Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel

---

Huayllabamba, Peru

The Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel & Wellness has the feel of an exclusive boutique resort. According to the 2010 Condé Nast Traveler Hot List, the hotel is “a dreamy Andean wonderland spread over a canal- and lake-filled compound beside the Vilcanota River, far from the clusters of resorts in the Sacred Valley” and notes how attentive staff “are on hand to give lifts around the property in a fleet of eco-carts, or to entice an alpaca or peacock to pose for a photo op.”

Designed on the grounds of a 17th century hacienda, amenities include a world class spa with 3 indoor pools for treatments as well as a large fitness center. An outdoor pool, jacuzzi, movie theatre with selection of documentary films, fishing pond and bicycles are all included in your stay.

Renowned chefs blend traditional Andean dishes with contemporary trends into delicious Novo Andino cuisine. In the lounge, the Sushi Bar combines Japanese and Peruvian elements into fresh captivating dishes. Cultural amenities include a small historic chapel, an art gallery, museum and library. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the glass covered orchid pyramid.
