World Class Experiences
After a day out on excursions, the spa here is a really nice place to relax and the massages are great.
Praise
It is a remarkable thing to make such an inhospitable place – the world’s driest non-polar desert – into somewhere as plush as this cattle corral-turned-boutique escape.
Wanderlust, April 2025One of the three lodges operated by Chile-based Tierra Hotels, this intimate all-inclusive in the heart of the country’s northern desert is a go-to for stargazers, bird watchers, and adventurers.
Travel + Leisure, July 2024Located in the small, launching-pad town of San Pedro in Chile's Atacama Desert, Tierra Atacama has a quality you don't too often find in hotels: It encourages you to leave. That concept comes, of course, on the condition that you are spoiled upon your return.

Hotels Own Introduction
A Desert Oasis Awaits
Tierra Atacama shines as brightly as the stars that twinkle above the vast northern desert, located on the outskirts of the small village of San Pedro de Atacama. Overlooking the Andean mountain range and the iconic Licancabur Volcano, this luxury retreat is designed to immerse guests in the breathtaking landscape, offering a serene base for those eager to explore the spirit of the altiplano.
Rooms with a View
With dramatic views of the surrounding desert and the towering Licancabur Volcano, Tierra Atacama’s 32 elegant rooms provide a luxurious retreat. Each room is thoughtfully designed to bring the outside in, with subtle nods to the region’s rich culture and history, creating a seamless connection between the indoors and the spectacular surroundings.
Culinary Delights
In this high-altitude setting, Tierra Atacama’s cuisine is intentionally light, vibrant, and full of flavor. With a focus on local, seasonal ingredients, our culinary approach blends traditional recipes with innovative techniques. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the dining areas with natural light, offering panoramic views of the desert while you enjoy fine cuisine.
Rejuvenation at Uma Spa
After a day of adventure, Uma Spa offers a peaceful refuge, with a heated indoor pool, steam room, and treatment rooms inviting relaxation and rejuvenation. Outdoors, an infinity pool, hot tub, sun deck, and dedicated yoga spaces are perfectly positioned to take in the sweeping views of the desert beyond.
