À vivre

Hotel Alaia is located near the fashionable seaside resort of Pichilemu, on a rocky peninsula known as Punta de Lobos. Here, the Pacific is a playground for surfers from around the world.

Hotel Alaia is the work of local architect Nicolas Pfenniger and decorator Paulina Catafau, who created this comfortable refuge that blends seamlessly into the landscape.

Black-stone bungalow-chalets with oversized glass windows, old wooden boards, and other materials salvaged here and there following the devastating 2010 earthquake are scattered between sea and moorland. You'll fall under the spell of the striking rocks and cliffs where the waves break, splashing enthusiasts and awestruck onlookers alike.

Layout

12 bungalows whose interiors showcase raw woodwork. Decorator Paulina Catafau has filled them with charming small details. Surfing gear and photographs, furniture, artworks and sculptures by local artists decorate the space with refinement. Heart-shaped ornaments with Native American references flutter in the wind on the balcony. After a day of climbing, cycling, or simply enjoying the hidden wonders of the coastline, you can savour organic seafood dishes and the finest wines of the Colchagua Valley in the hotel's welcoming restaurant.

Rooms

All rooms measure 35 m² and are decorated with wooden furniture mostly sourced from local craftsmen. The walls are clad in recycled oak from the debris of the 2010 earthquake. Architect Nicolas Pfenniger set out to create a project with low visual impact, centred on the raw landscape of Punta de Lobos. The minibar is generously stocked with local craft beers, wines from the Colchagua Valley, dried meat, dark chocolate and other regional snacks.
