Habitas Hotel

About Habitas Hotel

A design inspired by the traditions of Rapa Nui and a location embedded in its history.

Facing the indigo waters of the Pacific Ocean, Hotel Altiplanico is surrounded by the history and natural wonders of Rapa Nui (Easter Island). A smattering of buildings in the midst of pretty gardens, the hotel was designed in the style of a traditional boathouse with vivid, swirling black and white exteriors. On daily excursions, you'll explore the island's monolithic sights, from the lauded and very mysterious moai statues to the volcanoes that caused Rapa Nui to form. The national park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and, along the way, the hotel's guides will share the legends and curiosities of its original peoples with you.

Property details

The property

On an oceanside clifftop, the hotel occupies 1.5 hectares of well-groomed gardens, where you can enjoy strolls, a dip in the circular pool, or Pisco Sours at sunset. The restaurant is open and airy and offers a mix of Peruvian, Chilean and Rapa Nui-inspired dishes - the fresher-than-fresh seafood is a real highlight, of course. The bar plays lively music that floats onto the terrace and creating the ideal setting to take in the views with a glass of something cold and replay the day's adventures.

The rooms

There are 16 villas set in a trio of semi-circles, their exterior walls painted in striking patterns of black and white (an homage to the Rapa Nui culture) and afforded extra privacy by manavais - stone-walled gardens planted with crops, flowers and trees. The interiors are simple and light with platformed beds, jewel-bright textiles and open-roofed rainfall showers. The views are their greatest feature, and you'll enjoy them through French doors that open onto a private terrace or garden area.

Activities

Rapa Nui is heaven for the adventurous traveller with a bevy of activities from volcano treks and horseback rides to scuba diving. We'll bet the moais are at the top of your list and you'll visit Ranu Raraku (the 'Nursery') where most were built and hundreds sit unfinished, or Puna Pau where their rusty-red hats were carved. Delve further into the island's history at Orongo village, where the sacred election of the 'Birdman' was carried out. Then, there's trekking Poike Volcano, cycling along quiet island roads, or laying on the pink shores of Anakena.

Why we love it

The views. The views. The views. And the undisturbed places from which to enjoy them from.

Insiders Tip

The hotel grounds are home to a variety of small archaeological sites, which are protected by low stone walls. Be sure to take a moment to linger and learn a little more about the original peoples.

Something to think about

The hotel is a 20-minute walk from Hanga Roa, which doesn't make it easy to go out for meals. And be prepared for a digital detox with no TV or Wi-Fi in the rooms.
