"Best for a digital detox "Sometimes you just need to disconnect, and Willka T’ika is one of the most incredible spots in the world to do so. Located in Peru’s Sacred Valley of the Incas, near Machu Picchu and other ancient ruins, the 26-room boutique hotel is surrounded by the Andes mountains and was created in part to honor Pachamama, the Andean deity who represents Mother Earth. With such a strong focus on nature, it should come as no surprise that Willka T’ika doesn’t have TVs or phones in the rooms, and only offers Wi-Fi in designated areas—perfect for a soul-reviving digital detox. And while the property has been a staple in wellness circles since it opened in 1995, they launched a new seven-day “Essential Wellness” program earlier this year, designed to help you restore your body, mind, and soul during difficult pandemic times. Each day of the program targets one of the seven chakras, or energy centers, of the human body through traditional Andean healing ceremonies, vegetarian farm-to-table meals, immunity-boosting juices and teas, yoga, breathtaking hikes, and time spent in their beloved Seven Chakra Gardens. Don’t miss the coca leaf reading with Layka, a traditional Andean healer who’s been with the property for more than 20 years."

100 stars if I could. What a magical experience it was to stay here!! The staff makes you feel a part of the family and are so attentive to details and each individual’s needs. The beautiful gardens, flavorful food, and incredible services Willka T’ika has to offer is other worldly. I especially recommend the Solar Bath and Hot Stone Massage. I feel grateful for my experience there! Definitely check out their shop above the dining room! All proceeds support the children’s fund + you can be decked out in beautiful Peruvian clothes/jewlery, etc.

Willka Tika is a retreat center like no other. Nestled in the sacred valley it provides a vessel of support for the spiritual traveler. The staff are incredible, responsive and attentive to one's needs. Always with a smile on their face. Being a retreat leader my every request was acknowledged. The food ourstanding, nourishing the body and soul. The rooms are large and comfortable. The garden experience extraordinary accompanied with hummingbird magick and the night time solar baths a special treat to sit beneath the stars. A magnificanert place to host a group as well as a personal retreat. I highly recommend this destination.

Our experience at Willka Tika was amazing. Such a beautiful place, the gardens are large and a pleasure to walk through or to relax and meditate in them. The staff and hosts are very helpful, kind, and compassionate people. I would highly recommend the solar baths at night time if you get the chance to. We had ours during a night with a full moon and the experience was amazing and very unique.

Can't speak highly enough of Willka T'ika and the lovely people who took care of our yoga retreat group for the week. Everything from the breathtaking gardens, the thoughtfully prepared vegetarian meals, the spacious rooms, and activities (highly recommend aromatherapy massage and solar bath to stargaze at night) was above and beyond. I would so grateful to have the opportunity to return to Willka T'ika again in this lifetime. Many, many thanks to all who made the week so wonderful.

I own a small niche travel company called InsightEcoTours.com I brought 18 Shamanic Practitioners to Willka Tika for a week. They absolutely LOVED everything that was offered and of course the best STAFF! Loving people, so helpful and supportive. Food was varied and different each day and delicious. The energy of the GARDENS and the feeling of being in the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu blew everyone away. This is my 5th time coming to this hidden GEM!! Highly recommend.

I had a great experience staying at Willka Tika in the sacred valley. The rooms, the beautiful garden, and the friendly staff are truly amazing. I loved taking a walk in the gardens in the mornings. Being surrounded by the mountains, the incredible breakfast, and meeting all kinds of interesting people! If anyone wants a get away to recharge and nourish their minds, this is the retreat for you! I look forward to coming back some day.

I cannot recommend Wilka T’ika highly enough. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely welcomed and cared for. The setting is absolutely breathtaking—nestled in the Sacred Valley with stunning views of the Andes, lush gardens, and a deep sense of peace that’s hard to put into words. What really sets Wilka T’ika apart, though, is the heart and intention behind everything. The staff are kind, attentive, and deeply rooted in the local culture. The optional excursions to sacred sites and villages were meaningful and enriching, giving me a true sense of place and connection to the spirit of Peru.
