Miraflores Park, A Belmond Hotel

Miraflores Park offers all the features of a luxury hotel, with chic interiors and a large, wood-panelled lobby where friendly concierges are always happy to help with plans and adventures. The rooftop pool deck is the best place to perch for sunsets, while the Zest Spa is all about indulgence using indigenous organic products. And, of course: the food. The acclaimed Tragaluz Restaurant showcases the best Peruvian and fusion dishes, while Belo Bar’s expert mixologists create mouth-watering cocktails. Added bonus: the pond with tiny adorable turtles across the main entrance!

The all-suite hotel offers 89 spacious suites elegantly decorated with Peruvian flair. King-sized beds are dressed in fine cotton linens and all marble bathrooms feature a walk-in Spanish-style shower and gorgeous toiletries. Deluxe Junior Suites also have a bathtub and separate sauna, the one-bedroom suite includes a private terrace, and the 130m2 Presidential Suite even throws in a plunge pool to soak up the views. What better way to wind down after a day of urban exploits?

If looking to stay closer to the hotel, exploring the Miraflores boardwalk with its impressing cliffside vistas and hidden art sculptures is the perfect activity. Plus, the hotel offers bikes free of charge. The area is surrounded by plenty of restaurants and shops, while the bohemian district of Barranco is only a 10-minute walk away. The ocean is right below so surfing lessons are always a fun option, but if you’re more into history and culture, there are plenty of city tours or nearby sights on offer too.
