Need to know
Rooms
Nine, including four suites.

More details
Rates usually include buffet breakfasts, but exclude 10 per cent service charge and 10 per cent tax. In peak season (New Year, Easter and during Independence Day festivities in the last week of July), a minimum stay of four nights applies.
Also
The hotel has yoga classes every day except Wednesday (at 9am and sunset), along with cinema nights on the beach. And if dialling zero isn’t your preferred mode of communication, you’ll love the walkie-talkie you’ll be given to chat to staff with instead.
At the hotel
Beach, yoga sala, laundry, walkie-talkies to radio staff and free WiFi in communal areas. In rooms: sun hats, air-conditioning, a minibar, tea- and coffee-making kit, and bespoke bath products.
Our favourite rooms
Each of the rooms is unique in its artefact-employing interiors, some with rattan roofs, but all with hand-picked design details from all over the world. If direct beach access is a dealbreaker, go for Chic (one of the Suite Deluxes), which also has an ocean-facing deck, an outdoor shower and a Pablo Nerudo quote on the wall.
Poolside
There’s a pool running parallel to the beach, lined with sunloungers, with a four-poster cabana at one end (join the queue to sequester it for sunset).
Spa
There’s no spa, but the hotel has a masterful masseuse on speed-dial, who can appear for reflexology, reiki and chakra realignment.
Packing tips
The hotel is on northern Peru’s Pacific coast: if you want to fit in with the local travellers, bring some neoprene-based clothing for riding the waves in style.
Also
The hotel is not easily accessible for wheelchair users.
Children
Leave the kids at home – this one’s for over-14s only.
