Explora Atacama

Located at the southern tip of Chile’s iconic Atacama Desert, CasaMolle is a cosy, luxurious yet adventurous base from which to explore. Designed in adobe style, synonymous with the region, natural coloured stone construction combines with rich textiles of ochre, red, white and black for a glorious aesthetic.

Almost imperceptible from its backdrop of baked red rock, emerging as a perfectly placed traditional adobe settlement, it takes an even closer look to discover that this is, in fact, the very conscientiously designed and luxuriously authentic Nayara Alto Atacama. Its beauty is matched by its sustainable ideals, with the resort dedicated to integrating into the environment without causing harm to the immediate landscapes or ecosystems.

In the shadow of the Cordillera de la Sal and with the San Pedro River coursing by its enviably remote and magical position in the Atacama desert means it is well placed to explore the surrounding natural sights of deep, sweeping valleys and canyons, kaleidoscope skies, serene lagoons, ancient ruins and tempestuous geysers.

Yet the location is only part of the hotel’s unique allure; its design both in and out stylishly embraces the aesthetic of the Altiplano and Atacama. Varying textures in the form of colourful earth-tone tiles, Brea lamps, cave paintings, local iconography, sculptures, and coarse Aguayo tapestries and Amerindian textiles, blend to create an inviting, warm and intimate atmosphere to the contrasting wilderness outside. Each comfortable room features its own terrace and is equipped with many modern appliances and luxuries.

What’s more the hotel’s activities and expeditions are expertly planned and personalised to you, with private guiding available. The staff will do their utmost to look after you and there are many facilities to enjoy at the hotel, such as yoga, spa treatments, hot springs, or just sitting under the patio awnings gazing at the spectacle in front of you.

Chile’s answer to ‘glamping’ : the travel concept and coined amalgam of glamorous camping, at Adventur Camp you will enjoy days of exploring the vast, colourful and contorted plains of the rugged Atacama desert followed by nights under a black dome of stars, sitting around a roaring bonfire and dining on Chilean haute cuisine.

Ten elegant, heated tents are padded out with all the luxury and authenticity associated with the rich caravanserais of the past plus the sustainable conscientiousness and techniques of today with power provided by solar energy. Adorned with hand woven rugs and throws, locally crafted art and wicker furniture, the tents are wonderfully stylish and cosy canvas caverns.

Expert guides will take you on a myriad of activities from trekking the salt flats, mountain or quad biking along the desert’s ravines to horseback riding and star gazing.

Nights are filled with good food, delicious regional wines, live music entertainment and cultural exchanges all in the most spectacular remoteness and stark beauty of the Atacama.

Nestled in the northern desert of Chile, the Tierra Atacama encapsulates exquisite design and authentic experiences. The hotel has been designed to be casually elegant in a neo-minimal style, with rooms intricately decked out with local, carefully sourced, hand-made textiles to add an authentic desert feel.
