Sacred Valley Peru – Sustainable Luxury with Soul

I’ve found in a world where luxury often risks losing its meaning, Sol y Luna in Peru’s Sacred Valley stands as a rare exception — a place where refinement is rooted in purpose, and where meaningful travel becomes a transformative experience.

Tucked between the ancient city of Cusco and the majestic heights of Machu Picchu, this exquisite Relais & Châteaux property offers more than just a place to rest. It’s a destination that speaks to the heart of the conscious traveller — those who seek both comfort and connection.

Founded by a visionary couple with a deep love for Peru, Sol y Luna was created to fund and sustain a school for underprivileged local children. Today, every stay directly supports that mission, allowing guests to experience luxury that genuinely gives back.

Elegance, Naturally Inspired

Set within expansive, flower-filled gardens alive with hummingbirds and Andean energy, the hotel’s 43 individual casitas are architectural love letters to the region’s rich cultural heritage. Each is a private retreat: handcrafted furniture by local artisans, handwoven textiles, 100% high-density cotton linens, and stunning frescoes by renowned Peruvian artist Federico Bauer.

The ambience is one of effortless elegance – a quiet, thoughtful luxury that doesn’t shout, but whispers stories of tradition, authenticity and artistry.

Culinary & Cultural Immersion

At Sol y Luna, cuisine is an art form. Guests can savour contemporary Peruvian dishes at two on-site restaurants, one of which is nestled beside Wayra Ranch, home to the property’s 25 Peruvian Paso horses. Over lunch, visitors are treated to graceful equestrian demonstrations — a celebration of one of the country’s most revered traditions.

Cultural immersion is seamlessly woven into each stay. Whether it’s taking part in a traditional Andean cooking class, exploring vibrant artisan markets, or enjoying private performances of local music and dance, guests are invited to engage with Peru in ways that feel both personal and profound.

Adventures with Altitude

For those craving adventure, the Sacred Valley offers a natural playground like no other. From private helicopter flights to Machu Picchu and guided trekking routes, to quad biking, paragliding, and kayaking – every detail can be curated for thrill-seekers, romantics, and curious explorers alike.

Back at Sol y Luna, the spa awaits – a tranquil refuge where age-old wellness traditions and modern techniques meet under Andean skies.

Travel That Matters

In a landscape shaped by time, tradition, and towering peaks, Sol y Luna offers something rare: a chance to pause, to connect, and to contribute.

For those seeking travel that aligns with their values – where luxury and legacy coexist – Sol y Luna is not simply a place to stay. It’s a place to belong.
