for a menu that feels fresh, light, and hand-in-hand with the sublime terrain of the desert. The bar at Nayara Alto Atacama offers a handpicked collection of Chile's top wines, and a wine pairing dinner is available for those who want a more considered introduction to the best vineyards in the region.
