Property Overview

Reopened in April 2025 following a year-long renovation, Tierra Atacama sits in the remote landscapes of northern Chile. The decor, crafted by local artisans, pays homage to the beauty of the desert, bringing it inside at every turn. Twenty-eight rooms include suites with private plunge pools and views of the Andes, framing the Licancabur volcano in the distance. The redesign introduces a new wine cellar, open kitchen, reimagined gastronomy, a transformed spa, and a dedicated stargazing space—a welcome addition in one of the world’s premier astronomy destinations.

Agent Tips

  • The trip to the geysers is an absolute must, so make sure it's on your excursion list before you arrive.
  • Make sure to pause at the end of the day to take in uninterrupted views of the natural “son et lumière” on the mountains at sunset.
  • After dinner, head outside to the fire pits on the terrace to gaze up at the stars overhead–few places have skies as clear as this.
Accommodations

Minimalist desert retreats.

Light, airy, and furnished with handcrafted local pieces, each of Tierra Atacama's twenty-eight rooms has a private terrace, cozy living area, and views of the Andes. Four suites add a freestanding bathtub, dressing room, separate living area, and private plunge pool, with rates including private excursions and airport transfers. Two apartments, sleeping up to six guests across two levels are a great option for families, each with a private upstairs terrace and a jacuzzi on the lower level.
Pool + Gym

An infinity pool framing the Andes.

The infinity pool drops into the horizon, showcasing perfect views of the Licancabur volcano and the Andes mountains. The ideal spot for a refreshing dip after a hike in the desert or a bike ride in the mountains. The gym is complimentary for all guests and stocked with machines, Pilates balls, blocks, and mats. Regular yoga classes are included in the stay, with private classes available on request.
Spa

A restorative space for treatments.

Uma – meaning water in the local Aymara language – is the guiding spirit of Tierra Atacama's spa, where water-based circuits sit at the heart of the experience. An outdoor pool, indoor heated pool with jets and hydromassage, sauna, and steam room form the circuit, while treatment rooms, including a new double cabin, open onto a sun-dappled terrace for post-treatment relaxation. Massages and therapies draw on local clays, herbs, and plant essences sourced from the surrounding Atacama landscape.
Restaurant + Bar

Contemporary Chilean cooking backdropped by the Andes.

The restaurant is light and airy, with ever-changing mountain views framing every meal. Contemporary dishes put fresh, local produce front and center at lunch and dinner, while desserts lean into the unique flavors of the Atacama, with homemade sorbets made with wild rica-rica herb, and a chañar pod syrup that pairs beautifully with algarrobo fruit harvested from the property's grounds. A wide selection of Chilean wines rounds things out, expertly matched with each dish. The bar's centerpiece is a striking slab of local travertine marble, a fitting stage for the signature rica rica sour, made with pisco macerated with wild herbs picked high in the altiplano, shaken with lemon juice, egg white, and a little sugar. A daily cocktail, Chilean wines, craft beers, and after-dinner digestifs round out a list best enjoyed on the terrace as the stars come out.
  • Vibe
    Sustainability, artisan-led design, and creativity all rooted in the local culture and Atacama landscape.
  • Who's it for?
    Tierra Atacama is made for curious, active travelers of all ages who are happy to get dusty during the day and want somewhere genuinely inviting to return to. We love it for those who want the adventure without roughing it, with spa circuits, rica rica sours, and a fire pit full of like-minded guests at the end of a day's adventure.
  • Location
    Sitting on the edge of San Pedro de Atacama, Tierra Atacama is set within twelve acres of land with ancient trees and newly planted herbs and flowers, with panoramic views of the Andes and the Licancabur volcano. Canyons, highland lakes, saltwater pools, and geysers are all within reach with the resort's experienced guides, and Calama Airport is an hour's drive away, itself two hours by air from Santiago.
