Places To Stay
Belmond Miraflores Park
Belmond Miraflores Park is a sanctuary in the capital, set in the midst of Lima’s trendiest area. Use it as your base for exploring the nearby museums, colonial buildings, and park, then retreat here to relax in sublime surroundings with sparkling views of the Pacific Ocean.
Aqua Nera
Since its maiden voyage in 2020, Aqua Nera has been setting the standard for river boat exploration in the Amazon region. With a maximum of 40 guests, looked after by 40 staff, you can expect an unforgettable experience that is both adventurous and relaxing in equal measure.
Sol y Luna
In the Sacred Valley, with the Andes Mountains dominating the skyline, the beautiful gardens of Sol y Luna exquisitely complement the hotel’s stone casitas (“little houses”). It’s a truly magical location; the backdrop is enhanced by the orientation of the terraces and the careful planting of indigenous flowers.
Belmond Sanctuary Lodge
Right at the foot of the Inca city of Machu Picchu, the Belmond Sanctuary Lodge’s location could not be more perfect. The views are breathtaking, but it is the sense of history in this place which will really blow you away.
Belmond Palacio Nazarenas
You won’t regret staying at the restored 17th century palace and convent of Belmond Palacio Nazarenas; its elegant cloistered courtyards seamlessly blend with modern luxuries such as Cusco’s first outdoor heated swimming pool.
Cirqa, Arequipa
The boutique hotel is located in the heart of the city, just a block away from Arequipa's main square. This makes it a perfect place from which to explore the city’s Spanish-colonial architecture, spend lazy afternoons sampling its culinary delights and sipping pisco sour whilst people-watching at the plaza.
Belmond Las Casitas
The stunning Colca Canyon surrounds you as you take in the delights of the Belmond Las Casitas Arequipa. The 20 fairytale-worthy picturesque bungalows set in 20 acres blend into the striking landscape, and put you in the perfect location for contact with the local communities and exploring the unspoilt natural world.
