"On Easter Island I encountered a rare chance to take part in moai carving in a garden workshop at Nayara Hangaroa: local artisans lead sessions using traditional tools and volcanic stone, teaching the ancient techniques and the stories behind these ancestral figures. The resulting sculpture is modest in size but heavy with meaning, a hands-on way to engage with one of the world’s most mythic art forms. Rooms from $700 (including breakfast) and $1,100 (full board); moai-carving experience from $135 per person." - Jordi Lippe-McGraw
"A family-owned oceanfront hotel with 69 rooms spread across 17 acres near the center of Hanga Roa, presented as a convenient lodging option for exploring local archaeological sites and festival activities." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.

"Nayara Hangaroa was another good thing to come out of the pandemic. Formerly the Hangaroa Eco Village & Spa, it became a Nayara resort after the island closed in 2020. The new owners have refreshed the rooms and added a well-marked walking route on the property; the roster of guest experiences includes visits with local artists and musicians." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"With 75 rooms and an ocean vista in the center of town, the Hangaroa Eco Village & Spa has it made: The retreat occupies a choice swath of land on the southwestern tip of Easter Island, about a four-and-a-half hour flight from Santiago, and sits just five minutes from the local airport. Aside from its prime location, the hotel's breezy, open-concept layout and sea-view rooms (each outfitted with custom clay baths, crafted by Chilean artisans) help deliver that blissed out vibe—pretty rare for a retreat this close to the action. There are two restaurants and a bar, each of which draw from local seafood and produce, along with Polynesian spices, plus a four-room spa and a pool; but the main event at Hangaroa are the island excursions. Hop on a horse and tour the island, or hitch up for a two-hour sunrise hike in Ahu Tongariki, an ancient ceremonial platform outfitted with 15 giant stone statues. And should you decide to stay put on the pristine beaches of Rapa Nui? Well, that's okay too."
