Explora Rapa Nui

Luxury Holidays At Explora Rapa Nui

Explora Rapa Nui offers superb service and modern, cutting-edge accommodation on Easter Island (otherwise known as Rapa Nui and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995). Constructed of concrete, stone, glass and wood, this curve-shaped luxury lodge is the first LEED-certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) hotel in South America, with just thirty unique guest rooms and suites, all boasting red clay roofs and picture windows through which guests can admire the superlative, peaceful views of the far-reaching surrounding landscape. Located in Te Miro Oone, amongst four square miles of countryside, the lodge is wonderfully remote, with only the distant formations of Moai statues to interrupt your view down to the Pacific Ocean. Guests can enjoy a variety of excursions, from gentle ambling, snorkelling and fishing, to more treacherous volcano hikes, but there is also a bar and restaurant, as well as leisure facilities including an eliptically shaped swimming pool with surrounding wooden deck, a massage room, Jacuzzi and sauna. To aid the restful ambience that abounds here, guests will only find wi-fi in the public areas of the lodge and will be unable to 'channel-hop' as there are no televisions in the guest accommodation.

Culture & History

Guests can experience the history, heritage and culture of Easter Island (Rapa Nui) by participating in one of the lodge's many guided excursions. Due to the island's geographical beauty and rich culture, Rapa Nui was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. Get acquainted with the ancient Maoi statues - an amazing feat of ingenuity, these ancestral figures are over five-hundred years old and unique to the South Pacific, making for an almost spiritual experience.

Hotel Experiences

Explora Rapa Nui offers more than twenty explorations catering for all abilities, with dedicated expert bilingual local guides to teach you about the cultural and archaeological gems of this extraordinary island. For instance, scale steep cliffs on the 'Ara O Te Tanata Manu' hike until you reach the edge of the breathtaking Kau crater, where incredible panoramic views await; gaze out over the Pacific Ocean and spectacular interior of the volcano, before walking around the rim of the crater to an ancient ceremonial village. Fancy a swim? Snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of Rapu Nui, as you discover the island's marine wildlife, such as molluscs, crustaceans, coral and tropical fish.

Spa Breaks

After a long day of exploration, there is simply nothing better to do than unwind and relax those tired muscles in the swimming pool, Jacuzzi and massage area. The views of Easter Island from the pool are simply outstanding.
