Aranwa Sacred Valley

The Sacred Valley location is the first and best property of the small Peruvian hotel group Aranwa. The sprawling, beautifully landscaped grounds are built around a 17th-century hacienda along the river, with numerous trails and a lake, not to mention a plethora of weird yet welcome extras like a movie theater, colonial chapel, art gallery, and top-notch spa with original treatments with Andean themes. Opt for the more interesting colonial rooms with antique furnishings in the original buildings if you want atmosphere, instead of the comfy but modern rooms that could be found anywhere. The enormous suites are some of the best in the Sacred Valley, set along the river or on the lake, adding kitchenettes and Jacuzzis.
