Staays

Overlooking Lake Titicaca, this homely Peruvian hotel is a wildly remote spot to bed down (it’s an hour’s drive from any town nearby). Inside, it’s the best mix of high-low: simple design warmed with artisan rugs and local artwork (and all the bells and whistles of a tip-top stay). But they really put the emphasis on the views –watching the sunset light up the lake from around the fire pit is something else; just pack warm clothes for the clear-skied nights. This retreat (from the people at Andean) prioritises peace and a chance to get stuck in the local lifestyle. Visit nearby floating islands, meet local craftspeople or sample regional dishes – it's all here.
