Nayara Alto Atacama sits in a natural oasis within the Atacama Desert. Located in the Antofagasta Region near Quitor, the property overlooks the Cordillera de la Sal (Salt Mountain Range) and the Andes Mountains. The desert receives rainfall from nearby mountains that flows down to form the oasis where the lodge is situated. The grounds include a cactus garden, Andean vegetable gardens, Algarrobo trees, and a llama corral.
Catarpe rooms (50 m²) feature warm woods, clay-textured walls, and hand-woven textiles in sand and terracotta tones that reflect colors of the surrounding Catarpe Valley. Each room has a king bed and a private terrace with views of either the lodge's gardens, the Catarpe Valley, or the Salt Mountain Range. From the room, you can hear the San Pedro River descending from the Andes. Amenities include a minibar with complimentary beverages and mineral water, twice-daily maid service, and yoga mats.
The Tilo Suite (70 m²) includes a private heated plunge pool on the outdoor terrace and an outdoor shower. The suite features a king bed and unobstructed views of the Salt Mountain Range and Andean hills. Like the Catarpe rooms, it includes a minibar with complimentary beverages, twice-daily maid service, and independent climate control.
The Ckelar Restaurant offers a four-course tasting menu prepared with seasonal and local ingredients. The kitchen draws from Chilean culinary traditions and regional produce. Wine pairings complement the menu.
The Puri Spa (Puri means water in the Kunza language) offers treatments organized around the elements of fire, water, earth, and air. The property features mineral hot springs pools. A yoga pavilion offers instructor-led sessions each morning. An evening telescope platform provides stargazing opportunities, taking advantage of the clear night skies the Atacama Desert is known for.
The desert provides the setting for guided exploration. The Valley of the Moon features rock formations and canyons with mountain ranges in pink hues. The Tara Salt Flat is a vast salt plain where the sky reflects on the mineral surface; wildlife in the area includes pink flamingos, vicuñas, Culpeo foxes, and Andean seagulls. The lodge arranges a frog-watching night tour, and ancient petroglyphs are accessible in the wider region.
