Arennas Mancora

Kichic takes its name from two words; ki meaning an energy-giving life force and chic, synonymous with style. This beautiful boutique hotel is an oasis of calm on the shores of the Los Pocitas beach, that focuses on offering guests the opportunity to rejuvenate and reconnect with nature.

Each of the seven suites and rooms are spacious and flooded with natural light. Natural materials and a soft colour scheme of cream, stone and grey create a peaceful environment in which to relax. Most rooms come with a terrace and some feature outdoor showers and bath tubs. The deluxe suites have their own private plunge pool and direct access to the beach.

Local fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts are used to create delicious vegetarian meals at the hotel restaurant, where you can also enjoy freshly squeezed juices. There is also a seafood bar serving fresher-than-fresh fish from the surrounding waters.

You are located just moments from the beach where you can swim, snorkel, take a windsurfing lesson or simply lay back and relax. Back at the hotel, there is an outdoor pool and the opportunity to take a yoga class, unwind with a massage or just sit back with a drink and enjoy the sound of the waves and the rustle of the trees in the garden.

Set a few miles south of Mancora on the pleasant stretch of beach known as Las Pocitas, DCO suites is a welcome addition to the beach hotel scene in Peru. This is a stylish, well run boutique property of just seven rooms set right on the beach.

All of the six suites face out to see and the larger master suite includes a jacuzzi from which to enjoy the views (particularly the Pacific sunset). Facilities at the hotel also include a good bar, pool, beach service and a spa. The hotel’s restaurant is the best in the area and service is friendly and efficient.
