Where to Stay in Pichilemu, the Undiscovered Tulum of Chile | Vogue

"With 12 private bungalows and floor-to-ceiling views of the Chilean coastline, a stay atHotel Alaiaensures you’re in the heart of the town’s adventurous action. Named after a round-nosed, square-tailed board first used in ancient Hawaii, the property’s organic and sustainable surf roots run deep. Each bungalow features outdoor terraces with access to the Pacific Ocean, an area the property works to preserve, creating harmony between the local community and the natural environment. With its own skate school, rock-climbing boulder wall, and fleet of stand-up paddle boards, Hotel Alaia offers plenty of ways to experience Pichilemu’s natural delights, but you can also find reasons not to leave the hotel, with in-room massages and cozy lobby fireplaces perfect for nightcaps. At the property’s own sea-to-table restaurant, dine on cuisine by chef Juan Morales, who sources organic vegetables, rock fish, and virtually every ingredient from a 60-mile radius. Well positioned near the Colchagua Valley wine region, guests can join winemaker Isidora Aldunate each Friday and Saturday evening (upon request) to taste the area’s plentiful wine varietals." - Michaela Trimble
