Altiplanico Rapanui Hotel is ideally located ten minutes' walking distance to the town of Hanga Roa, yet set on four secluded acres with a panoramic view of the shoreline, on one of the world's most unique destinations. Altiplanico Rapanui is designed in the style of the traditional Rapanui boathouse, with luxurious gardens, a beautiful swimming pool overlooking the sea and large open spaces to relax. The sixteen spacious, elegant rooms are independent units, linked by exterior corridors of stone, sand, or grass. Each room has a private terrace, ocean views and doorways opening directly to the outside. Privacy is ensured by each unit being surrounded with circular stone planters of varying heights and diameters, and filling them with vegetables, flowers, shrubs and trees. The bathroom shower opens to the exterior to feel nearer to nature, since the climate is very warm. Decoration is simple but careful and elegant; each room’s decor is unique. The restaurant is open at night, along with the bar. A single menu is offered nightly of hors d'oevres, main course, and dessert. The food is a mixture inspired by Peruvian, Chilean and Rapanui roots. The result is a cuisine of high quality, surprising variety, and above all, very original.
