Sunlight streams into our intimate yet utterly comfortable circular casitas made of local stone, terra cotta and adobe brick, surrounded by the entrancing Sacred Valley landscape so revered by the Incas.

Each handcrafted object within these private domains relates to the spirited people, magnificent places and rich history of the Sacred Valley.

Each offers under floor heating and a wood-burning fireplace for turning our most luxurious accommodations at Sol y Luna into hearth and home. Murals festooned with angels and animals of Peru are matched by hand loomed textiles of Cusco’s rich weaving traditions in these exceptional residences.

Within the gently rounded, rose hued walls of our ‘House of the Moon,’ along with serving a buffet breakfast and relaxed vegan lunch, we offer an exceptionally refined evening experience. Guests dine formally and in luxurious comfort around a traditional Peruvian hearth.

Fantastical murals and sculptures by Federico, our artist often in residence, finish these high, vaulted spaces made homey with local terra cotta tiles and stonework, hand-painted artisanal woodcarvings by Peruvian master Jaime Lievana and commanding wood burning fireplaces in both the Dining Room and Lounge. Andean cuisine honoring the wealth of naturally organic ingredients first harvested here in the bountiful Sacred Valley by the ancient Incas.

Peruvian haute cuisine meets Old and New World wines in our singular wine cellar. Spanish red walls surround the antique dining table for up to fourteen, set with hand-embroidered linens, custom china, formal silverware and an array of roses from our gardens. After horseback riding, exploring Machu Picchu or relaxing by the pool, an evening in this subterranean sanctuary ends the day on the most sophisticated epicurean note, with a bespoke menu of seasonal dishes prepared by Executive Chef Nacho Selis and paired with wines curated by our in-house Sommelier.

An artful gathering place for pisco sours and live performances.

Bienvenidos to Chef Nacho’s kitchen, where he leads up to ten guests on this three-course culinary adventure among the aromas, flavors, colors and tastes of Peru, accompanied by Pisco Sours. As you experience the Sacred Valley through your taste buds, learn about the produce of this fertile basin that has been the region’s breadbasket since the time of the Incas who built the agrarian terraces, called andenes in the Quechua language. These still grown natural ingredients at your table may include white and red corn, quinoa and around 4,000 types of potatoes.

We turn our hand-painted, wood-burning ovens on the outdoor terrace over to our guests, who don chef hats and aprons, to knead the dough and prepare pizzas under the guidance of our chef. The plentiful selection of fresh toppings, carnivore and vegetarian alike, ensure each pizza is an utterly customized glutton’s delight.

For the Incas, this rustic yet highly symbolic dining ritual named for the Quechua words pacha “earth” and manka “pot” represented a celebration of the cycle of life. Digging an earthen oven and cooking food underground pays homage to Pachamama, the Incan fertility goddess.

Convivial dining in the fresh Andean air, accompanied by Peruvian Paso horse riding demonstrations and Marinera dancers.

There is an outdoor pool.

In three private, candlelit treatment rooms, Yacu Wasi spa offers a wide range of treatments complemented by aromatherapy and essential oils, and includes the use of the herbal sauna and steam room.

Our aromatic Andean herbal infused sauna located in the spa and the newly built cardio and free weights equipped gym adjacent to the swimming pool offer two distinct ways to unwind. Both feel priceless yet are each complimentary for all Sol y Luna guests.

For our guests who like to rise with the sun that was so sacred to the ancient Incas, we offer Upon Request, classes to all our guests and held outdoors in the fresh Andean air.

Hummingbirds and butterflies flutter among our 25 acres of private gardens abundant with indigenous flowers and native bird species.
