Set in lush gardens beside the rumbling Urubamba River in the heart of the Sacred Valley – and perfectly placed as a serene base for onward journeys to Machu Picchu – this tranquil hideaway serves up a fab range of cultural and sporting activities that draw deeply on the ancient Andean world on its doorstep.

Relax with riverbank yoga as the mist rolls off the mountains. Explore the Sacred Valley on horseback, discovering Inca terraces and remote villages along the way. Float in the heated outdoor pool. Indulge in the Andean-style Mayu Willka Spa, where treatments are inspired by the sacred rituals of the surrounding landscape. Then sip on pisco sours at El Huerto Bar as the sun dips behind the peaks, before settling in for fine Peruvian dining with a contemporary twist at El Huerto Restaurant – the perfect end to a perfect Andean day.
