This exciting new property sits on a hill with ocean views in the south-west of the island.

In common with its sister hotels in Atacama and Patagonia, it was conceived to provide very comfortable accommodation, excellent cuisine and a range of activities from which guests can choose according to their personal preference, all backed up with meticulous service.

A mélange of the old and the new - constructed from local materials and featuring numerous picture windows, it is cleverly designed to resemble the form of the legendary bird man.

The hotel features 30 rooms, a swimming pool and Jacuzzis. Visit the archaeological sites on foot or by bicycle; there is also a diving opportunity for experienced divers.

Our comment

"explora’s approach is delightfully informal and the quality all round is superior by some considerable margin to the rest of the island."
