"Tucked amid the otherworldly expanse of the Atacama Desert, this desert‑chic property offers jaw‑dropping views of the Andes and curated excursions to geysers, salt flats and alien‑like landscapes; the remote location means careful planning for excursions. Spa offerings draw from the local environment—the Uma Spa features treatments using volcanic stones and desert botanicals—and nights are notable for exceptional stargazing opportunities. Practical details: about 63 miles from El Loa Airport (CJC), family‑friendly, Wi‑Fi included, starting rates from $1,170." - Meagan Drillinger Meagan Drillinger Meagan Drillinger left New York City for a life on the road.
