We stayed at Tierras Atacama and Patagonia property. Loved both, but this recent renovation really gave the Atacama property a new life. The food, cocktails, service, private guides, and the rooms and property itself were all amazing. Our villa was huge, with a lovely fireplace and private pool. As ...

The hospitality was top tier and you could tell everyone loved what they did. It felt like they anticipated our needs at all times, like setting a humidifier up during turn down or packing you a lunch on your way back to the airport. Little touches make a whole world of difference. The Atacama dese...

The Daily Reality

Food, pools & the beach itself

Where you'll actually spend the week: how many places there are to eat and drink, what the pool scene offers, and what the water in front of the resort is really like.

Dining & bars

1 restaurant· Chilean · Local Atacama · International · Gourmet

All-inclusive tariff includes breakfast, lunch and gourmet dinner; restaurant facilities are reserved for in-house guests.

Pools & waterplay

2 poolsHeated · year-round indoor hydro-massage pool

Official FAQ lists a heated indoor hydro-massage pool, outdoor infinity pool, Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna.

Venue counts come from the resort's own pages; beach conditions draw on monitoring data and consistent traveler reports. The sea doesn't read press releases, so treat seasonal notes as odds, not promises.

For Families

Taking the kids to Tierra Atacama?

A family week turns on the details brochures skip: whether the kids' club is genuinely supervised, who watches the baby on date night, and whether four of you fit in one room. Here's what we've verified.

Rooms that fit a family
Apartment
Heated pools
Yes, year-round indoor hydro-massage pool

Families are accommodated, especially in the Apartment category, but this is an expedition lodge rather than a kids-club resort.

Questions parents ask

Can a family of 5 stay in one room at Tierra Atacama?

Yes. Tierra Atacama has room categories that sleep 5 or more in one key: Apartment. The largest stated occupancy is 6. Occupancy rules count most children (and sometimes infants) toward the limit, so confirm your exact ages with the resort when you book.

Are the pools at Tierra Atacama heated?

Yes: pool heating is confirmed, running year-round indoor hydro-massage pool. That matters most December through February, when unheated pools in the region can be too cold for small children.

Kids' club ages, hours, and babysitting availability change seasonally, so confirm with the resort before booking.

Not sure this one fits your crew? Match resorts to your kids' exact ages for verified facts, not brochure claims.

Group Travel

Bringing the whole crew to Tierra Atacama?

Girlfriend trips, milestone birthdays, three generations under one roof: group logistics make or break the week. Here's how this resort handles them.

Group rates & packages
Offered

Official package page defines a group as ten people or five or more rooms traveling together.

Group policies vary by season and party size, so confirm with the resort's group desk before booking.
