4 Luxury Beach Hotels in Peru
Peru certainly isn’t at the top of the list when it comes to booking beach breaks, however, this vibrant country which is steeped in history and culture also boasts some incredible boutique hotels right next to the sea. The coastline of Peru is huge, with almost 2,500km of beaches, cliffs and islets. Much of this vast area is empty – with nothing but the waves crashing onto miles of white sand and a few birds floating on the sea breeze. This remote and unspoilt charm is what has led to a few exclusive boutique hotels being built here, and these are our favourites;
KiChic
Just a short distance away from the bustling surfers town of Mancora, the small and yet stunning KiChic Hotel is the perfect escape from daily life. It is located on the beach itself, allowing guests to enjoy peaceful views of the ocean and well-manicured gardens. It has an a la carte restaurant and bar, a beautiful swimming pool and an ambience of tranquility throughout. Authentic white washed walls and thatched roofs make KiChic attractive outside as well as in, and the interiors really are something special. Sumptuous textiles and traditional patterns are displayed everywhere, alongside contemporary design pieces and quirky modern touches. Each room is well equipped with a shower, hairdryer, complimentary toiletries, air conditioning, TV, minibar, super soft 300 thread cotton linen and bamboo fibre towels, bathrobes and either a garden or sea view. During a holiday to KiChic, guests can take part in yoga classes, indulge in a massage or simply relax on the sun loungers and top up the tan.
