After visiting the Nayara property in Costa Rica, I knew a stay at Nayara Alto Atacama would be equally sensational and amazing…and it was! My husband and I flew into Calama and were immediately greeted by our transport driver at the arrivals hall. We were given water bottles for the hour and 15 minute drive to the resort, which was a nice touch. The drive might feel a little long, but the views are magnificent. Upon arriving at the resort, we were immediately greeted by Susana and were given a welcome drink. We were also starving and were immediately offered the bar menu so we could order something to eat. Side note: the prosciutto pizza was amazing! While eating Maria came over from the excursion desk and thoroughly explained all of our options and immediately booked each excursion for the duration of our stay. We chose the full experience, which includes all food, drinks (with the exception of premium wines and liquors), and excursions. I would absolutely recommend going this route as it was nice not having to think about laying out additional money for food/drinks and activities while there. Speaking of food…every single meal we ate was exceptional. All the ingredients were extremely fresh and the chef was innovative with coming up with different meal options each day. Some of our favorites were all the different soups they offered, the potato side dishes, the braised beef, several salmon dishes, and the BBQ night. All of the excursions, including the astronomy night were top tier and each of our guides were informative, personable, and helpful, especially Carlos, Rudolfo, and Fabiola. We did the Rainbow Valley Hike, the Ckamur Sunset Hike, Atacama Salt Flats, and the Pacana Monks. The beauty of the natural landscape and the wildlife were phenomenal, especially during the Salt Flat and Pacana Monk excursions. We stayed in a Tilo Suite Room and the room was made up twice a day was also extremely clean. We enjoyed sitting out on our balcony on the day bed staring at the beauty of the desert. Nayara may not be one of the biggest 5 star brands, but they operate a flawless operation and we will continue to visit their properties as you’re guaranteed a 5 star experience!
