BELMOND HOTEL RIO SAGRADO

Set on the banks of the sacred Urubamba River, in the shadow of the Andes, lies Belmond Hotel Rio Sagrado. This oasis of calm has the feel of an ancient Incan farmstead-staff lend the warmth of a family home while the treasures of the natural world are tangible. In such astounding surroundings, you'll feel relaxed and revitalised. Little wonder it's called the Sacred Valley. A stay at our hotel is an adventure for the senses. From the soothing rumble of the river to the colourful flowers shrouding the property, everything here enchants as it soothes. Relax on a guided tour of the gardens or practice yoga on the riverbanks. Float in our heated pool or sink into a hammock. Indulge at the Andean-style Spa Mayu Willka with luxurious body wraps of Inca's Gold and organic cocoa, before detoxing in the outdoor jacuzzi. As birds jabber overhead and wind whispers in the emerald trees, you'll find total tranquility. Whether it's waking to a shaman's call or bedding down with a hot water bottle, we know it's the little things that make your stay special. Feeding milk to our baby alpacas is a highlight for many, but snuggling up under an wool rug with a cup of muña tea can be just as enjoyable.
