The house
BelmondRiverside Andean hamlet
Baby alpacas graze across riverfront lawns, where stone lodges mirror the quiet contours of a traditional Andean hamlet.
“Traditional materials and design create an exclusive enclave modeled on Andean village life, but five-star lavishness is also paramount at this intimate and secluded hotel...”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Shamanic earth ceremonies, daily baby alpaca feedings, and traditional Pachamanca feasts beside the river.

the nineteen rooms and suites (and the two multi-bedroom villas) are patterned after a traditional Andean village, and their shapes and materials are meant to merge with the landscape.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The hotel operates its own private rail platform for boarding trains to Machu Picchu, fifteen minutes downriver from Ollantaytambo.
The rooms
River-facing terraces look out to the Andes, paired with heated bathroom floors, woven indigenous textiles, and soft alpaca wool throws.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool curves along the valley lawns, bordered by stone decking and views of the surrounding peaks.
The spa and yoga
Indoor whirlpools and Maras salt treatments look onto the valley, and morning meditation gathers directly beside the rushing river.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
El Huerto prepares Andean dishes with harvest from the on-site organic garden beneath rustic timber and reed ceilings.
How it began
Stepped into the Sacred Valley hillside, the property was built with local stone and timber to echo rural Andean village life.
