Hotels Own Introduction
A Personal Retreat in José Ignacio
Created with the vision of offering a place that feels personal, inspiring and welcoming, Posada Ayana invites guests to relax completely and simply be themselves. Set in the laid-back coastal village of José Ignacio, the property was designed not only to create memorable stays for travellers but also to leave a meaningful and lasting impact on the surrounding community.
Three Distinctive Suites
The retreat features three individually designed suites, each offering its own character and atmosphere: the Ocean Suite (40 m²), the Sunflower Suite (56 m²) and the spacious Ayana Suite (58 m²). Guests can unwind with a book on a lounge chair in their private garden or relax on a generous terrace, surrounded by greenery and soft coastal breezes.
A Pool Designed for Pure Relaxation
At the heart of the property lies a striking 16-metre infinity pool crafted from green marble, a natural material that helps maintain a refreshing temperature throughout the day. Instead of chlorine, the pool is treated with a gentle touch of sea salt, creating water that feels soft and soothing on the skin.
Moments to Share
The tranquil surroundings make Posada Ayana an ideal setting for quiet reflection or easy conversation. Whether enjoying a peaceful read, sharing snacks and cocktails with friends, or meeting fellow travellers, the atmosphere encourages relaxed moments and genuine connection.
