Altiplanico Rapa Nui Details
Style
Simply and elegantly designed boutique hotel, constructed to resemble the traditional boathouses of the island.
Setting
On the western coast of Easter Island, with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean.
Accommodation & Facilities
Rooms are spacious and detached from each other, each with a unique design, kept simple to increase the feeling of space. Opening out to fantastic views, these wonderful ‘cabins’ form large relaxing areas for you at the end of a busy day, with comfortable bedding to sink into. All cabins are ensuite with a shower open to the elements, then king or twin beds and a private terrace through large patio doors. The aim was to encourage guests to live more in touch with the outdoors, something they have definitely succeeded on.
Emphasis is on personalised, high class service, ensuring you get a true feeling for Rapa Nui life. There is a circular pool, extensive gardens, where you will find fruit tree (banana & pineapple), citrus trees and flower plants and free internet. There is also a restaurant and bar open every day with good, relaxing music, open to the outdoors on one side, yet sheltered from any potential bad weather.
Dining
Gourmet cuisine is served, inspired by Peruvian, Chilean and Rapa Nui roots. Ingredients are sourced locally, from the fruits in the garden to the fresh seafood plucked straight from the sea.
Activities
Explore villages, volcanoes, see the incredible moai of which the island is renowned for, and learn about the inspiring culture of the people, from which the origins are still unknown. You will be welcomed with open arms and traditional flowery necklaces at the airport and taken on the adventure of a lifetime on this surprisingly small island. Hiking, mountain biking, fishing, boat trips, snorkelling and scuba diving are all available on the island.
Child Policy
Children are welcome and although there are no formal facilities, triple rooms can be formed and they are guaranteed to enjoy splashing around at the pool.
