Also in Wallpaper* and AFAR.
Drenched in natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows, suites are luxuriously low-key, and Edda has selected works from her art collection.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A short walk leads to the calm waters of Playa Mansa and the relaxed beach shacks of José Ignacio.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass opens onto private terraces with swinging daybeds, while retro furnishings and local contemporary art keep the atmosphere low-key.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 16-meter green-marble pool is lightly salted, edged by lapacho wood decking and double daybeds under the palms.
At the table
Bliss cooks local seafood over open fire. Mornings begin with à la carte breakfast on the garden terraces.
Posada Ayana places a heavy emphasis on design and strives to create an environment that feels warm, welcoming, and stylish to its guests.
How it began
Conceived as a coastal escape for the Viennese Kofler family, the Alvaro Perez Azar retreat opened as an intimate posada in 2020.
