★★★★★ · Urubamba

The hotel occupies a 17th-century colonial hacienda on the banks of the Río Urubamba, in Huayllabamba, among gardens, interior lakes and mountains. It lies an hour and a half from Cusco and 40 minutes from Ollantaytambo train station, where trains depart for Machu Picchu. The Sacred Valley sits at lower altitude than Cusco, which helps with acclimatization.

Wellness is the focus of the property: the spa works with alternative medicine using native products such as quinoa, alongside hydrotherapy and aromatherapy. It adds an outdoor pool, a heated Jacuzzi and a gym, and rounds out the offering with a museum, chapel and cinema room within the complex.

The 115 rooms and suites combine colonial and modern style, with a Jacuzzi and views of the river, gardens or interior lakes. Three restaurants range from Nikkei fusion to cuisine with native organic produce. A choice for travellers seeking a rest and wellness programme in the valley.
