A living fairy tale, this luxury Relais & Chateaux property runs wild with whimsy. Fans of folk art will be overwhelmed – its 43 casitas (cabins) feature original murals and comic, oversized sculptures by noted Peruvian artist Federico Bauer. The playful feel spills over to bold tropical hues and a decor of carved wooden beds, freestanding tubs and dainty chandeliers.
French-Swiss owned, it all conspires to charm you. Avant-garde circus productions with former Cirque de Soleil artists provide evening entertainment. For daytime fun, Peruvian paso horses can be ridden on the 15 hectares and beyond. With an eccentric atmosphere, its acclaimed restaurant Wayra is the creation of Lima’s Malabar-famed chef. There’s also a more casual open-air offering featuring food tours and chef visits.
