Tambo del Inka, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa

The hotel has undeniable sanctuary vibes. Walking in, you’re surrounded by endless lawns, water fountains and pretty stone pavilions. The lobby welcomes with an impressive stone fireplace, and the common areas are all high-ceilings, polished wood beams and elegant décor. The breakfast buffet includes a gluten free-section, the restaurant and bar have impeccable service, food and cocktails, and the wooden loungers by the indoor pool are just heavenly. Plus, they have a games room with a pool table if you fancy it.

The hotel’s 128 rooms and suites are styled in earthy tones and have a contemporary but cosy look, complete with hardwood floors. All have private balconies, perfect for soaking up the garden or mountain views, and shiny marble bathrooms with separate bathtub and shower, beautiful toiletries, huge mirrors and plush robes to cuddle up in. Beds and linen are top-quality and standard perks include Wi-Fi, flatscreen TVs, minibar and AC, while the bigger suites have a separate living room and - the cherry on top - personal butler service.

The hotel offers daily local experiences as part of the rate, so guests can enjoy anything from bread-baking and cocktail-making classes to Andean weaving demonstrations and even craft beer tastings. Kallpa Spa is recognised as one of the top in the country, while the heated indoor and outdoor pools are bound to be a treat for adults and kids alike. Concierge and tour services include adventure- and culture-filled options and, of course, Machu Picchu is only a train ride away.
