The two remarkable properties that make up the Tierra Hotels collection are Tierra Atacama, in the ethereal Atacama Desert and Tierra Patagonia, in the vast wilderness of Southern Patagonia, amongst the majestic peaks of Torres del Paine National Park.
Nestled into a fertile oasis high in the northern desert of Chile, Tierra Atacama keeps watch over the Andean mountain range and nearby volcanoes, basking in panoramic views from dawn till dusk. Discover the ethereal wonders of the Atacama Desert, including drifting sand dunes, hissing geothermal wonders, immense canyons and surreal turquoise lagoons amid vast white salt flats. Glowing sunrises and mind-blowing sunsets are a daily delight, and when night descends, pristine skies reveal an awe-inspiring celestial spectacle.
Embraced by a vast sky and framed by the awe-inspiring Torres del Paine Massif, Tierra Patagonia stands as a luxury refuge in one of the wildest places on Earth. Explore all four regions of Torres del Paine National Park – a vast wonderland for the adventure seeking traveler – with boundless hiking trails leading to the discovery of iconic peaks, mirror-glass lagoons, subpolar forests, mighty glaciers and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to spot native wildlife along the way.

Uma, or ‘water’, is celebrated at our Uma Spas. A welcome oasis amid wild terrain, each hotel’s spa is designed as a serene refuge for complete renewal of body and soul, offering an extensive menu of treatments and using locally sourced ingredients to instill a true sense of place.
Our remote destinations are our source of inspiration and drive our commitment to manage our impact on the land and wildlife. A dynamic environmental management plan featuring advanced and emerging technologies steers hotel operations and ultimately enhances each guest’s experience.
Connection with community and culture is core to our philosophy. We enjoy strong links to our local regions, celebrating culture and tradition via our excursions, the rich produce of local fishing and farming communities via our cuisine and the craftsmanship of local artisans through our interior design.
