About NOI Casa Atacama

NOI is what you want it to be: a desert retreat, adventure hub or better yet - both!

Only a short walk away from San Pedro's main square, NOI Casa has captured the essence of the Atacama Desert, and its feeling of calm, serenity and quiet. The apricot-walled buildings sit within a garden of native flora and scrub, and the interiors harness the cultural influences of the region. Vivid artwork and artisanal furnishings are scattered throughout, showcased by otherwise white and very linear spaces. Then, there are the excursions, which range from hikes amongst hissing geysers and technicolour rock formations to relaxing soaks in the Salar de Atacama lagoons, which have a higher buoyancy than the Dead Sea.

Property details

The property

Built around a central courtyard, the buildings are decorated with authentic textiles and artwork depicting local scenes. Served at banquettes dotted with plump, colourful cushions, meals are a variety of Chilean and international cuisine, gleaning most of their ingredients from a nearby farm. The pool and adjacent Jacuzzi has a bevy of sun loungers and shaded day beds to recline on, and the bar is just next door. The El Chañar Spa is an adobe sanctuary with a heavenly menu of traditional altiplanico therapies.

The rooms

The range of rooms and suites are all simple and understated, with white-washed wooden beds topped by 400 thread-count Egyptian cotton linens, goose down pillows and earthy throws - and blackout curtains when you want to sleep in. Each features a balcony or terrace and some enjoy a private, interior courtyard with a marble-clad bathroom that opens onto it. The largest suite also has an outdoor shower, and other NOI suites have a spacious living area with a fireplace for chillier days. All rooms come with heating.

Activities

The Atacama Desert is a playground for all ages, and it can be explored via hiking and cycling trails, or on scenic drives. You'll have the chance to gaze at surreal landscapes, including the fascinating salt flats, Tatio Geysers (leave at dawn and enjoy breakfast in one of the highest geothermal fields in the world), and the famous Moon or Rainbow Valley. You could also take a dip in the Puritama Hot Springs (replenished by water from the Sairecabur Volcano) and admire the rosy flocks of Chilean flamingos at Chaxa Lagoon.

Why we love it

Feeling like you're in the middle of nowhere whilst not being far from the restaurants and history of San Pedro.

Insiders Tip

When you visit the bar, try one of NOI's Pisco Sour varietals - there's chanar, coca leaf, rica rica or the classic.

Something to think about

While most excursions are long and fairly active, shorter or less demanding activities can be arranged for families with young kids.
